Building Relationships, Enhancing Quality of Life, and Empowering Cancer Patients with Self-Hypnosis Groups

After this workshop participants will have a basic knowledge of structuring psychoeducational groups to develop supportive relationships while teaching self-hypnosis skills. Participants will leave with many specific techniques and suggestions that they can take back to their office and immediately utilize with cancer patients to help enhance the patients quality of life. Additionally, participants will be able to teach patients a variety of approaches to self-hypnosis. This tool is empowering for cancer patients who often find themselves in overwhelming situations and may at times feel helpless. Participants will also have an outline for offering selfhypnosis training to cancer patients in a group format.
