Description: When clients feel stuck, sometimes insight alone is not enough. This workshop demonstrates how energy work and Ericksonian hypnosis can be combined to interrupt entrenched patterns, deepen attunement, and activate the body’s natural drive toward balance. Through live exercises, case examples, and discussion of psychoneuroimmunology, participants experience how working with chakras, imagery, and relational connection can shift resistance, restore flow, and open new possibilities for change.
Syllabus Description: This session will demonstrate the efficient and strategic use of energy and trancework in shifting clients’’ resistance into movement and resolution of conflict. Case examples will be provided to illustrate application of our approach with a couple, a mother and daughter, and with adolescent girls. We will conclude with a demonstration and discussion.
