Half day workshop and professional training presented by David Kohlhagen at the 2010 Annual Conference of the Missouri Mental Health Counselors Association at Lake of the Ozarks in Osage Beach, Missouri on October 29, 2010.

Title: Force of Habit, Hypnotic Language, and the Rapid Resolution of PTSD Symptoms

Program Description:
In today's world of pan-international crisis and instant global communication, a case can be made that we have all been traumatized to one degree or another. PTSD is a discrete mental disorder classification, and yet it is possible that virtually all of our clients' non-organic mental and emotional problems are rooted in beliefs around traumatic life experiences. The often long lasting effects of trauma can be psychological, emotional, physical, and medical, and they can be very resistant to efforts to alleviate them. And yet trauma is as much a matter of perception as anything else in the mind is.

This presentation is designed to show how symptoms of PTSD can be rapidly and permanently cleared, often in the course of a single session. It will explain how a conversation employing the careful use of language can cause brain and mind changes that improve our clients' physical and psychological condition. The more effective the language and semantics, the more beneficial and painless the treatment can be, regardless of treatment modality, and regardless of whether you are a therapist, nurse, physician, energy healer, dentist, or chiropractor.

Program objectives:
1. Participants will gain an understanding of the language, processes, and value of hypnosis. They will know how it is different from other types of consciousness, how it is similar to and different from other modalities of treatment, and how it can be applied in treatment contexts that are not technically considered to be hypnosis. Participants will learn how Force of Habit was developed.

2. Participants will know the diagnostic criteria for PTSD, and they will understand the mind/brain/body implications of the disorder.

3. Participants will learn a number of ways in which mind and brain processes can be triggered by therapeutic conversations to cause improvement in their clients' and patients' psychological and physical condition.

4. Participants will gain an understanding of how psychological, emotional, and physiological symptoms of PTSD can be rapidly alleviated during a therapeutic conversation.
