The “Creative Unconscious” in hypnotherapy can be seen as residing in neither the client nor the therapist, but in the relationship between them.

Self-Image Thinking (SIT) is a term Lankton coined in 1979 for a cognitive-emotional intervention he uses with clients. SIT is a cognitive-affective rehearsal of experience and behavior that takes advantage of the neurological motto: "What fires together, wires together." This workshop will cover both the SIT protocol and various therapeutic uses of the intervention.

The hypnotic induction is the vehicle for facilitating the qualities of dissociation that characterize hypnotic experience: selective attention, detachment, multiple-level processing, non-volitional responses, and so forth. In some ways, the induction used matters very little and in other ways matters a lot. In this workshop, we'll explore and practice with a variety of induction processes ranging from structured to conversational.
