Psychotherapy is an exploration of how individuals can forge positive, therapeutic responses to life challenges. This workshop focuses on the three core connections that allow clients to do this: (1) Positive intention and goals (“towards a positive future”); (2) Somatic Centering (“embodied presence”); and (3) Field Resources (“positive connections beyond the problem”). We will see how in a repetitive problem, all three of these connections are typically absent. More importantly, we will see how clients may be helped to developed and sustain these positive connections while engaging with challenging material—e.g., a past trauma, a present difficulty, or a future possibility. Participants will be offered multiple techniques and examples, as well as several demonstrations to illustrate this positive orientation to psychotherapy.
Consultation can be a valuable process in the provision of therapeutic services to clients. Traditional case presentation scenarios can lead to limited, reactive dialogues that solidify the therapist’s sense of “stuckness.” The reflecting team approach to consultation uses reflexive questioning to allow non-reactive associations free from the constraints of conversation thinking to access all of the participants’ inner resources. This workshop will explore the elements of meaningful consultation with discussion, video, and live demonstration.
This workshop will address the rapid treatment of trauma by utilizing both Mindfulness practice and Ericksonian orientation’s that understand the importance of the symptom as a pathway to inner healing. We will review the clinical skills of tracking, pacing and utilization of the symptom for accessing the un-conscious and inner resources with mindfulness and trance. The workshop will highlight Milton Erickson’s use of storytelling, metaphor and rapid trance induction as well as the use of mindfulness practice for framing, reframing and de-framing for the immediate reorganization of transforming somatic-affective experience into new healing rhythms in the body.
After eight sessions, a patient remains chronically depressed, a condition he’s suffered with for years. To date, hypnosis and therapy have had no effect, and he is considering illicit drugs. What happens now? In this workshop we will work with a DVD of the next two sessions: each step of the process will be explored with the audience.
Footprintings, a dynamic new treatment approach, provides effective and easy to use tools for observing and experiencing different Self States, accessing resources and repairing relational perspectives between them. This process lays the groundwork for reorganizing and forging new and supportive internal alliances. In this workshop, we will offer an introduction to the theory and practice of Footprintings. Attendees will then have a chance to participate in a three-dimensional practicum. In addition, an overview of the background literature and research for this new approach will be provided.
In this practical workshop, we will explore ways of connecting individual clients with their own unique resources by exploring activities they like, connecting with these hypnotically, and transferring these resources to the problem experience so a unique solution can emerge respectfully and effectively through lecture, demonstration, and small group practice.
Hypnosis as a tool of treatment has become increasingly important as more and more schools of psychotherapy come to the obvious realization that your focus defines you. What a difference to focus on what’s right with someone than to focus on what’s wrong! In this demonstration, hypnosis will be used as a means of identifying and consolidating personal resources that can assist in promoting a higher level of well being.

Michael Yapko (2009) works with a volunteer, a medical student, who feels “frozen” to advance professionally. Fearing public speaking and feeling blocked in writing she wants to feel centered and motivated. Yapko uses hypnosis –what he calls, “the original positive psychology”— to free her from feeling stuck and to help her take risks to move forward.
