Coping with Loss

Presented by Elaine Perliss

Saturday, May 10, 2008 - 9:30 A.M. to 12:30 P.M.

Every hypnotherapist and every client has experienced the pain of loss. It's an undeniable part of our existence. With the aging of the Baby Boomers and their parents, loss is certain to be a larger part of every hypnotherapist's practice in the next few years.

In addition to loss from the death of a loved one, loss can be felt in many other areas including: divorce, serious illness, job, career, moving, empty nest syndrome, failure to meet personal goals, loss of a treasured item and so much more. Please join Elaine for this invaluable and very uplifting workshop where we'll discover tools to help understand, and even several ways to celebrate, this integral part of our existence.

• Gain tools to help clients prepare for an impending loss
• Learn to recognize the symptoms of each stage of loss, including the five that are taught at HMI, as well as several more you may not know
• Discover effective tools that will help your clients move more comfortably through each stage, returning more quickly to a place of wellbeing
• Valuable handouts allow you to begin using these tools immediately
• The information you will gain in this workshop will help you feel more comfort when faced with loss, of any kind
• And much more

Elaine is a staff hypnotherapist at HMI and brings her many years of professional and personal experience to this insightful, information filled and healing workshop. She will share valuable tools that you can use with your clients, family, friends, loved ones, and yourself.

Emotional Freedom Technique

Presented by Susie Jargo

Saturday, May 10, 2008 - 1:30 P.M. to 4:30 P.M.

From Pain... To Peace

Learn how to use EFT as an extraordinary addition to your hypnotherapy practice.

Discover core reasons underlying physical and emotional pain, and learn how to clear them.

"EFT is at the forefront of the new healing movement."
- Candace Pert, PhD - author of Molecules of Emotion

Based on impressive new discoveries regarding the body's subtle energies, Emotional Freedom Technique has been very successful in treating issues such as Weight Loss, Addictive Cravings, Allergies, Trauma, Anxiety, Sadness, Physical Pain, Anger, Jealousy, Fears and Phobias, Sports Performance, Dyslexia, Headaches, Stress, and many more.

EFT works on the theory that our unresolved negative emotions are major contributors to most physical pains, disease and anxiety. And the cause of all negative emotions is a disruption in the body's energy system.

EFT is a system of gently tapping on the body's energy meridians, adding a powerful tactical and physical element, unlike any other hypnotic modality. EFT gets to the core of the problem by changing the energy behind the "thought" so that the negative emotional response collapses. In doing so, we clear the original disruption in the body's energy system, that triggered the problem.

• EFT is a simple, easy process and can be learned by anyone.
• Is an excellent modality to incorporate into your hypnotherapy practice.
• Is rapid, long lasting and gentle, and can be done anywhere.
• Works on our present lives, as well as past life issues.
• EFT is a valuable, empowering tool for you and your clients!
