Hypnosis may well be the original Positive Psychology. Anyone who does hypnosis does it because of a belief that people have more resources than they realize. Encouraging people to find and use these hidden resources through hypnosis is the subject of this workshop.

The conceptualization of “permissive suggestion” ranks among the most important contributions made by Milton Erickson to hypnosis and psychotherapy. Permissive suggestion is a technique that forms a bridge between a full spectrum of hypnot- ic procedures and the type of process needed to address existential dilemmas commonly dealt with in psychotherapy.

This workshop will demonstrate how we can start with the symptom and discover new ways to use hypnosis for diseases like phobias, panic disorders and depression. Dr. Bauer will describe interpersonal techniques to help these patients.
A blend of sculpting and hypnotic language is an effective tool to move a client, a couple, a family, or an organization out of an impasse. You can sculpt any idea, family pattern, group process, hope, dream, obstacle or relationship by putting it outside the self and observing it, which re-organizes and metabolizes it on new levels.

Hypnosis has been shown to enhance the effects of treatment in general, and CBT in particular, making treatment more effective and with more enduring results. Hypnosis as a field is supported by a body of scientific literature that is broad, deep and fascinating, addressing issues such as information processing, the relationship between the brain and the mind, the dynamics of interpersonal influence, and how suggestions become realities. As practicing clinicians, we have a great deal to learn from studying hypnosis whether we ever intend to become "hypnotists" or not. The role of suggestion - influential communication - is so basic to any healing technique that to ignore, avoid, or underestimate its impact in the therapy process weakens our ability to practice therapy effectively.
Research shows that treatment paired with hypnosis is more effective than treatment alone for many types of problems. The science and art of hypnosis is now widely recognized as a component tool for psychotherapy and has been employed successfully as a comfortable part of private practice and agency practice for years. As hypnosis spreads into the mainstream of psychotherapy, it is important to get competent information regarding its use. Lacking that, many practitioners do not make use of the advantages it provides as an adjunct to a well-rounded set of clinical skills. This workshop is intended to correct that lack of understanding and training in this important area. The rationale, indications and basic use will be explained and demonstrated with practical exercises to help convey the key language skills that are requisite.
An experiential orientation empowers therapeutic change. Dramatic experiential methods can be used by any clinician in every stage of the therapeutic process including assessment, in session treatment and homework assignments. Techniques to be demonstrated and practiced include therapist sculpting, symbolic assignments and analogical tasks.
