Although mindfulness practice has become all the rage among therapists these days, some anxious, depressed, distracted, or volatile clients may lack sufficient skills at self-regulation to actually do it. Hypnosis, guided imagery, visualizations, and other focusing techniques have been used successfully for decades to calm, soothe, and ground clients, enhancing their ability to "take in" various clinical approaches. In this workshop, we'll deconstruct the subtle differences between these different focusing strategies to identify their therapeutically relevant components, and discuss the different ways they organize inner emotional and cognitive experience. You'll learn how to construct meaningful interventions by integrating these various methods in innovative ways to improve clients' emotional self-regulation, clinical responsiveness, and self-efficacy. We'll also explore the nature of suggestion, information processing, and the therapeutic use of dissociation and association in treatment.
