Event Description Jean Fain, MSW, LICSW, instructor
When it comes to weight loss, many hypnotherapists know that hypnosis and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) are a winning combination. But most don’t think to add self-compassion and mindfulness practices into the therapeutic mix. Why would they? Researchers interested in eating issues have only recently turned a scientific eye on these ancient attention-focusing practices. Plus, most clinician’s haven’t had a chance to survey the scientific literature, let alone translate the exciting findings on loving-kindness and mindful-eating practices into trance work. This workshop offers participants the chance to survey the research on hypnosis, self-compassion and mindfulness, and then learn a best-of-all-worlds’ approach to everyday eating issues, from yo-yo dieting to compulsive overeating. Based on Jean Fain’s upcoming book, “The Self-Compassion Diet”, the workshop will not only present this multi-modal weight-loss approach, it’ll make the case for teaching clients with the range of eating issues how to cultivate self-compassion. Depending on the group’s preference, time will be allotted for general discussion, case presentations/consultations and/or a group trance experience.
Upon completion of the program the student will be able to:
- Make the case for teaching clients with eating issues how to cultivate self-compassion
- Cite the best hypnotic weight-loss studies as well as other key research on eating issues
- Translate tried-and-true self-compassion/mindfulness practices into hypnotic trances
Program Code: HP42 2 CE Credits Location: at MSPP, West Roxbury/Boston
