Three brief, novel, creative and easy to learn approaches to the induction of therapeutic hypnosis that are appropriate for practically any client issue with any theoretical orientation will be shared with participants. All of these approaches have evolved from Erickson's original "hand levitation technique" and are consistent with the principles of art, beauty, and truth presented in the new 2008 series of "The Collected Works of Milton H. Erickson," Vol.1, "The Nature of Therapeutic Hypnosis."
The rationale for the use of indirection will be presented. In this session you will learn and practice the construction of fundamental forms of indirection language. Participants will practice five forms of indirect suggestions and three forms of binds. A demonstration using these forms will illustrate the implementation of this set of language techniques for the induction and treatment process. The use of indirect suggestions in further treatment will be outlined.
This session explores various methods for eliciting hypnotic trance in a therapy situation. The relevance of utilizing key aspects of a client's resources and symptoms, as well as different ways to gage and incorporate ongoing feedback will be emphasized.
Hypnosis is not a thing, but a way that things happen. To make hypnosis happen a clinician needs to understand the underlying architecture of trance. Eliciting systemic components elicits trance. The grammar, context and relational elements of eliciting these components will be explained. We will develop an induction model based on three steps. This workshop will consist of lecture, demonstration and small group practice.
The “Creative Unconscious” in hypnotherapy can be seen as residing in neither the client nor the therapist, but in the relationship between them. This workshop will explore how the therapists 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.

SIT is a cognitive-affective rehearsal of experience and behavior that takes advantage of the neurological motto: "What fires together, wires together." This workshop will cover both the SIT protocol and various therapeutic uses of the intervention.

It is important to respectfully facilitate a patient's naturalistic elicitation of hypnosis through a rhythmic, absorbing process. This workshop presents "truisms," suggestions, and the "yes set" as just such a way to elicit hypnosis for a variety of applications.

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.
