The “Creative Unconscious” in hypnotherapy can be seen as residing in neither the client nor the therapist, but in the relationship between them. This workshop will explore how the therapists can use their own experiential self to develop this special relationship and use it as part of diagnosis, trance induction, creative problem solving and ongoing feedback.

Participants will be guided through several exercises to help them learn and practice the construction of four forms of confusion technique, bring the number of indirect suggestion to six and the number of therapeutic binds to four. A demonstration using these forms will illustrate the implementations of this set of language techniques for the induction and treatment process.
Induction can be a method of delivering therapy, not just a means of eliciting trance. We will explore advanced techniques of utilization, explore advanced techniques of utilization, seeding, motivating and pattern disruption.

This workshop offers a practical step-by-step approach to overcoming a multitude of the addictive disorders. The first hour presents the foundation of this comprehensive treatment which is based on learning the principles of cognitive and behavioral therapy, and the ideas of Milton Erickson and Michael Yapko. Hypnosis is the cornerstone of this treatment because “addicts” love things that help them escape their everyday reality. Hypnosis is used to target multidimensional small changes in your patient which eventually progresses into a new and lasting lifestyle. The second hour presents a live clinical demonstration of an assessment of a person, their addictive problem and its hypnotic treatment.
Therapists who perform marital and sex therapy often become “vanilla-ized” by conservative and moralistic values espoused by the psy- chotherapy industry. Through a series of permissive group inductions attendees will reconnect with their erotic self. They will also engage in future foreplay regarding potential erotic selves. By more fully experiencing the erotic self, therapists will be more effective in working with sexually diverse clients who desire consensual BDSM, kink, fetish, and multi-partner experiences.
The four-stage creative process will be facilitated with bioinformatics approaches to therapeutic hypnosis with the entire audience. Adaptations to each individual's needs will be demonstrated with volunteers from the audience.
