Description

Description:

Therapy has typically focused on explaining why people have their problems and why they sometimes make the poor choices they make. This workshop focuses on HOW, not why, people unintentionally make choices that negatively impact their emotional well-being and quality of life. We will identify obstacles to making the key discriminations that can give rise to better decision making, especially global cognitive style and a past orientation. We will explore the role hypnosis can play in encouraging the development of effective discrimination strategies that can lead clients to choose “this,” not “that.”

Educational Objectives:

  1. Assess cognitive style's effect on symptomatic experience.
  2. Describe the role of global cognitions in client problems.
  3. Explain how a therapist’s cognitive style may hinder treatment results.
