Description
Dialogue 02 – Exploring Integrative Approaches
Join two experienced Ericksonian therapists as they discuss innovative, client-centered strategies for addressing anxiety and depression. This dialogue explores how hypnotic techniques can align with evidence-based practices, enhance client autonomy, and reframe emotional conflict. Practical examples highlight the nuanced use of language, pacing, and suggestion in therapeutic conversations. This dialogue doesn't require previous knowledge about hypnosis. It will enhance the knowledge of professionals who use hypnosis in their practice as well as those who don't.
Educational Objectives:
1. Explore Integrative Approaches: Attendees will be able to describe how hypnotherapy can be integrated with evidence-based treatments for anxiety and depression, including cognitive-behavioral and somatic approaches.
2. Demonstrate Strategic Communication: Attendees will observe and analyze conversational techniques used by hypnotherapists to elicit client motivation, reframe internal conflict, and support adaptive engagement with distress.
3. Apply Contextual Interventions: Attendees will learn how to tailor hypnotic interventions to the client’s natural language, values, and lived experience to enhance therapeutic alignment and reduce resistance.
