Description: Participants observe how guided imagery and brief hypnosis can restore confidence and creative momentum after a discouraging academic experience. The session shows how careful language, pauses, and client-chosen resources create safety while indirect suggestions help loosen self-doubt without confronting it head-on. Viewers see how a single-session approach builds internal support, anchors new experience, and allows change to emerge through imagery, relationship, and meaning rather than problem analysis.
Syllabus Description: The use of guided imagery using hypnosis will be demonstrated with a volunteer as a method of doing brief therapy. The volunteer may present a physical or behavioral difficulty for this demonstration. Also demonstrated will be the use of physical anchors.
