Description
Description: Compassionate playfulness becomes the centerpiece of this experiential and deeply personal session. Betty Blue weaves Ericksonian principles, neuroscience, mirror neurons, oxytocin, and the work of Daniel Siegel and the Rossis into a practical vision of how lightness can interrupt learned helplessness and restore vitality. Through story, metaphor, guided exercises, and candid reflection on her own diagnosis, she shows how playful connection can soften suffering, activate resilience, and invite both therapist and client into a shared, transformative trance.
Syllabus Description: Participants are invited to explore and experience spiritually uplifting, trance-forming, life-affirming, compassionately bonding and solution rehearsing processes and techniques comprising Transcendence-focused Playfulness. Emphasis will be on how such processes may transform learned helplessness into personal empowerment and contribute to emotion-based neurochemical regulation, well-being, immunoenhancement and gene expression. Examples and group participation will highlight “Metaphorplay”, playful paradox, soothing and energizing imagination activation, musical catharsis and reciprocating the compassionate radiance of “natural highs”.
Educational Objectives:
- Describe three playful transcendence-focused techniques that can be useful with clients experiencing life challenges or disappointments.
- Describe how playfully uplifting catharsis may contribute to immune system enhancement.
