Erickson works hypnotically with a naive subject. He demonstrates the use of arousal state and destabilizing methods. Hypnosis can stimulate resources into play that can promote adaptive living.
This is a practical, personal growth workshop demonstrating how the new neuroscience principles of novelty, enrichment and physical exercise can be facilitated with creative replay and reframing as the fundamental dynamics of Erickson's work.
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.
