Dr. Albert Ellis, founder of REBT and Diplomate of the American Board of Psychological Hypnosis, introduced the combination of Hypnosis and REBT in the early 1950’s. In this workshop, hallmark REBT techniques and REBT “ingredients of healthy living” will be briefly described. Major focus will be placed on methods in which hypnotherapists can modify their therapeutic language and technique to incorporate REBT concepts into clinical treatment.

1. Describe 2 hypnotic strategies to promote "anti-self-downing", "anti-other-downing", and "anti-life-downing".
