American Society of Clinical Hypnosis (ASCH) Level 1 & Level 2 Workshop

American Society of Clinical Hypnosis (ASCH) Level 1 & Level 2 Workshop is organized by American Society of Clinical Hypnosis (ASCH) and will be held from Nov 13 - 16, 2025.

Description:
Our Clinical Hypnosis training program offers a progressive series of workshops designed to equip licensed health professionals with skills to incorporate clinical hypnosis into their practices. In the Level 1 workshop, participants learn the foundational principles and techniques of hypnosis, including inductions, suggestions, and therapeutic strategies, guided by experienced faculty from various health disciplines. This course blends presentations, demonstrations, and hands-on practice to provide basic skills for immediate application. Building on this foundation, the Level 2 workshop delves deeper into clinical hypnosis, expanding on “how to” by adding the “when, why, and where” for techniques, especially for specific populations and complex cases like pain and anxiety management. Advanced skills such as complex inductions and the nuanced use of suggestion language are explored with expert feedback. For those seeking continued growth, Advanced Workshops offered throughout the year cover specialized topics, including behavioral medicine and mind-body integration, enabling participants to further enhance and apply their skills in targeted areas. Each level builds confidence, competence, and the ability to provide patient-centered, integrative care.

Clinical Workshop Level 1 
The Level 1 workshop, the first part of a series of workshops in the certification program for clinical hypnosis, is intended for licensed health professionals including physicians, nurses, psychologists, dentists, counselors, social workers, and those in related fields. A diverse faculty from a range of health disciplines will teach the principles and process of hypnotic inductions, suggestions, and treatment. The workshop is a mix of didactic presentations, demonstrations, experiential exercises, and faculty-led small group practice tailored to the specific needs and learning styles of each participant. At the conclusion of the workshop participants will have been taught the basic skills required to utilize clinical hypnosis and begin to apply it to their practice. 

Advantages: 

• Rapidly establish rapport and the hypnotic relationship across developmental ages. 
• Facilitate change, ego-strengthen, and reduce impediments to change. 
• Cost-effective, collaborative, person-centered treatment. 
• Empower clients and patients to build skills for better health. 
• Learn a highly creative, broad-ranging technique for use in integrative medicine.

Clinical Workshop Level 2 
The second step in certification training is to strengthen skills, strategies, and applications of clinical hypnosis. Part one taught “how to” do clinical hypnosis, and part two builds on this skill set and refines and furthers development to add the when, why, and where to the “how-to”. 

Advantages: 

• Introduction to a wider range of topics on the utility of clinical hypnosis (e.g., Pain Management; Anxiety and Sleep Disorders; Habit Disorders). 
• Learn more techniques for the creative use of the language of suggestion to facilitate change. 
• Learn specific tools (complex inductions and intensification techniques) for specific populations (children). 
• More practice with the feedback of expert faculty.
