Description: This conversation offers an intimate portrait of Milton and Elizabeth Erickson through the voices of family members and close friends. Personal stories reveal the everyday values that shaped their home, hospitality, humor, creativity, and deep respect for people, nature, and learning. For therapists and students, the session provides a rare glimpse into how Ericksonian principles were lived, modeled, and passed across generations, not just practiced in the therapy room.
