Gentle Protocols for Rewiring the Brain

Courtney Armstrong

Parts 1 & 2

Hypnosis is making a comeback as research demonstrates its effectiveness in relieving anxiety, resolving traumatic memories, and reducing chronic pain. Find out why hypnosis is an effective tool for influencing subcortical areas of the brain, and learn the art of communicating with the subconscious using metaphor, multisensory language, and techniques that engage your client’s curiosity and imagination. You may even experience your own transformative trance with live demonstrations and experiential activities. You’ll discover how to:

• Safely guide your clients into hypnotic states, effectively frame suggestions, and activate innate healing responses
• Provide clients with self-hypnosis techniques they can use to evoke self-compassion and stop self-defeating behaviors
• Craft direct and indirect suggestions for relieving anxiety, pain, and depression
• Resolve traumatic memories safely, using a simple five-step protocol that accesses clients’ strengths and leaves them feeling empowered, resilient, and uplifted
