Anyone with experience in the field of hypnotism will from time-to-time come across those clients who simply do not respond to even the most creative methods. Some people truly want help, yet their inner protective mechanisms are so elaborate that change often appears nearly impossible. Many people will even come in for hypnosis claiming that they cannot be hypnotized. This presentation we will explore a great variety of approaches to breakthrough with even the most difficult cases. This presentation includes traditional and non-traditional methods to dissolve non-responsiveness and multiple ways to increase the probabilities of client success. Remember, "There are no poor clients, only poorly trained hypnotherapists." Matthew Brownstein, CHt is director of the Florida Institute of Hypnotherapy in Gainesville, Florida.

They have unique ways of communicating and interacting with the world, and it varies throughout childhood. They interpret the world naively via a limited accumulation of vocabulary and concrete logic. This leads them to relate to you in ways that seemingly make no sense. Your adult responsibility is to gently probe toward a more meaningful understanding. Learn about children's unique traits and how to respond to them appropriately. Learn how to help adult clients when they abreact to childhood experiences. Steve Stork holds an accredited Doctorate in Education from Auburn University and is an early childhood specialist. He has spent 30 years teaching children and training teachers to teach children. He also coached women's competitive gymnastics for 20 of those years.

As editor of Teaching Elementary Physical Education, he has written extensively on the unique nature of children. Presentation Understanding Illness and Stress Connection Roxanne Louise Illness results when the body is being asked to deal with more than it can handle. Stress can come from unhappy things or happy ones (a new home, job or relationship), or totally emotionally neutral things (air, water, electro-magnetic fields). It can come from the thoughts, emotions or energy fields of other people, and having too much or too little of something (noise, people, work, rest, play). A stressor is anything that demands energy of you. There needs to be sufficient reserves to handle it all or breakdown occurs. Where the body breaks down is neither random nor chosen just from biological weaknesses. Your fears, unhealed issues, mental/emotional and life-style habits of both you and your ancestors, plus family acceptance or non-acceptance of certain conditions, all influence where the body takes the hit. How you handle stress, where your body stores stress, and how you nurture yourself or not, influence the outcome. Here is what I learned from working with clients, observing others, reading extensively on the mind-body relationship, and from almost dying myself. 10:00a.m. - 5:30p.m. SPECIAL FULL DAY FRIDAY, MAY 2 WORKSHOP $60 (two workshop tickets) Guided Imagery Out in the World Judith Simon Prager, PhD Guided Imagery is a tool for healing, in the hospital, for surgery, for emergencies, for chemotherapy, for prenatal care; in schools and organizations for meditation; and in your office for healing.
