The “Creative Unconscious” in hypnotherapy can be seen as residing in neither the client nor the therapist, but in the relationship between them. This workshop will explore how the therapists can use their own experiential self to develop this special relationship and use it as part of diagnosis, trance induction, creative problem solving and ongoing feedback.

Clinicians who practice hypnosis must be familiar with its legal and ethical boundaries. In recent years, courts have paid increasing attention to the clinical and forensic use of hypnosis. Many lawyers have targeted hypnosis as what they call an “experimental and dangerous” type of treatment. We will discuss how therapists may simultaneously protect the legal rights of their patients, and may protect themselves from lawsuits. In addressing current clinical concerns, we will examine the rich and colorful history of hypnosis as it relates to law.
Many strategic therapists eschew theory and sacrifice grounding. Missing theory resides in basic sciences. Hypnosis data reveal consciousness and volition as paradoxes, resolvable through evolutionary biology. Human's minds evolved as shared self-deceptions. Theory can predict transference, paradox, game antitheses, Erickson's "common sense psychology," but it constrains their optimum utilization.
We all have a feminine part and a masculine part, both yin and yang. Whereas the masculine part helps us to control things, analyze things, and make things happen in the world, the feminine part is our guide to, and the connection with our soul. We need ways to resonate with our feminine side in order to have direction, meaning and purpose, and to fulfill our mission in life. This workshop will address how hypnosis and some other strategies can be used to help us resonate with the feminine in our lives.

Participants will learn how to access their intuition and how to change the consciousness and energetics of the client through the use of trance. Participants also will learn how the "healer" can walk between the worlds of evidence-based medicine and the energetic realms by employing the use of trance states.
