Relaxation-Based Pain Relief Certification Workshop Part I (You must have pre- registered to attend) (Note: The NBCC approves this activity for CE clock hours, NBCC approval number SP-3046). Time: 9:00AM Location: Elliot Presenter(s): Fredric Mau, D.Min., M.A., M.Div., LPCS, NCC, DCC

Program description: This is part I of the Certification Workshop for Relaxation Based Pain Relief. You must be registered to attend this training. Pain relief medications provide tremendous benefits for patients and clients in clinical care. However, the huge societal problems we face with opioid addiction, as well as other considerations including drug contraindications and allergic reactions, demonstrate the obvious need for pain relief without drugs. Empirical neuroimaging support for relaxation-based relief processes is extremely strong. Competent professional use of these techniques in clinical settings requires a solid understanding of how these processes operate and the development of the skill necessary for real-world use with clients. Certification in Relaxation-Based Pain Relief provides this knowledge and practical skills for licensed mental health and medical practitioners.

At the conclusion of this session, participants will be able to:

1. Describe the neurological basis for Relaxation-Based Pain Relief. 2. Demonstrate RBPR skills during the workshop, and will be able to incorporate these processes in appropriate clinical settings. 3. Describe ethical and diagnostic considerations in utilizing RBPR.

Fredric Mau, D.Min., M.A., M.Div., LPCS, NCC, DCC, is a popular keynote speaker and international speaker on hypnosis and counseling. He was awarded the Hypnotism Research Award in 2016 by the National Guild of Hypnotists and the HypnoScience Award in 2013 by the International Hypnosekongress in Zurich, Switzerland. He is the author of three books and developer of Relaxation-Based Pain Relief.

However, the huge societal problems we face with opioid addiction, as well as other considerations including drug contraindications and allergic reactions, demonstrate the obvious need for pain relief without drugs. Empirical neuroimaging support for relaxation-based relief processes is extremely strong. Competent professional use of these techniques in clinical settings requires a solid understanding of how these processes operate and the development of the skill necessary for real-world use with clients. Certification in Relaxation-Based Pain Relief provides this knowledge and practical skills for licensed mental health and medical practitioners. At the conclusion of this session, participants will be able to: 1. Describe the neurological basis for Relaxation-Based Pain Relief. 2. Demonstrate RBPR skills during the workshop, and will be able to incorporate these processes in appropriate clinical settings. 3. Describe ethical and diagnostic considerations in utilizing RBPR.
