Beyond Calming Down: Creative Ways to Use Hypnosis and Homework with Anxious Clients - Part I

Anxious people are often looking to feel calm and relaxed, and while this is a worthy goal, it's not enough. Too often, calmness is achieved through avoidance and distraction, inadvertently supporting the anxiety. Hypnotic interventions can effectively introduce and develop the skills that most anxious clients lack, and interrupt the patterns that keep the disorder in charge. These skills include the ability to observe and shift anxious narratives, tolerate uncertainty, and shift the stance away from avoidance. Homework assignments are then given that activate the skills seeded with hypnosis, making for powerful interventions.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Psychological Flexibility

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is an evidence-based theory and is based on the smallest set of processes of change known empirically to do the most good in the most areas: psychological flexibility. In this brief introductory workshop, I will describe the model and how it applies to your cases. I will show how a focus on psychological flexibility can vitalize your clinical work when applied in an idiographic way and how ACT methods can be mixed with methods you already use to foster lasting change.
