Dan Cleary is recognized as one of the leaders in the field of hypnotic/mind-body Pain Relief. As a course director for PainWeek, a multi-disciplinary medical conference, Dan’s programs there are accepted for Continuing Medical Education units.
Take this opportunity to study with the best. He brings over 30 years experience with chronic pain in his own life to the practical approaches he teaches.
While the 'Poster Child' of this program is Pain Relief, addressing chronic conditions is really a matter of learning new and effective pathways of communication.
|
This program is unique in many ways: It is based upon Dan's book, CHANGING PAIN - Relief if Realistic, which itself is based upon Dan's personal experience of over thirty years dealing with chronic, unrelenting pain and his years of work with clients. No other instructor draws from this level of personal perspective and experience.
Dan came to hypnosis with chronic pain in 1978, as the result of a motorcycle accident in which he was partially paralyzed. Since that time he has devoted himself to developing techniques and approaches for the relief of painful chronic conditions.

We will discuss many areas of pain relief and assisting clients toward enhancing their life in many ways. One of the most important aspects that we can recall when assisting clients is that Relief is Realistic! Whatever they discover has to be portable: so they can use it at their desk, while driving or walking, talking with friends or family.
|
SOME of what we will cover follows. However, the course of this program is very like the course of your sessions with clients: We will go where we need to go and explore many areas as a group, working together. This is not about learning scripts. I trust that you could read a script without my assistance. This is more about discovering the script of the client and assisting them to notice ways of changing the parts that aren't working.
Core Understandings: What is hypnosis and how do we facilitate change?
Existing Trances: It is easier to alter an existing trance than to create a new one and replace it. This may seem counter-intuitive at first, yet when a client comes with a ‘BIG PROBLEM’ and discovers that what they have been doing actually works and with minor adjustments, will provide the desired outcome, their ‘problem’ shrinks to a more manageable proportion.
Shifting Beliefs: We all function within our belief systems. We have all had beliefs that have changed. What if... we were to accept that a belief COULD BE mistaken? Not that it IS, merely that it COULD be? How would this allow us to work with a wider range of clients?
Pain Does Not Exist! How our perceptions create reality.
Relief is Realistic: Recapturing a sense of possibility.
Secondary Gains: Throw out the old model that these are 'BAD!' Secondary gains can be good and should be accessed and utilized!
Pain Times Three: How we set up for what comes next.
Ten Percent Solution: Fulfilling, even exceeding expectations.
Habit / Expectation: Changing the cycle.
Chronic Identity: Recognizing the self and accessing skills and abilities.
Silver linings: People are very often successful at fulfilling poor choices, which means what they are doing works well. How to use perceived failure as templates for success.
Disease: Medical terminology and prognosis are for doctors, don’t buy into them. Even when accurate they are the progress of the disease or trauma rather than the person.
Inductions: What they are and how to use them.
Trance: Signs and depth of trance and what they mean toward transformation. Recognizing and utilizing trance in 'Normal' conversation. (What's Normal?)
Scripting: Telling the stories of life. Discovering the scripts of the client.
Types of Pain: Recognizing differences and similarities between acute, chronic, sudden onset and other aspects of pain.
WHAT you feel and HOW you feel about it: Using this model to create an enhanced sense of ease and comfort.
This is just the beginning. Frankly, while I have a general concept of topics and areas to discuss, who you are, the training, experience and life you have led up until this moment, is what will guide us through this program. My desire for this program is that we all learn new ways to consider old topics and discover insights and connections that surprise and inspire each of us in ways we hadn't yet considered.
"It isn't the amount of time.
It isn't the theory of psychotherapy.
It's how you reach the personality by saying the
right thing at the right time."

COMMENTS FROM STUDENTS
"This class was a revelation... each session contained ideas that had a immediate impact on the way that I practice. I remember coming away from just the second class saying to myself that it had made the entire price of admission worthwhile. Certainly there were techniques, but this is more about learning what this thing we loosely call hypnosis is all about. Going back over my notes, I find that I'm still learning from the class, and I can recognize that it's likely that the learning process will continue for a long time to come."
Robert A.
"Learning from Dan is a hypnotizing experience. He demands practice in real life situations, and moves you quickly past theory into what do you do when the client says “this”. His “wax on”, wax off” teaching style finds you participating to gain understanding. It is experiential, and never, ever, boring. I recommend you take his next class so you can add Pain Relief to your toolbox."
Alan B.
"Dear Dan:
Thank you for sharing your amazing talent in giving us another hypnosis tool. We will all be more aware when out and about. We will apply the lessons in our everyday observations and communications. To my classmates thanks for sharing your stories with me."
Nancy H.
"I can tell you that your last teleclass's were great, really opened up my eyes and heart on how to best help my clients."
Scott C.
"Dan, I loved the classes. Last night I think I spent more time in trance during the call than in a wide awake state. Very interesting. There was actually about 40 minutes of the call that I have no conscious recollection of what was said. I do remember at one point snapping up out of it and realizing "hey I'm in trance." The trance came on quite slowly, so I didn't notice it happen."
"Dan Cleary is one of the clearest and most talented hypnosis instructors that I have studied under. I have attended three seminars on Hypnosis and Pain and Dan's Changing Pain workshop is best in class."
Will W.
"Damn you’re good! I love your classes.
I came up with a name for your technique of getting people into hypno without them really knowing it. It’s called: The Dan Cleary Slide.
Even if you put out a notice you were teaching knitting by teleconference, I would sign up."
Judy C.
"You inspire me. and I think you can imagine how rare and important that is to me."
Thanks again.
Melissa T.
"Dan does more than just teaching you how to help your clients deal with symptoms. He shows you how you can help your clients get their lives back."
