Title

Mindful Hypnotherapy

GARY ELKINS, PHD, ABPP, ABPH

Wednesday, September 16, 2026.
17:00 – 20:00 CEST
Abstract
Mindful hypnotherapy is an intervention that intentionally uses hypnosis (hypnotic induction and suggestion) to integrate mindfulness for personal or therapeutic benefit. In this workshop, participants will learn about the conceptual basis and theoretical foundations of mindful hypnotherapy and hypnotically oriented interventions in psychotherapy. The workshop will review research on mindful hypnotherapy and its applications. Mindful hypnotherapy will be considered in regard to stress and anxiety management. Hypnotherapy aligns intriguingly with some aspects of mindfulness, as both practices involve focused attention, experiencing the world differently, and relaxation. The workshop will use a combination of lecture, case examples, and experiential practice to meet the learning objectives.

Learning Objectives
1. Discuss the relationship between mindfulness and hypnosis.
2. Identify 1 mindful hypnosis intervention from an eight-step mindful hypnotherapy protocol.
3. Discuss at least 1 hypnotic suggestion based upon mindful hypnotherapy concepts for anxiety and stress reduction.
