Description

Description:

This workshop provides an overview of the Ericksonian theory of utilization and then explores through demonstration, clinical examples, and a brief group exercise how to incorporate a client's processes—positive and negative associations, positive goals, desired futures, ongoing behaviors--in both the induction and utilization parts of Ericksonian hypnotherapy. 

Educational Objectives:

  1. Demonstrate how, given a client’s presentation, both a hypnotic induction and hypnotherapy plan can be developed based on its unique and outstanding features.
  2. Describe how therapists can create a ritual space where symptoms can be altered into new identities.
  3. Demonstrate how to develop a hypnotic trance by incorporating a client’s ongoing experiences.

Stephen Gilligan Ph.D., is a Psychologist in Encinitas, CA. He was one of the original NLP students at UC Santa Cruz; Milton Erickson and Gregory Bateson were his mentors.

These different traditions have all been updated and integrated into the present Generative Change Work, which includes the applications of Generative Coaching, Generative Psychotherapy, Generative Trance, Hero’s Journey, and Systemic Change work.
