SP2: Clinical Hypnosis in Palliative Care: Techniques for Effectively Relieving Pain and Symptoms (3.5 CE/CME) Dan Handel, MD – co-chair; Paola Brugnoli, MD- co-chair; Michael Flynn, PhD and Sylvain Neron, PhD This workshop is most appropriate for participants who are behavioral/mental health or medical practitioners with 2-8 years of hypnosis expereince who seek mainly theory with some experiential exercises This workshop will focus on skill building for those who work with chronic and/or progressive health conditions and patients whose life feels threatened by medical conditions. The workshop will focus on practical clinical approaches and techniques with sound underpinnings based on recent advances in our understanding of pain processing. Following an introduction to the evaluation of chronic pain, a practical methodology for building clinical strategies will be introduced. Case based approaches will be discussed and through audience participation the basis for each approach will be discussed. Practical exercises will encourage participants to build rapid assessment skills while facilitating therapeutic planning strategies that utilize hypnotic language. In addition to specific skills, participants will also explore their own reactions to life-limiting illness and to developing deep and life-altering relationships with individuals whose lives are imminently threatened by illness. At the end of this workshop participants will be able to: • Effectively assess and differentiate the three major types of pain encountered in advanced illness; • Develop cogent hypnotic strategies for symptom control that reflect patient characteristics such as type of pain, setting characteristics such as degree of impairment of function and anticipated life span, that relies on and builds upon the therapeutic relationship between therapist and patient; and • Rapidly develop scripts that reflect, respect, and amplify unique aspects of the individual patient.
