By tapping in on the child's natural tendency for curiosity and mastery, and utilizing the natural everyday hypnotic communication patterns within the family, it is possible to create a therapeutic "hypnotic space" within the family. The use of brief hypnotherapy from a family therapy frame can help the child/adolescent disengage from the individualistic problematic view, increasing the possibility for more lasting generative changes. Special attention will be given to the role of parents as active participants in this therapeutic process.

Too often out initial enthusiasm is diminished, replaced by resignation, dissatisfaction and burnout. Group discussion and individual exploration will help to clarify the passion that made participants become interested in their work.

This will then allow for future experiences to be more readily accessible.
Therapists can use themselves with artistry as exquisite barometers of the moment-to-moment shifts of consciousness flowing between their own unconscious and the unconscious of the client.

Didactic, video, experiential.
