Hypnosis and Sleep: How to Deliver Hypnotic Suggestions That Support Healthy Sleep
COMPLETED—Video recording will be available soon
April 25, 2025
2-hour webinar with Dyan Haspel-Johnson, Ph.D.
1:00-3:00 PM US CentralHalf of all adults experience regular sleep disturbances, with significant portions of the population suffering from chronic insomnia, according to Rand’s 2023 Global Report.
Hypnosis can be very helpful with inducing relaxation, releasing anxiety, and controlling the spinning thoughts that often accompany insomnia. However, unless we, as practitioners, understand sleep architecture and the specific components of sleep, we cannot design and deliver the unique suggestions that most effectively target sleep and wake cycles.
To fully address sleep disturbance, we must shift our perception of insomnia, cognitive fog, and fatigue as true issues with sleep per se. Instead, these symptoms should be thought of as challenges to the transitions between states of wakefulness and sleeping.
Because hypnosis is a bridge between the conscious (awake) and unconscious (sleeping) minds, it can be an extraordinary tool for impacting those transitional challenges, between states of being awake and being asleep, in a safe and profound way.
In this workshop, we will discuss the foundations of sleep in the body and brain, explore some of the architecture of sleep and hypnosis, and learn how to address sleep/wake issues using hypnotic metaphors, language, and specific suggestions.

Hypnosis and the "Subtle" Presentations of Adult Autism
September 19, 2025
1:00-4:00 PM US Central
3-hour webinar with Christine Molina, LCSW
Anita Jung, LPC-S, LPAAutistic clients commonly experience challenges in hypnosis and psychotherapy when practitioners do not understand their needs and processing style. Unfortunately, current research and knowledge on autism—and the diverse ways it manifests—has not trickled down to all helping professionals.
Many clinicians may be relying on outdated information on Autism and feel ill-equipped to recognize and adapt therapy for Autistic clients—particularly those with “subtle” presentations. This neuro-affirming training is designed to bridge this gap by providing updated information about less-obvious autism as well as practical tools and insights to help therapists support the emotional, relational and processing needs of autistic individuals. -
