- Short Description:
- This workshop explores how sharpening sensory acuity can make brief therapy more precise, responsive, and lasting. Participants learn to track subtle shifts in posture, breathing, facial expression, tone, and physiology, and to use those cues to guide timing, language, and intervention moment by moment. Through demonstrations, exercises, and clinical stories drawn from Ericksonian work, the session shows how careful observation turns technique into artistry, helping therapists interrupt stuck patterns and respond to what clients are actually communicating in real time.
