Workshop Description
Many clinicians feel curious about hypnosis but are unsure how it fits within trauma therapy—or worry that it may conflict with the EMDR model. In reality, Ericksonian hypnosis and EMDR share many core principles, including attunement, utilization of client strengths, and the careful use of focused attention to support adaptive processing.
This workshop introduces clinicians to Ericksonian hypnosis and its practical integration with EMDR therapy in a way that is grounded, ethical, and immediately applicable to clinical work.
Participants will begin by exploring the history and foundations of hypnosis, including how Ericksonian hypnosis differs from traditional directive approaches. We will address common myths and misconceptions about hypnosis and introduce core Ericksonian principles such as utilization, indirect suggestion, attuned language, and the strategic use of imagery and metaphor.
The training then moves into the clinical application of hypnosis-informed strategies within the EMDR framework. Participants will explore how strategic language, creativity, imagery, and focused attention can be used to support EMDR therapy, with particular emphasis on preparation, stabilization, pacing, and ego strengthening, helping clinicians work more effectively with:
- ambivalence and blocking patterns
- protective responses and defenses
- resourcing and containment
- maintaining dual attention during trauma processing
Through demonstrations, guided exercises, and discussion, clinicians will learn how these principles can support client stabilization, engagement, and trauma processing. Participants will also have opportunities to practice skills in small groups, with guidance and support from the trainer as needed.
Intended Audience (CLICK TO EXPAND)
Master’s level social workers, counselors, marriage and family therapists, psychologists, and other licensed clinicians trained in EMDR.
Eligibility Requirements: Partial EMDR Training (CLICK TO EXPAND)
Participants must have completed at least part of an EMDRIA-approved EMDR Basic Training. This includes clinicians who have completed the instructional portion of Basic Training and are still completing their required consultation hours. While clinicians who have completed the full EMDR Basic Training and have experience using EMDR with clients will likely benefit the most from this workshop, it is also appropriate for clinicians who are still completing consultation following their training. This workshop is not an EMDR Basic Training.
Course Interaction (CLICK TO EXPAND)
This live, in-person workshop is fully interactive. Participants are encouraged to ask questions, share insights, and actively engage in instructor-led dialogue throughout the training. The workshop incorporates didactic lecture, demonstrations, large-group discussion, and experiential practice groups to support learning and skill development. Didactic instruction provides foundational knowledge, while demonstrations and small-group practice in dyads or triads model clinical application and allow participants to apply new skills in a structured and supportive environment.
