Program Description and Presenter
Half 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.
Dyan Haspel-Johnson, Ph.D., S.E.P., maintains licenses from the California, Colorado and Texas Boards of Psychology, is a Consultant for the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis, co-taught Clinical Hypnosis at UCLA through the Dept of Psychiatry, and is Past President of the Southern California Society for Clinical Hypnosis. She additionally co-founded the Los Angeles Erickson Institute and is a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner. Although she continues to speak on a broad range of topics to professionals, to the public, in podcasts and summits, sleep has become her particular area of expertise. This led her to become a VIP contributor to Arianna Huffington’s wellness site, www.thriveglobal.com in addition to posting regular blogs on hypnosis and sleep on her own website www.drdyan.com.
