We have all heard so much from many sources about the potential and power of the mind and about the success of hypnosis in working with the mind, especially our unconscious mind. Validation through scientific experiments has led to clinical hypnotherapy being recognized as an independent, effective, evidence based treatment modality by the WHO, the British and American Medical Associations and the American Psychological Association. Books that speak of the power of the unconscious mind and the unlimited potential of the unconscious can now be seen more commonly at book stores these days. Hypnotherapy has currently evolved as an effective therapy and self enhancement skill. All this makes us curious about hypnotherapy and its applications in counseling and psychotherapy. Unfortunately, teaching hypnosis is still in infancy today. We do not have qualified professionals who offer training and teach hypnosis in a systematic way. Also many of the courses currently available are not authentic, updated or based on current clinical research. This workshop includes history of hypnosis and its contemporary relevance, hypnotic phenomena, theorizing hypnosis, hypnotisability clinical research, mind-body interaction, meditation and hypnosis, cognitive behavioral hypnosis. This workshop is open for practitioners of psychotherapy, counseling, psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, psychiatric social workers, psychiatric nurses and students of mental health. This one-day intensive workshop equips you to apply hypnosis on self and also to initiate hetero hypnotic process. This is a basic course which will sensitize you to the process of hypnotherapy.
