Description

Description:

This workshop presents the Ericksonian and Self-Relations Psychotherapy approach to human states of suffering: depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction, etc. This practical and positive approach assumes that each core human experience has equivalent potential to be positive or negative, depending on the human relationship to it; and thus focuses on how problems can be transformed into resources by skillful human connection. This process operates at two levels: (1) developing a generative state (in the therapist, client, and relationship field) and then (2) using specific methods of transforming negative experiences and behaviors. Multiple techniques and examples for will be given, along with an exercise and demonstration.

Educational Objectives:

  1. Demonstrate three methods for transforming a negative experience into a positive resources.
  2. Demonstrate three methods for developing a creative state of utilization in both therapist and client.
  3. Demonstrate three techniques for reducing negative attitudes towards typical problems.
