Description

Description:

Words are the tools of hypnosis. The English language, full of ambiguity, offers remarkable opportunities to embed therapeutic healing messages into the induction and into the body of the hypnotic session. This workshop offers examples and demonstration of multiple meaning and the creative incorporation of linguistic metaphor into therapeutic uses of hypnosis.

Educational Objectives:

  1. Demonstrate how to use verbal ambiguity as a means of embedding suggestions and therapeutic interventions into your hypnotic message.
  2. Plan how to incorporate these remarkably useful gems into your hypnotic work.
