Switching from his/her digital to analog brain functions allows the therapist to get in deep touch with the client in order to be part of the system rather than to be an observer. This workshop will show how to improve this ability.
Increased consumer use of the internet and technology gives therapists new ways to reach potential clients. Technology may be one of the best ways to market a private practice in the coming decade. Much of this technology is easy to learn and implement. Learn how to increase your private practice using the technology of websites, blogs, pay-per-click advertising, credit card services, audio recordings, online assessments and appointment managers.
Thanks to a number of recent studies, there is now solid empirical evidence for what distinguishes highly effective therapists. In this workshop, participants will learn the qualities and practices that separate the great from the good. Participants also will find out about a system of feedback procedures that can be used to develop a profile of their most and least effective moments in therapy - what works and what doesn’t. Not only will attendees get a far more exact idea of their clinical strengths and weaknesses and how to use the findings to improve their own practice, but they will also come away with concrete tools that will boost clinical abilities and effectiveness.
This workshop will present the latest information and updates on the SFBT approach in the context of practical ideas and techniques that participants can readily apply to their case loads.
What is there for therapists to learn from a country with a political philosophy of gross national happiness; from ancient, holistic healing tradi- tions; or from religions that practice mindfulness and compassion? Join a slide tour into the stunningly beautiful, remote Himalayan Kingdom of Bhutan, learn about the continuing educational aspects of the study program, and share the experiences of participants undertaking the journey.
Based on two models developed and implemented by Dr. Mills, this experiential workshop provides restorative approaches for expanding individual therapy to community healing after disaster. Cultural diversity, natural healing, spirituality, storytelling and “story crafts” will be utilized to demonstrate how to reawaken innate resiliency. Inherent in the models being addressed are the philosophies of Milton Erickson, Native Americans, Hawaiians and other transcultural teachings, along with the principles of play therapy.
Hypnotherapists risk frustration and failure when they strive to make something happen with clients – to induce them into trance and insti- gate change. A far more effective alternative is to invite clients into trance and co-discover possibilities of change. Participants will have opportunities to practice this collaborative approach to hypnotherapy.
Survival strategies (fight, flight, freeze) are deep patterns often learned at an early age. If not updated and enriched, they can become limitations. Bateson’s Levels of Learning provide a powerful roadmap for transforming survival strategies to more effective forms of protection and safety.
