Description:

Treating anxiety with hypnosis often focuses on relaxation and calmness; and while physiological regulation is an important anxiety-managing skill, hypnotic interventions with anxious clients offer rich opportunities to shift the relationship and responses people have to anxiety and worry. Hypnosis can introduce important cognitive skills that interrupt the process of worry and anxiety while creating an experience of malleability.

Educational Objectives:

1. Identify the cognitive patterns that can be interrupted hypnotically.
2. Give an example of a post-hypnotic suggestion that supports a different response to anxiety symptoms.
