As advances are made in better understanding the power of focus in shaping one’s subjective perceptions and even physiology, the field of hypnosis has played an especially important role in this ongoing process of discovery. Despite too many clinicians’ terribly misinformed dismissal of hypnosis as little more than a gimmick, in fact hypnosis has evolved a strong scientific basis for its insights into neuroscience, cognition, suggestive language and information processing, placebo and nocebo responses, the therapeutic alliance, and more. Some of these insights and their clinical implications will be discussed.
The process of contracting for change in the initial session will be described and discussed. Methods of targeting goals will be compared and contrasted.
Racial, gender, and LGBTQ micro aggressions are brief and commonplace daily verbal, behavioral or environmental indignities which communicate hostile, derogatory, or negative slights to targets. They are often reflections of implicit bias that are outside the level of conscious awareness of well-intentioned individuals. Nevertheless, they have been found to cause lowered subjective well-being in the lives of marginalized group members and may lead to mental health problems. Research indicates that clinicians and supervisors are often perpetrators of micro aggressions.
Research indicates the effectiveness of psychotherapeutic interventions, but some psychotherapists constantly achieve better treatment outcomes and lasting changes. What do these “expert” therapists do and not do to achieve these positive results?

In her new Audible original audio series: Where Should We Begin, Esther Perel invites the listener into the raw intimate space of real anonymous couples who are participating in unscripted counseling sessions. In opening the closed doors of psychotherapy, she stands to redefine not only the boundaries of therapy, but also the communal nature of healing. The project raises some timely questions: If one of therapy's aims is to create a space for meaningful, challenging and authentic conversations between partners, can it broaden its aim and address relationships in today’s complex world in general. Can it serve to strengthen and improve human connection in society at large? What does therapy offer that differs from coaching? Where do thought leaders and psychotherapists intersect?
