EP17 Clinical Demonstration with Discussant 07 - The Foreground-Background Process - Robert Dilts, BA and Michael Yapko, PhD


Credit Available - See Credits tab below.




Description

Description:

Based on the meticulous work of Ivan Pavlov, the Foreground-Background process involves using the "foreground" and "background" of perception with respect to a problem situation and a resource experience to create a quick and seemingly “magical” change. Usually, what is foregrounded in the experience of a problem or resource is quite different. The background of the two experiences, however, often shares many features which can be used to create bridge to resourceful experiences, leading to a transformation of the problem experience that is gentle, unconscious and effortless.

Educational Objectives:

  1. Describe the relationship between perceptual foreground and background.
  2. Demonstrate how common background perceptions can be used to transfer needed resources into a problematic experience.
