The Biofeedback Society of Florida (BSF) announces its end of summer workshop, Neuroscience in clinical practice: Clinical hypnosis, mindfulness meditation, and neuromodulation. BSF is honored to feature internationally renowned experts on the neuroscientific foundations for hypnosis, mindfulness, and neuromodulation, our own Dr. Louis Damis and colleague, Dr. Akira Otani presenting at this in-person CE event. Please join us for what promises to be a weekend of exceptional learning and collegial networking.

Workshop Description

Clinical hypnosis and mindfulness meditation have become established treatments for a wide range of medical and psychological disorders. Like clinical hypnosis, mindfulness meditation is built on the biopsychosocial model and is empirically validated. In this timely intermediate level workshop, the participants will acquire the latest neuroscientific information underlying hypnosis and mindfulness. They will learn the openmonitor (vipassana) and focused-attention (samatha) mindfulness techniques. In addition, autogenic training, Tibetan Tonglen, and Brahmaviharas (Buddhist compassion techniques) will be reviewed. The workshop then introduces the role of implicit memory in clinical hypnosis and Normative Implicit Clinical Hypnosis. Application of this approach to non-hypnotic methods for neuroception of safety and ventral-vagal activation foundational to improvements in physical and mental health will be reviewed. Finally, neuromodulation techniques (tACS, tDCS, tACS Pink & Brown Noise, pEMF, and PBM) will be reviewed, and the impact of these interventions on changes in QEEG will be demonstrated. Prior training in clinical hypnosis is not a requirement.

The meeting takes place on August 10 - 11, 2024 at The Florida Hotel & Conference Center in Orlando. The hotel is offering as special discounted room rate for BSF workshop participants of $135/night (plus taxes and fees) for registrations made by July 8, 2024 To reserve your room at the BSF rate, go directly to THE FLORIDA HOTEL RESERVATION PAGE HERE.

For those psychologists using the modalities discussed in this workshop who are interested in efficacy, science and latest clinical applications. (1) This program presents research relevant to psychological practice, education and science; (2) it is our intention to host an offering to help psychologists to keep up with the most current scientific evidence regarding assessment, intervention, and education; and (3) we believe that this program would allow psychologists to increase competencies in order to improve services to patients.
