Description
Description: This workshop presents a practical, experience-based approach to very brief therapy built around expectation, language, and choice. Participants learn how tools like the miracle question, acting “as if,” reframing, metaphor, and ambiguous assignments can unlock change quickly without extensive assessment or diagnosis. Through live demonstrations and guided exercises, the session shows how small shifts in meaning and expectation can produce outsized clinical impact, often within a single session.
Syllabus Description: Expectation is the essence of doing very brief therapy using hypnosis. When a client knows that you rarely see people more than one or two times, he/she is primed to do significant work immediately. Various methods of doing very brief therapy will be illustrated experientially.
Educational Objectives:
- Describe two methods of doing very brief therapy.
- Describe how expectation affects the length of therapy.
