Expectation is the essence of doing very brief therapy using hypnosis. When a client knows that you rarely see people more than one or two times, he/she is primed to do significant work immediately. Various methods of doing very brief therapy will be illustrated experientially.
Persuading OCD clients to adopt a new frame of reference is the therapist's primary task. Altering perception--not adding technique--helps them change directions, because belief always trumps exposure practice. Participants will learn a persuasive strategy--built out of whole cloth within the first session--that will frame the entire treatment protocol.
Thanks to a number of recent studies, there is now solid empirical evidence for what distinguishes highly effective from average therapists. In this workshop, participants will learn three specific strategies that separate the great from the good. Participants will also learn a simple method for measuring success rates that can be used to develop a profile of their most and least effective moments in therapy—what works and what doesn’t. Not only will attendees get a far more exact idea of their clinical strengths and weaknesses and how to use the findings to improve their own practice, but they will also come away with the concrete tools that will immediately boost clinical abilities and effectiveness.
Personal identity is both heavily defended and reframable. When accepted as a given, rapport ensues. Patients are then challenged to define themselves: self-description, value priorities, and goals/perceived roadblocks/plan. Being held responsible for what is under their sole control minimizes regression, and promotes responsibility and morale.
Are you and your clients in a rut? Need to break out of the routine and add fun, interest and efficacy to your sessions? Come see how simple props — paper, cups, blank videocassettes — can be imaginatively used to create an implicit language system that will enhance communication with your clients and generate more impact in every session. Multisensory techniques allow you to tap into the sensory modalities of your clients, going beyond just words to create change. You’ll learn the Mnemotechnique Principles that demonstrate how to stimulate normal functions of memory and imagination to increase your efficacy with every client.
Conversational Trances occur in virtually every good therapy session. Possessing phenomena of “regular” hypnosis, they speak powerfully both directly and indirectly to the unconscious. Often this opportunity is ignored. This workshop will show ways to create, use and become comfortable trusting both your and the client’s own abilities with this.
Change potential is enhanced by creating success experience during the therapeutic encounter, and by developing individualized tools to reinforce change on an ongoing basis. This demonstration assesses personal resources, motivation, and develops an individualized change plan.

Mindfulness has been well researched as an efficacious addition to psychotherapy. Adding a mindful perspective for your client teaches helpful tools which promotes the therapeutic process and enhances your interventions on many levels. This clinical demonstration shows how to work with client suffering to bring about a feeling of presence and wellbeing. The client's problem is viewed through a different lens of the present moment, without judgment, and through acceptance. Transformation is possible here and now as the audience and the client step together with us on the mindful path.

Chatting has evolved over the years as the presenter's main mode of effective therapeutic change. This will be demonstrated with a volunteer. The essence of chatting is being so comfortable that each can share and talk openly. Sessions generally end with a summarizing hypnosis experience.
