IC01 Workshop 25 - Stories to Wet Your Breath - Terry Tafoya, PhD
Ritualistic repetition of traditional American Indian stories creates a "scaffolding" of associations on a metacognitive level, offering a framework for problem solving. Participants will engage in story and the making of meaning. Specific clinical examples will be paired with specific stories.
IC01 Workshop 24 - Finding the Energy to Heal: Ericksonian Principles and Energy Psychology - Maggie Phillips, PhD
This workshop explores ways of applying principles of energy psychology to Ericksonian methods of
mind/body healing. Ways that energy therapies, including Ericksonian hypnosis, EMDR and various
body-focused methods, can reopen psychological "meridians" blocked by stress to promote energy
shifts that help resolve symptoms and restore health will be presented and practiced. The format
includes video and live demonstrations, a brief practicum and case consultation.
IC01 Workshop 21 - Strategic Treatment of Panic Disorder - R. Reid Wilson, PhD
Participants will learn the most direct therapeutic strategies for treatment of panic disorder. Topics will
include patterns of psycho-social development, the panic prone personality, reframing the benevolent
purpose of symptoms, eight attitude shifts, brief calming and focusing skills, responding to worries,
paradoxical management of physical symptoms, pattern disruption, imagery practice and interceptive
exposure.
IC01 Workshop 05 - Reframing: The Many Patterns of Meaning - Steve Andreas, MA
There are two fundamentally different ways that people make meaning from their experience, and
at least seventeen distinctly different simple patterns for changing that meaning through reframing.
Exquisite therapists like Erickson and Satir used nearly all these patterns, while most therapists
use only a few. Come add to your skills.
Participants will be guided through several exercises to help them learn and practice the construction of six forms of indirect suggestions, four therapeutic binds and four verbal confusion techniques. A demonstration using these forms will illustrate the implementation of this set of language techniques for the induction process and how they elaborate simple metaphor. Reasons for the use of indirect suggestions, binds and confusion in treatment and their effect will be addressed and demonstrated.
IC01 Workshop 03 - The Neglected Self in Hypnotic Psychotherapy - Stephen Gilligan, PhD
For hypnosis to have therapeutic value, it must be able to activate and work with disconnected
parts of a person's self-identity. We will examine different ways to access and stay connected to
these "neglected selves" during hypnotic work.
IC01 Workshop 23 - Ericksonian Play Therapy - Joyce Mills, PhD
With the healing power of story and play at its center, this experiential workshop will provide
participants with the essential elements of the Ericksonian Play Therapy model. While emphasizing
cultural diversity, natural healing abilities and creative solutions, participants will learn specific
"therapeutic stepping stones" that will help children and adolescents rediscover joy, empowerment and
their ability to soar.
