INTEGRATING CBT AND HYPNOSIS INTO OUR CLINICAL WORK.
CURRENT NLP MODELS FOR DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT

 Programme         Booking form      Call for papers

Many of us with an academic or clinical interest in hypnosis have some confusion about how to relate the different models of therapy to hypnosis. It is often frustrating for those of us who are clinicians when we experience hypnosis as a powerful tool, and yet have to follow the current NICE guidelines which in turn follow the evidence base of CBT for NHS funding.    

By contrast, public interest is now moving away from CBT, and search engines are reporting that hits have become greater for NLP, even overtaking hypnosis.
 
It is proposed that our conference studies how some of the current models of NLP integrate their cognitive-behavioural base with hypnosis and a systemic approach.
 
For this, we have been able to prise out of the States Bob Bodenhamer. He is one of the leading pioneers in developing these models in relation to personality development, therapy and the pursuit of personal excellence. He has also co-authored with Michal Hall many of the teaching manuals which we use for our hypnosis courses in the Midlands. This is a rare visit from a leading world thinker and teacher in our area of interest.
 
His workshop is planned around one of his standard courses – going on from the well known NLP meta-model into the four domains of personality and cognitive and emotional programming, in other words, a current NLP understanding of how people tic. The details of the plan are open to suggestions from you – there will doubtless be lots of special areas of interest within the wide subjects of his books, and he is keen to make it a practical workshop rather than just didactic teaching.
