Hypnotherapists risk frustration and failure when they strive to make something happen with clients – to induce them into trance and insti- gate change. A far more effective alternative is to invite clients into trance and co-discover possibilities of change. Participants will have opportunities to practice this collaborative approach to hypnotherapy.
Thanks to a number of recent studies, there is now solid empirical evidence for what distinguishes highly effective therapists. In this workshop, participants will learn the qualities and practices that separate the great from the good. Participants also will find out about a system of feedback procedures that can be used to develop a profile of their most and least effective moments in therapy - what works and what doesn’t. Not only will attendees get a far more exact idea of their clinical strengths and weaknesses and how to use the findings to improve their own practice, but they will also come away with concrete tools that will boost clinical abilities and effectiveness.
The diagnosis of depression has two very different realities which can make treatment difficult. We will describe a depression that begins with acute and chaotic symptoms. The use of hypnosis in the beginning acute and chaotic phase is very important and usually has a quick and effective result.
The whole information of the Universe lies in each one of its parts. My Wise Part is more than my Unconscious Mind. I am that Universal Wisdom, the Good inside me; Creative Forces of the Universe. Participants will get in contact with their Inner Wisdom and learn to enhance and utilize it.
This faculty will discuss and demonstrate two confusional inductions along with a range of story applications for common clinical problems including anxiety and mood disorders, anger management, insomnia, ego-strengthening and unconscious problem-solving. Unconsciously-directed techniques will also be addressed. There will be discussion of the applications of story techniques in both hypnosis and standard psychotherapy.
Based on two models developed and implemented by Dr. Mills, this experiential workshop provides restorative approaches for expanding individual therapy to community healing after disaster. Cultural diversity, natural healing, spirituality, storytelling and “story crafts” will be utilized to demonstrate how to reawaken innate resiliency. Inherent in the models being addressed are the philosophies of Milton Erickson, Native Americans, Hawaiians and other transcultural teachings, along with the principles of play therapy.
A key idea in Milton Erickson's work was that a person's problematic experiences and behaviors can be skillfully accepted and utilized as the basis for therapeutic change. Self-Relations psychotherapy develops this idea further, emphasizing symptoms as indicating the death of an old identity and the impending birth of a new identity. Thus, we don't try to "get rid of" depression, anxiety, or other "acting out/acting in" expressions, but instead invite them into a human relationship of "sponsorship", where their healing and helpful nature may be realized. We will see how a therapist can generate a ritual space where symptoms and other disturbing experiences can be "midwifed" into new identities.
Though heavily defended, personal identity is contextually reframable. This paradox is utilized for treating otherwise resistant and regressive post-traumatic and personality disorders. Patients are respectfully challenged to define who they are, what they stand for and where they’re heading. This methodology proves effective, cost efficient and safe.
A blend of sculpting and hypnotic language is an effective tool to move a client, a couple, a family, or an organization out of an impasse. You can sculpt any idea, family pattern, group process, hope, dream, obstacle or relationship by putting it outside the self and observing it, which re-organizes and metabolizes it on new levels.
By ascertaining the "lived experience" of a person's trance state, we can create tailored inductions. We will explore the fundamental model of Ericksonian inductions.
