Training both in hypnosis and mind/body strategies together have been the tools that have served me most effectively in my 38year career in working with the agony of infertility. But as a generalist, these tools have proved invaluable to me in working with any adversity where intense stress has become all consuming. You will learn how to use three creative hypnotic techniques: 1) ?The Labyrinth?, 2) ?The Protective Egg? and 3) how to guide a ?Fantastic Voyage? inside the body for relief from stress. Throughout, emphasis will be put on the power of the breath as a built-in tranquilizer. These methods will serve those of your patients who are vulnerable to believing that traumas big and small are insurmountable obstacles. Instead, they can build self-awareness, confidence, empowerment and resiliency in the face of emotional turmoil with these surefire, easy to learn, effective methods to neutralize the inevitable stress of life. This workshop will be a boon to your practice and your patients who are suffering.

The attendees will leave the session prepared to work hypnotically in novel ways with women, men, couples and groups so that frenzy in the face of adversity can be tamed. Intense stress can send the mind into the ionosphere, as the body walks the planet. The separation of mind from body only contributes to and ratchets up the stress. Hypnosis in general, and the innovative hypnotic techniques presented in this workshop in particular, are powerful in their ability to guide the mind back into the body for unity resulting in stress reduction. The combination of hypnotic tools with mind/body awareness can be the charm when other approaches fail to break into the spasm of stress. These practical shortcuts to stress reduction are easy to learn and therefore easy to teach. These novel approaches will create intrigue, which is known to facilitate the impact of hypnosis. Attendees will learn in this experiential workshop how powerful these strategies are as distractions from the demands of stress and how they can reorient their patients into a mind/set of self-care. These techniques have broad application for reversing the mental and physical anguish of stress.
