Lecture, group and individual demonstrations with volunteers from the audience will illustrate Rossi's activity-dependent approaches to therapeutic hypnosis and psychotherapy that are consistent with the theory and research on the molecular-genomic level plasticity for the creative reconstruction of mind, memory and consciousness.
Erickson's hand levitation and pantomime techniques have evolved into simple, easy to learn, activity-dependent approaches to therapeutic hypnosis, and are consistent with the theory and research of the current neuroscience on brain plasticity and the molecular genomic level of psychotherapy. Demonstrations with volunteers from the audience will illustrate.
The Molecular-Genomic core of therapeutic hypnosis and psychotherapy is identified as the 90-120 minute process that neuroscientists currently term "long term potentiation," which is believed to be the molecular basis of brain plasticity, memory and learning.
Covered in this workshop will be an overview of issues in sex counseling; demographic information; issues in assessment; a phenomenological model; Ericksonian assumptions; and couples exercises for enhancing intimacy.

Hypnosis is an experiential method of "gift wrapping" ideas. With or without formal trance, hypnotic methods can be used in the assessment and intervention process of couples therapy.
Milton Erickson's approach typically featured finding hidden personal resources and extending them into situations where they would help the client. We will first see a portion of this basic, but valuable, strategy in a video of Dr. Erickson; then have the opportunity to practice this strategy in a structured practice session.

The "creative unconscious" in hypnotherapy can be seen as residing in neither the client nor in the therapist, but in the relationship between them. This workshop will explore how the therapist 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.

ECEM is an approach to the treatment of trauma that integrates the eye movement component of EMDR within hypnosis. ECEM utilizes the effect of eye movements on imagery in the context of hypnotic safety, unconscious processing, self-suggestion, and future pacing. This workshop includes research review, demonstration and practicum.
This workshop will explore the manner by which hypnosis restores the natural balance of the mind and body. Participants will learn how hypnotic patterns can create or utilize pathways that resonate throughout the body and mind with synchrony at the cellular level. This will result in expanding the utilization of hypnosis to encompass the integration of systemic health.
