The conceptualization of “permissive suggestion” ranks among the most important contributions made by Milton Erickson to hypnosis and psychotherapy. Permissive suggestion is a technique that forms a bridge between a full spectrum of hypnot- ic procedures and the type of process needed to address existential dilemmas commonly dealt with in psychotherapy.

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.

Much of the effectiveness of hypnotic communication comes from nonverbal processes. This workshop will guide participants in how to develop, sustain and use these nonverbal connections for both induction and utilization purposes. Special attention will be given to using hypnosis as a poetic language that touches, evokes and engages the felt sense of a person's meaning making process.
Practitioners of hypnosis use a special grammar to elicit a special phenomenology. These linguistic forms can be applied to empower over psychotherapy even without formal trance. There will be lecture, demonstrations and practice.
Therapists sometimes say, "It's the journey that matters, not the destination." But, only therapists say that - not clients. Clients typically want results, and so it is largely up to the clinician to structure an effective intervention. In this workshop, we will consider the fundamentals of designing and delivering goal-oriented hypnosis sessions.
