OSCH Presents: Eric B. Spiegel, Ph.D.
October 17th & 18th, 2020
8:30-3:30 Pacific Time (PT), 9:30-4:30 MT, 10:30-5:30 CT, 11:30-6:30 ET
An online distance learning Advanced Clinical Hypnosis Workshop
Healing the Wounds of Development: Attachment Theory & Hypnosis, An Integrated Approach to Psychotherapeutic Treatment
In this workshop, we will consider the role that hypnosis can play in a relationally attuned therapeutic relationship towards facilitating attachment repair in patients with developmental arrests (e.g. affect dysregulation, lack of identity formation, boundary difficulties, etc.). The relational and psychological functions of attunement, representation, and mentalization are essential components of a secure attachment experience. The presenter will review the literature and describe how hypnosis can be applied in working with each of these areas of attachment. In its’ utilization of shared attention, tone of voice, pacing, language, and imagery, clinical hypnosis as a state, relationship, and technique offers psychotherapists a way of introducing a healthy attachment experience and renewing appropriate developmental functioning in these patients. Through a mixture of didactic and experiential (demonstration, role play and small group training) approaches, participants will develop increased competency in (1) understanding how the therapeutic relationship in general, and clinical hypnosis from an attachment frame in particular, can be utilized to re-build developmental structure and re-engage reflective functioning and (2) utilizing specific applications of clinical hypnosis towards this aim.
At the end of this workshop, participants should be capable of:
- Conceptualizing and describing how a hypnotherapeutic attachment approach could be utilized for the purposes of developmental repair.
- Integrating attachment and hypnosis into the psychotherapeutic treatment of borderline and narcissistic spectrum developmental arrests.
- Articulating how the hypnotic elements of attunement, representation, mentalization can be used to facilitate developmental repair.
- Formulating and delivering 3 hypnotic suggestions which advance the attachment goals of enhancing attunement in the hypnotherapeutic relationship, developing mental representation of a secure attachment figure or ego state, and increasing the capacity for reflective awareness about mental states in developmentally arrested patients.
