M3: We Can Live and Die Healed: Hypnosis for Palliation of Symptoms in Advanced Illness (5.25 CE/CME) (M) Sylvain Néron, PhD; Daniel Handel, MD; Maria Paola Brugnoli, MD; and Michael Flynn, PhD This workshop is most appropriate for participants who work in behavioral/mental health and medicine who may or may not work with medical/surgical patients and are at least 2 years post basic course who seek a balance of theory and experiential exercises. Appropriate for Physicians and Nurses also. This workshop requires advanced level of integration of hypnosis into practice. Palliative care has historically embraced integrated approaches in the care of patients with advanced illness expanding beyond the current biological perspective to include the concept of energy and its relationship to health. When both care-givers and care-receivers embrace the process utilizing hypnosis creatively to fi nd what heals the mind, the body, and the soul, integration becomes harmony and freedom allowing the suff erer to die healed. The goal of this clinically-oriented workshop is to advance the skills and confi dence of those practitioners who are interested in learning rapid hypnotic techniques for managing physical symptoms and hypnotic techniques for assisting patients with the important work of spiritual, existential, and interpersonal issues experienced by those of us with incurable illness. This workshop will describe the current state of integrating hypnotic suggestion in the management of distressing symptoms such as pain, nausea, insomnia, and anxiety that are commonly encountered by this population. This case-based workshop will focus extensively on practical techniques that can be eff ectively used in brief work, particularly in medical settings, in diff erent clinical settings, and at diff erent endpoints of the illness trajectory. Upon completing this workshop, the participant should be able to: 1. Cite three rapid induction or deepening hypnotic techniques that enhance ideomotor or ideosensory experience in order to rapidly enhance the modulation of unpleasant physical symptoms; 2. Identify therapeutic metaphors and suggestions involved in improving self-regulation in the context of bedside intervention and in busy clinics; and 3. Understand and cite two techniques that can be used to deal with existential suff ering that is commonly encountered by people with incurable or terminal illness.
