with-Roth
Certified Hypnotherapist, Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist
and Certified Medical Hypnotherapist
Sunday, June 29, 2008 9:30 to 5:30
At the Center for Hypnotherapy, Oakland CA

  * Come to an enlightening, educational day focusing on the uses of hypnosis and hypnotic techniques in all forms of everyday nursing practice, as well as in obstetrics, peri-operative, and pain management areas. Hypnosis is becoming more acceptable as an adjunct to nursing practice. It is a normal phenomenon that can be used to positively influence patient outcomes.

* Expand your nursing skills and learn how to use the application of medical hypnosis in the clinical setting. See demonstrations and get hands-on practice, while learning many in-depth techniques. This course is both inspiring and very practical. Help your patients and at the same time learn techniques to help yourself.

* In 1958 the American Medical Association endorsed hypnosis and hypnotherapy as a legitimate treatment tool for pain, stress and relaxation management, childbirth, preparing for surgery, as well as overcoming fears of medical, dental and other hospital procedures. You can immediately take these skills that you will be learning and apply them in your nursing practice. No need to use the term "hypnosis."  You can call it deep relaxation or guided imagery.

USES OF MEDICAL HYPNOSIS

  • Pain Management Hypnosis & Self-Hypnosis are endorsed by the National Institutes of Health and the Joint Commission Association for Health Care Organizations (JCAHO) as an adjunctive coping skill in the treatment of chronic and cancer pain.

  • Stress Management. On an average workday, an estimated one million workers do not make it to work due to stress. Hypnosis and self-hypnosis are the best avenues for dealing with stress. Endorsed by the National Institutes of Health.

  • Relaxed Childbirth as seen on Dateline. Studies show a decrease in hospitalization for Pregnancy Induced Hypertension by 50%. Labor shortened by 2-4 hours. Decreases c-sections from 30% (national average) to less than 5%.

  • Surgery Preparation. Blue Shield of California did studies showing quicker recovery, less nausea and vomiting, and less pain when using hypnotic techniques 2-3 weeks prior to surgery.

  • Cancer Research has shown that hypnosis helps manage cancer pain and is effective in increasing the immune system while decreasing the uncomfortable side effects of radiation and chemotherapy.
And More!

What you will learn:

1. The history of medical uses of hypnosis and current research

2. The effects of cell memory on pain, wellness, and healing in all areas of nursing, including obstetrics, pediatrics, and pain management.

3. Understand what the subconscious mind is, and its relationship to the autonomic nervous system and general well being.

4. Learn how to integrate hypnosis into every aspect of healthcare. You will learn all the different ways to relax your patients for pain management, emotional upset, and general healing. Learn EFT, a powerful healing energy tapping technique, rapid inductions and progressive relaxation.
.
5. You will learn deep relaxation techniques for pain management, verbal first aid, dressing changes, burn patients, catheter insertion, intravenous insertion and many other health issues including diabetic compliance. Learn about pre- and post- operative suggestions of guided imagery.

6. You will learn how positive suggestions can lessen the incidence of post-op nausea, vomiting, and pain to enhance patient satisfaction. How to use hypnosis for pregnancy and delivery.

7. PRACTICE!  PRACTICE!  PRACTICE!
In this workshop, you will have an opportunity to practice what you have learned so that you will leave feeling that you can put to work all that you have learned.

8. Receive informative handouts and see simulated demonstrations.

About Medical Hypnosis and the AMA

     In 1958, the American Medical Association accepted Hypnosis as an adjunct to medical practice. According to the AMA, within the decade virtually every outpatient surgery unit and clinic will be utilizing hypnosis. More than ever before, people are demanding alternatives to traditional medicine.

     Alternative therapies are having an incredible impact on people?s perception of health. A 1998 survey by Stanford University reported that 69% of all Americans use some form of complimentary or alternative medicine. It is estimated they spend almost $28 billion a year on them - more than they spend out of pocket for conventional medicine. An American Medical Association study that same year showed U.S. adults made over 600 million visits to alternative practitioners - exceeding the number of visits made to primary care physicians. The medical community is now taking notice.
