HYPNO-FERTILITY & HYPNO-OBSTETRICS with Dorothee Struck 

Hypnosis is needed today more than ever in the "fertility crisis" we are facing. IVF and a whole lot of artificial reproduction techniques have evolved into a pricy industry that is looking for faults, and negatives, driving couples into the belief that they are defunct, faulty and too old... and media plays its part too. Couples; women especially need support, ease of mind that runs relentlessly over Lab results and cycle monitoring and the invitation of the mind to think differently. After all, we are mammals, geared for reproduction. Let us use Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy to reconnect them to the knowledge that they can be fertile, that´s what nature intended them to be. I will address the limitations and how Hypnotherapy can work alongside with ART (Artificial Reproduction Techniques), especially in women who are well past their 40’s birthday.   

In this class we’ll also address the good the bad the ugly of the so-called "HypnoBirthing" that in most cases does not contain any hypnosis at all. Why this is a disservice to women especially in todays technique-focused obstetrical environment with always a lawyer present alongside the Doctor. We need to put hypnosis back into HypnoBirthing and use hypnotic techniques to the benefit of the babies and mothers. I will also address postpartum depression and baby blues and how to prevent this.

WORKING WITH ADOLESCENTS with Carla Chalah

Perception is reality. How nocebo effect is hurting adolescents’ health. Rewriting and circumventing the negative impact of the nocebo effect on adolescents’ behavioral, mental, and physical health using the power of positive hypnotic suggestion and reframing with a specific focus on the impact of pandemic-related stress on teens. 

This workshop focuses on the negative impacts of stress sourced from the nocebo effect pertaining to society’s approach to dissemination of behavioral, mental, and physical health information and education, and how clinical hypnotherapy has been shown to be an effective mind–body modality for adolescents with behavioral, mental, and physical complaints.

Hypnotherapy promotes the cultivation of imagination, decreases, or eliminates undesirable symptoms, reframes limiting beliefs and negative mindset about situations and stressors, and builds positive expectations and motivation for success. It also re-enforces control over the reaction to problems/situations. It strengthens the concept/belief in the ability of the mind and body to work together to create desirable changes in behavior/outcome whilst also allowing the adolescent to gain a sense of autonomy and control. An integrative hypnotic approach increases self-esteem and competence and reduces stress, helping them manage their physical and emotional well-being. When we change how adolescents understand and view themselves, we help them actualize their potential for growth, connection, and happiness.
