What You'll Learn
Trauma Specialization in Clinical Counselling Hypnotherapy
This NEW specialist certification includes in-depth information on skills needed to:
- Merge clinical hypnosis interventions safely within a trauma-informed psychotherapeutic framework
- Combine hypnosis with trauma interventions you are using now, such as: CBT, IFS, mindfulness, EMDR
- Practice Trance-Based Mindfulness Interventions in the context of trauma-related dissociative presentations
- Apply hypnotherapy interventions specifically tailored to the serious issues facing those with PTSD, complex and developmental trauma, and critical attachment fragmentations
- Effectively utilize trance-work for somatic-based therapy approaches, especially in the context of trauma processing and recovery
- Access a range of options for core belief practices, based on the most recent findings in heart-brain modalities
- Offer hypnosis-informed programming for pain management (and the underlying complex trauma fractures)
- Effectively intercept the Negative Self-Hypnosis trauma loop
- Provide hypnotherapy in conjunction with integrative counselling for addiction related issues, digestive health, IBS and other unconscious "alarm" signal responses (tell-tale signs of the traumatized psyche)
- Apply hypnotic protocols for anxiety/panic/OCD based on an integrative trauma healing model
- Assist clients in accessing “inner healer” resources through depth-work hypnotherapeutic interventions such as age regression, inner child work, and parts-core dialogue
- Describe and present user-friendly client tools for understanding AND CHANGING unconscious patterns related to compounded trauma responses, lifetime stressors and everyday problems
Hypnotherapy Meets Trauma Counselling
Most trauma therapists understand the importance of phased, non-linear and bottom-up interventions in the work they do with traumatized people.
For this reason, clinical best practices in trauma-informed psychotherapy MUST often go beyond the traditional cognitive-based dyadic. When the counselling framework builds in an active engagement of lower, slower brain wave activity (trance), clients are better able to engage in processing and integration work from a “whole brain” point of view.
That’s where Trauma-Focused Clinical Counselling Hypnotherapy comes in. It’s a practice model for merging evidence-based, trauma-informed psychotherapy with clinical hypnosis — in a safe and ethical manner that draws upon decades of outcome research in clinical psychology.
