We regard hypnosis as an under-utilized tool in the standard treatment of patients by professionals in a variety of disciplines. As a result, our institute has developed a number of workshops for health care professionals.

The Erickson Institute of Hypnosis was established to train health professionals who wished to broaden their range of treatment modalities to include hypnosis. Then, as now, many health care providers have had very limited exposure to, and experience with, hypnosis as a valid component used in addressing a number of issues.

                                                      Workshop Descriptions

Modern Hypnosis: This 2-day workshop is designed for professionals with little or no experience in hypnosis. The course provides an introduction to the language of hypnosis, a brief history and the learning of such basic induction techniques as arm drop, eye fixation, progressive relaxation, visualization and deepening. Participants experience hypnosis both as hypnotist and subject under the supervision of a highly experienced instructor.

Hypnosis & Psychotherapy: This 2-day workshop focuses on the application of hypnotic techniques to the treatment of psychological problems both in terms of symptom removal (e.g. nail biting, smoking) and insight-oriented therapies. Age regression, dream work, recovery of repressed memories and other techniques are taught.

Hypnotherapy of Medical Conditions: This 1-day workshop is devoted to the application of hypnotic techniques to such medical problems as pain control, symptom relief, weight management and healing. Psychoneuroimmunology and mind-body healing are discussed. Special techniques are demonstrated.

Hypnotherapy of Children: The focus of this 1-day workshop is on the use of special techniques for children in psychotherapy and in the treatment of such common childhood problems as enuresis, school phobia, nightmares, test anxiety, etc.

Hypnosis and Human Sexuality: This 1-day workshop addresses the use of hypnosis in such problems as erectile dysfunction, inadequate sexual response, premature ejaculation, vaginismus, sexual identity, sexual preferences, sexual orientation and sexual mores.

Hypnotherapy of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder: This 1-day workshop is devoted to the treatment of such traumatic experiences as physical assault, military combat, life-threatening accidents, rape, etc.

Hypnosis and the Unconscious: This 1-day workshop examines ways to use hypnosis as an effective means to explore the unconscious.

Forensic Hypnosis: This 1-day workshop deals with the application of hypnosis to matters involving the law. Participants learn how to help witnesses and/or victims to improve their recall of events without  biasing results.

The institute also serves as a clearinghouse for the field. We provide information on clinical hypnosis to the public, referral services and a speakers’ bureau for professional and lay organizations. The field of hypnotherapy is constantly changing. New practices, methods and studies are adding to the understanding and application of this practice. The institute is dedicated to keeping professionals and the public informed and up-to-date.

The workshops teach advanced aspects of the application of hypnosis in treating specific psychological and medical conditions.
