Awakening Positive Emotional States
Copyright :
Even when clients are motivated, breaking unhealthy habits can be dauntingly difficult. Well thought out behavioral plans and the conscious desire to change is often not enough. For successful and long-term change to occur, therapists have to address the unconscious processes that create, maintain and reinforce negative habits in the first place. In this workshop, you’ll learn why clinical hypnosis can enhance treatment outcomes by as much as 70 percent, eradicating stubborn habits on the subconscious level. Watching demonstrations and participating in group exercises, you’ll learn concrete, easy-to-use hypnosis techniques that you can use with clients—and on your own—to build healthier habits that align with deep emotional needs and values. You’ll also discover how to:
- Identify the function of a habit as well as the emotional need it’s filling
- Create subconscious cues that make healthy habits more automatic and easier to do
- Tame urges and cravings for unhealthy foods, substances, or behaviors
- Help clients develop new motivation that creates lasting change
