This workshop takes a hypnotherapy approach to helping clients manage panic attacks and will present a therapy plan involving the writing and delivery of hypnotic scripts. The workshop is therefore designed for delegates who have training in hypnotherapy.

This workshop takes a cognitive approach to hypnotherapy, where models and evidence of how best to work with panic are presented.

Approach:

The course will present a hypnotherapy model, so is aimed at hypnotherapists. It will draw on best research in relation to how experience of panic generates and what methods are best for the client to learn to overcome these.
