Virginia Beach, VA – November 16, 2010 – Hypnotists of the Virginia Veterans Hypnosis Project gathered on November 13th and 14th, 2010 at the Virginia Beach, Virginia Oceanfront to discuss hypnosis methods and techniques that would benefit military veterans who are struggling with combat operational stress.
“The goal is to reach out to the veterans who cannot talk about their symptoms,” said Andrew Leon, chairman of the Virginia Veterans Hypnosis Project.
One of several local speakers at the meeting was Mary von Posch, owner of Hypnosis Center of Virginia. Von Posch is a certified hypnotherapist and instructor of hypnosis in Virginia. She spoke on the topic of Mindfulness and how these techniques can be incorporated into hypnosis sessions for returning combat veterans to help them live more fully in the present, rather than focusing on the past. This process helps them take back control of their thoughts. Additional hypnosis techniques may also help veterans reduce overall negative feelings related to their experiences in combat.
The members of the Virginia Hypnosis Veterans Project continue to meet periodically to formulate their standards of practice guidelines for working with veterans who are experiencing combat operational stress.
