Hi, All! Wow, I've been away for a while! Just this afternoon, I was chatting with my program director and the conversation turned to hoarding. Although my work is mainly in chronic pain at the…Continue

Binaural beat mindfulness

This one was intended to be an experiential introduction to binaural beats (I had given a discussion in a previous podcast) and quickly became a deep relaxation recording that a few of my chronic pain patients found valuable. Binaural Beat Mindfulness MP3 Enjoy! Tom…See More

Dr. Tom Virden replied to tc_Burt's discussion 'What physical attributes would make you wonder if the client had fallen asleep?'

Yeah, but it reall depends on the snoring...folks could snore (loudly) an still be responsive. I notice that much of the time it has to do with their breathing. If they are at least moderately heavy, have shorter necks, and tend to bow their heads…

Very cool! I use wordpress often, so this seems like a natural extension. Many thanks!

Dr. Tom Virden replied to tc_Burt's discussion 'What physical attributes would make you wonder if the client had fallen asleep?'

*grin* Yeah, I think I might want to check for a pulse. I've had a few fall asleep on me in group sessions, but I've found that unless they've been in that "apparent sleep" state for quite some time (about 30 or so minutes),…

Dr. Tom Virden replied to Kathleen Hanover's discussion 'Hypnotherapy Website Critque for Chad (Are you making the same mistakes?)'

Hmrn...I was just wondering what I would do with my website.... Currently, I'm not at a loss for clientele (underpopulated niche and a high demand). However, some of these words of wisdom is just too delicious to turn away (especially the idea…

Dr. Tom Virden replied to Michael Ellner's discussion 'HEADS UP-- Riding Waves - A Golden Opportunity for utilizing a press release -'

Yeahh, Michael! Alas, due to a scheduling conflict I missed the seminar, but am listening to the playback right now (behold, the multitasking therapist!). The templates are great, as is the information. I've recently been asked to speak to a…

Dr. Tom Virden replied to Devin Scannura's discussion 'Free advertising'

I have a few hypnosis-related recordings on my podcast that I don't mind sharing and I'd also be open to interview. I'm a psychologist who works mostly with chronic pain via my program Mind Oriented Relief and Functioning (MORF),…

Dr. Tom Virden commented on Ru'etha Dreamhealer's group 'Hypnosis Podcasters'

Okay, Tina...is there anything specific you needed (I don't have a podcasting FAQ, but I'm sure that there's one on the net)? One of my big recent problems (and the subsequent downtime in my own podcast) was the result of (drumroll)…

Dr. Tom Virden replied to Dr. Tom Virden's discussion 'Compulsive Hoarding'

Cool! Some wonderful stuff here! To sum up just a bit....we have conceptualizations of hoarding as a compulsion (akin to addiction) and grief (which really isn't mutually exclusive). Anthropomorphizing of objects appears to be fairly common…

Kathleen Hanover replied to Dr. Tom Virden's discussion 'Compulsive Hoarding'

Hi Tom, Having known several hoarders myself, what's interesting is that the objects seem to absorb the hoarder's hopes, dreams, and future. Hoarders have intricate plans for every object they own--very elaborate and wonderful fantasies…

Profile Information

Where do you live?: Phoenix

Hypnosis Experience:: Part Time Practice

What are you looking for on this site?: I am hoping to conveniently network with other hypnotherapists, discuss the latests trends and research in hypnosis and hypnotherapy, and facilitate the development of the field.

Areas of Specialty:: My clinical work has primarily been with individuals struggling with chronic pain, substance abuse, anxiety and mood disorders, and those coming to terms with challenging life experiences.

About Me:: I received my Ph.D. in Experimental Psychology at Western Michigan University and enjoyed a career as a neuroscientist in the field of behavioral neuropharmacology. I soon realized, however, that in order to create any impact in the world outside of the laboratory, I would need to work with real people and help meet the challenges that they experience through their unique lives. Returning to school, I respecialized in Clinical Psychology at the Arizona School of Professional Psychology and became a licensed psychologist in the state of Arizona. I have also completed training in Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy at the Hypnosis Motivation Institute and am a member of the Arizona Psychological Association, the Arizona Society for Professional Hypnosis, the American Association of Professional Hypnotherapists, the American Society for the Advancement of Pharmacotherapy, and the American Psychological Association.

Hobbies:: Music and martial arts.
