Dr. Tramontana presented a CEU workshop at the annual meeting of the American Society for Clinical Hypnosis (ASCH) in Charlotte, NC, in March, 2012.
The workshop was titled "Hypnosis and Self-hypnosis Training to Enhance Peak Performance in Sports and in Life." Mitch Smith, LCSW, a long time ASCH faculty member in the area of sports hypnosis was co-presenter.
The goal of that Advanced Workshop was to train a small group of therapists already using sports hypnosis to employ new scripts and strategies, and a much larger group of therapists using hypnosis for clinical issues, important for interested in expanding their practice to working with athletes.
Dr. Tramontana is currently the Vice President of the New Orleans Society of Clinical Hypnosis and secures presenters for the quarterly dinner meetings. Tramontana explained to the Times that Dr. Joel Marcus from Oschner Hospital will be presenting in the next few months to the group on the topic of his use of hypnosis for easing the pain and decreasing eating problems with cancer patients.
The group will also be hosting a presentation by Thay Dao Quang, a Buddhist Monk from the Tam Boa Temple in Baton Rouge, Dr. Tramontana told the Times.
Dr. Tramontana currently serves as Director in the state psychological association.
