                        Title: Force of Habit, Hypnotic Language, and the Rapid Resolution of PTSD Symptoms
 
                    Program Description:
                    In today's world of pan-international crisis and instant global communication, a
                    case can be made that we have all been traumatized to one degree or another. PTSD
                    is a discrete mental disorder classification, and yet it is possible that virtually
                    all of our clients' non-organic mental and emotional problems are rooted in beliefs
                    around traumatic life experiences. The often long lasting effects of trauma can
                    be psychological, emotional, physical, and medical, and they can be very resistant
                    to efforts to alleviate them. And yet trauma is as much a matter of perception as
                    anything else in the mind is.
 
 This presentation is designed to show how symptoms of PTSD can be rapidly and permanently
                    cleared, often in the course of a single session. It will explain how a conversation
                    employing the careful use of language can cause brain and mind changes that improve
                    our clients' physical and psychological condition. The more effective the language
                    and semantics, the more beneficial and painless the treatment can be, regardless
                    of treatment modality, and regardless of whether you are a therapist, nurse, physician,
                    energy healer, dentist, or chiropractor.
 
 Program objectives:
 1. Participants will gain an understanding of the language, processes, and value
                    of hypnosis. They will know how it is different from other types of consciousness,
                    how it is similar to and different from other modalities of treatment, and how it
                    can be applied in treatment contexts that are not technically considered to be hypnosis.
                    Participants will learn how Force of Habit was developed.
 
 2. Participants will know the diagnostic criteria for PTSD, and they will understand
                    the mind/brain/body implications of the disorder.
 
 3. Participants will learn a number of ways in which mind and brain processes can
                    be triggered by therapeutic conversations to cause improvement in their clients'
                    and patients' psychological and physical condition.
 
 4. Participants will gain an understanding of how psychological, emotional, and
                    physiological symptoms of PTSD can be rapidly alleviated during a therapeutic conversation.
