February 2026 AHA Conference
Hope and Hypnosis: Working with Clients Who Feel Hopeless
Presented By: Carol Albro, CHt
Saturday, February 28, 2026 - Starts at 10:00 AM (Pacific Time)
Join HMI Grad, Carol Albro, CHt, in this enlightening and useful presentation. Clients who appear hopeless or cynical are often protecting themselves, not resisting change. Cynicism develops after repeated disappointment and functions as a subconscious safety strategy.
Hypnosis works effectively here because it does not require belief or forced positivity. Instead, it allows the nervous system to soften, reducing emotional bracing. By reframing hope as a brief state of openness rather than an outcome, hypnotherapists can support safety, permission, and gentle re-engagement without pressure.
In this presentation, you’ll receive tools and hypnotic suggestions for working with these clients.
Journaling to Deepen the Self
Presented By: Terry Marks-Tarlow, PhD
Saturday, February 28, 2026 - Starts at 11:15 AM (Pacific Time)
Journaling is a powerful companion to hypnotherapy. This ritualized practice expands attention, self-relationship, and an inside-out orientation, conditions necessary for deeper hypnotic work.
AOS Professor, Terry Marks-Tarlow, PhD, will explore how journaling deepens and leverages therapeutic insight. Dream journaling, intuitive writing, and symbolic exploration help surface subconscious material, strengthen right-brain access, and gently introduce clients to archetypal, somatic, and shadow-oriented work without overwhelm.
Journaling helps clients to integrate, offering a living record of growth while supporting self-compassion through observer awareness. Personal rituals, such as gratitude, sustain insight and transformation long after the session ends.
The Exhausted Empath
Presented By: Catherine Diebold, CHt
Saturday, February 28, 2026 - Starts at 12:30 PM (Pacific Time)
Do you feel drained after a day of sessions, struggle with chronic hyper-suggestibility, or get easily overwhelmed? You may be unconsciously taking on other peoples’ energy.
In this presentation with HMI graduate, Catherine Diebold (Scenario), CHt, learn how to go from *exhausted* to *empowered* with practical tools for grounding, clearing, and shielding. Working from a clear energetic space ensures that we can be healthfully present with our clients, better connect with our intuitive selves, and leave behind the drain and overwhelm.
Scenario, CHt of Fathom Hypnosis practices professionally as a hypnotherapist, psychic, and spirit level energy worker. They specialize in helping highly sensitive people develop their intuitive abilities from an energetically safe, grounded, and protected space.
