This workshop addresses the treatment of acute and chronic pain related to psychological and/or somatic trauma. Special emphasis is placed on clients who present with complex symptoms such as fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, and migraines that have proven refractory to previous treatment. Synthesis of Ericksonian strategies with EMDR, imagery and meridian therapies with Energy Psychology to help maximize self-regulation is explored and demonstrated.
Addressing the affective dimension of pain in addition to the sensory focus typical of hypnotic pain management techniques greatly expands one's therapeutic impact in a manner congruent with the way Erickson practiced. This workshop will involve a didactic presentation, clinical demonstration and individual exercises designed to impact the affective dimension of pain.
This workshop addresses the treatment of acute and chronic pain that often evolves from emotional and physical trauma. Special emphasis is placed on hard-to-treat, complex symptoms such as fibromylagia, chronic fatigue, and migraines. Conversational Ericksonian strategies that facilitate ego-state therapy will be emphasized to help maximize the self-regulation of pain states.
Creative Psychosocial Genomics is proposed as the new foundation that underpins the neuroscience of therapeutic hypnosis and many psychotherapies. Currently it is the only evidence-based molecular-genomic approach to mind-body healing and problem solving that that facilitates (1) stem cell activation and a reduction of (2) chronic inflammation & (3) cellular oxidation.

This short course will introduce a treatment approach that targets the affective dimension of pain. The emotion specific wording and elicitation of positive state dependent learning can be used in a brief therapy approach whether or not patients' feelings of anger, sadness, or anxiety are associated with physical pain.
Guide your patients in self-relational, self-hypnotic intra-body conversations to self-manage their chronic pain and suffering. Patients will learn to compassionately listen to pain signals as distinct from self and body, and to proactively respond in self-supportive and soothing ways. The process is also effective for affect and anxiety management.
Clients in pain yearn for sleep; comfort just out of reach. Focus first on establishing soothing sleep and encouraging nocturnal restorative functions. Treating remaining pain stays in the day’s domain. Hypnosis enlists the mind and body’s natural processes, restoring healthy sleep. Strategic protocols combine physiology of sleep and pain management with the client’s own experience. These are further reinforced by self-hypnosis techniques. Program includes demonstration, application of trance script protocols, and case study discussion.
Ericksonian psychotherapy and hypnosis treatment (done in conjunction with the latest advances in medicine) of a multiple sclerosis (MS) case will be reported. Ten years later, medical reports show 95% recovery based on the evidence of the scanned images that will be presented as well as patient’s feed-back videos and a full description of the development of the illness and treatment.
