Reframing Tinnitus for Better Client Outcomes: A Science-Based Hypnotic Approach

Tinnitus is often treated like an unsolvable riddle—leaving clients frustrated, disempowered, and told to “just live with it.” But what if hypnotherapists could do more than just manage symptoms?

In this eye-opening and research-driven presentation, Astrid Harms challenges outdated beliefs about tinnitus and shares a groundbreaking framework that draws from neuroscience, hypnosis, and mind-body medicine. You’ll gain a deeper understanding of the real causes and psychological perpetuators of tinnitus—and how to guide clients toward meaningful relief.

You’ll learn:

The truth behind tinnitus: myths, mechanisms, and over 200 possible causes
How to reduce distress by reframing the noise and redirecting attention
The role of hypnotherapy in influencing brain plasticity and nervous system regulation
The newest science in hearing, cognitive processing, and somatic response
How to identify when to intervene, refer, wait, or collaborate with other professionals

Astrid spent a year synthesizing complex, multi-disciplinary research into a practical method that practitioners can use immediately—helping clients experience real relief, not just “cope.”

If you work with chronic conditions or want to serve clients struggling with tinnitus more effectively, this session will change how you approach this challenging issue—and what’s possible.
