MEETING: Sunday, January 10, 2010

Time: 10.00 am to 1.00 pm (see schedule below)
3 CE Credits for Psychologists and ASCH Certification/Re-certification

ROXBOROUGH MEMORIAL HOSPITAL (RMH), WOLCOFF AUDITORIUM
5800 Ridge Avenue, Philadelphia, PA

Workshop Description:

Dreams have long been fertile soil for exploration in psychodynamic therapies. Hypnosis can provide clinicians with potent strategies for taking these explorations even deeper, and even further. And just as importantly, hypnosis can provide us with tools for using dreams as a base for facilitating self empowerment, accessing resources, and operationalizing change.

In this workshop, we will look at new and intriguing ways for using dream work to identify and work with split off self states, uncover core conflicts and early traumas, and identify unconscious intrapsychic communication processes. We will learn hypnotic techniques to help patients access unrecognized and underutilized resources, identify new problem solving strategies from their dream work and experiment with changing dream experience.

This workshop will be both experiential and didactic.

Learning Objectives: Upon completion of the program, participants will be able to:

describe two hypnotic strategies for inducing and exploring dreams.
discuss how to utilize hypnosis to identify and work with split off self states in dreams.
describe two hypnotic strategies for using dreams to access hidden resources.
discuss a hypnotic technique for using dreams to identify problem solving strategies.
