People slip in and out of trance every day. Couples evoke each other into positive trances (falling in love) and negative trances (reenacting family-of-origin, unresolved issues and identifications). In this workshop we will work with five hypnotic tools to help couples transform their relationship.
This workshop reveals the psychological secrets of success of elite athletes and performing artists and makes them available to therapists working with clients who wish to bust slumps or achieve excellence in any aspect of their lives - work, play or romance. Learn the psychological tactics of Lance Armstrong, Willie Mays, John McEnroe, Ali, EMINEM and Dumbo, and then learn how to put them to work for your client using hypnotic, solution-focused, strategic protocols.
Erickson reminded us that people are more resourceful than they know, but how can we respectfully connect clients with their natural resourcefulness and assist them towards their solutions? By exploring what someone likes we can tap into a richly textured collection of experiences that can then provide a coherent and effective direction to the therapy process.
This workshop explores hypnosis and integrative medicine to analyze the subtle human anatomy, diagnose the psychophysiological aspects of a problem and stimulate the healing response. Cutting edge research is reported and a variety of tools including light, sound and electromagnetic frequency are demonstrated. The therapist can use energetic trance techniques for treatment.
The process of human growth and development occurs through a series of identity cycles. The transition from one identity level to the next is precipitated by extraordinary experiences, positive or negative in nature, that destabilize the ordinary state of consciousness. The result is a naturalistic trance or special learning state. If properly utilized, these trances lead to new, more evolved states of human being; but if not welcomed and received, violence and other forms of destructive pathology result. This address will examine this process in detail, and discuss implications for development at individual, group, and cultural levels.
