Being diagnosed with cancer is an extremely upsetting and often traumatic experience. The frightful aftermath of a cancer diagnosis is typically fraught with uncertainty. The side effects of most cancer treatments are often disruptive, and when cancer is metastatic, the physical symptoms are typically painful and unpredictable. Additionally, a cancer diagnosis and the course of cancer treatment are usually associated with marked emotional distress. In this workshop, you will learn how hypnosis can help cancer patients cope at every step of their cancer journey. You will learn a conceptual framework for employing hypnosis to relieve cancer pain, anxiety about dying, and secondary depression. You will also learn about hypnotic techniques for alleviating treatment-related side effects.

• Explain how hypnosis enhances the effectiveness of medical treatments for cancer.
• Explain how hypnosis can prevent or ameliorate depression in cancer patients.
