Join Courtney Armstrong for this one-day training where she’ll show you how to use clinical hypnosis to help people break through stuck patterns and enhance healing from trauma, anxiety, and chronic pain.

After this training, you’ll understand why integrating hypnosis has the potential to improve your treatment outcomes by 60-70% and how you can use it to help clients repair attachment wounds, reverse destructive habits, and reconsolidate emotional memories by creating deeply felt corrective experiences that spur conscious and subconscious change.

And don’t worry--in this training, only evidence-based hypnosis strategies will be covered, so you can be sure you are offering clients the most proven interventions.

Learning Objectives:

+ Understand clinical hypnosis and its mechanisms for therapy.

+ Explore how hypnosis can aid trauma treatment, enhancing healing, and resilience.

+ Learn effective hypnosis techniques for therapeutic trance states.

Rescripting Trauma Memories with Memory Reconsolidation: Protocols for Updating Implicit Beliefs and Patterns

Live Webinar: Jun. 21, 2024 12 pm - 3 pm EDT/ 9 am - 12 pm PDT


Reprocessing traumatic memories can be a tough task, due to the stubborn persistence of painful emotions, thoughts, and patterns woven into the memory at both conscious and subconscious levels. Fortunately, neuroscience has revealed how psychotherapists can more effectively help their clients reprocess traumatic memories by harnessing the mechanisms of memory reconsolidation.

Memory reconsolidation refers to the brain's inherent ability to update a memory network with new information when the person encounters a new experience that is emotionally significant enough for the brain to change the memory’s meaning, context, and associations.

In this webinar, we will explore the phenomenon of memory reconsolidation and how psychotherapists can utilize it to create experiences that help their clients rescript trauma narratives, repair attachment wounds, and foster a positive post-trauma identity.

 

Learning Objectives:

At the end of this workshop, participants will be better able to...

+ Evaluate recent neuroscience discoveries regarding memory reconsolidation and their clinical implications for treating trauma.

+ Describe the steps of the RECON protocol, an imaginal rescripting technique to help clients reduce distress related to memories of traumatic events.

+ Describe how to integrate cognitive reframing techniques with an experiential intervention such as imagery, music, movement, and role-play to rescript the client’s trauma narrative.

+ Identify at least two ways to help clients avoid re-traumatization while reviewing traumatic memories.

+ Discuss at least two strengths and two limitations of the research on memory reconsolidation and clinical hypnosis in trauma treatment.
