Workshop med David Patterson: “Acute and Chronic Pain Management Using Hypnosis”

Tid:
26. og 27. mars 2026

Kl 08:30 - 15:30, Oppmøte kl 08:00 for registrering

Description and Schedule:

This two-day workshop will focus on the use of hypnosis for acute pain and procedures (e.g., dentistry, burn care, surgery, labor and delivery, emergency room and intensive care unit) on Day 1. On Day 2 we will focus on managing chronic pain and the use of hypnosis to enhance psychotherapy. This workshop will be based on Patterson and Medoza’s APA book entitled Clinical Hypnosis for Pain Control (2nd ed). The format of the workshop will be to cycle through theory and science, demonstrations of hypnosis and then dyad practice between participants. We will make this applicable to pain control and management but will also do growth oriented experiential work (i.e., using goals that are relevant to participants as well addressing physical pain).
