Description

Description:

Whenever asked, “What is the most important aspect of using hypnosis?", Milton Erickson usually responded, ”observation.” He would say, “Look for what they don’t tell you.” We will include some observation-sharpening activities and some revealing experiences we have had with non-verbal information.

Educational Objectives:

  1. To describe the importance of non-verbal communication in therapy.
  2. To describe two observation-sharpening activities.
