During the Decade of the Brain, fMRI and SPECT scans provided new insights. But after the dust settled, it was not clear how therapists could use this information in the service of mental health. Combining Ericksonian paradigms with the latest science of brain dynamics, this workshop will lay out a step by step methodology that can be easily followed and implemented to improve and optimize your clients’ emotional and cognitive functioning.
Experiential methods empower therapy. Therapist sculpting is a dramatic method used in the assessment and intervention periods of Therapy. Learn how to "map" the state of the problem and solution, and create therapy goals.
In this workshop the presenters will address the use of clinical intuition across the different sensory modalities when interacting with a client as a complex energy system. Participants will learn how to access their intuition and how to change the consciousness and energetics of the client through the use of trance. Participants also will learn how the "healer" can walk between the worlds of evidence-based medicine and the energetic realms by employing the use of trance states.
The power of expectations to influence both the onset of symptoms as well as the quality of clinical response to treatment is will established in the literature. In this workshop, we will explore how expectancy influences experiences of all types, and how hypnosis can be used to help establish positive expectancy of treatment success.
