    Clinical Hypnosis for the Fear of Flying

    Registration is now open for this event

    In this one-day workshop, participants will discover how to use Hypnosis to address the Fear of Flying and flight anxiety.   

    An estimated 10-50% of the general population in industrialized nations experience a fear of flying, so chances are likely that if you work with people, you work with someone who has flight anxiety and should know about the prevalence, signs, assessment procedures, and treatment approaches for flight anxiety. 

    In this workshop Dr. Nishi-Strattner will cover the anatomy of an airplane trip, some basic aerodynamic concepts, and several interesting facts about air travel.  We will explore various treatment approaches and treatment programs for those patients (or clients) who suffer from flight anxiety.  Hypnotic techniques for use with fearful flyers will be presented, followed by demonstrations of various aspects of a clinical hypnosis approach to fear of flying.  Participants will have multiple opportunities to practice the interviewing skills, psychoeducation concepts, and hypnotic techniques that can be woven into a comprehensive treatment approach to flight anxiety. 

    Schedule:
    The training runs from 9am to 4:30 pm Pacific Time. Lunch is on your own from 12.00-1.00 pm Pacific time so please plan accordingly.   Nishi-Strattner_ timed agenda.v4.pdf

    Hypnosis: Clinical hypnosis is client centered, cost effective, appropriate for all ages, diverse healthcare disciplines, and  incorporates the science of neurobiology and brain plasticity. Hypnosis allows for more effective utilization of the client’s or patients innate resources and enhances a range of communication skills that facilitate reaching therapeutic goals.  Suggestion is an inevitable part of any treatment.  In learning hypnosis one is better able to understand current uses of language in treatment and how to increase and diversify the range of skills in suggesting therapeutic possibilities.
