AHA SYMPOSIUM 2025 SPEAKER SPOTLIGHT
Sadhna Virmani Makhija
TOPIC : UNLOCKING THE POTENTIAL - HOW HYPNOSIS AMPLIFIES PSYCHOTHERAPIES IMPACT.
This presentation explores how hypnosis can significantly enhance the effectiveness of psychotherapy by accelerating therapeutic change and deepening emotional processing. Drawing from both neuroscience and clinical practice, the session will outline why hypnotherapy often produces more rapid and lasting results than traditional talk therapy alone.
As a clinical therapist with extensive experience in integrative modalities—including Clinical Hypnotherapy, DBT, and Gestalt—I have observed the unique capacity of hypnosis to access the subconscious, disrupt maladaptive patterns, and facilitate profound shifts in belief systems. This presentation aims to provide both conceptual clarity and practical tools for clinicians seeking to harness this powerful modality.
Key areas of focus include:
• The neurophysiological mechanisms of the hypnotic state, particularly enhanced suggestibility and focused attention.
• How hypnosis enables access to the subconscious, promoting reprocessing of core beliefs and emotional memory.
• The therapeutic value of dissociation in safely working with trauma and emotionally charged content.
• The role of hypnosis in stimulating neuroplasticity and restructuring entrenched neural pathways.
Attendees will gain insight into the intersection of hypnosis and brain science, illustrated through current research and case-based examples. This session is designed for hypnotherapists, counsellors, and mental health practitioners aiming to deepen their understanding of hypnosis as a tool for catalyzing change in clinical settings.
EARLY BIRD PRICES AVAILABLE UNTIL 30TH JUNE 2025.
