Many conditions our patients present with have a complex aetiology, with biopsychosocial elements. Hypnosis is ideally placed to help with much of these, with recognised effects on mood, inflammatory response and immune functioning.
This one day online training, with presentations, demonstrations and tutorial small group practice, will begin to equip you with skills that you can use when working with IBS, FND, tinnitus, migraine and many other conditions. 
Cases will be used throughout to demonstrate ways of working with functional disorders
There will be opportunities to practice (in breakout rooms) some of the techniques demonstrated.

It is essential for attendees to have some prior knowledge of clinical hypnosis.
Delegates should have completed the Adjunctive Clinical Hypnosis: Essential Skills for Healthcare Professionals or the BSCAH Module 1 or equivalent.
This knowledge will be required in order to achieve the learning outcomes for these more specialised modules.
