We will show cases to apply some Ericksonian solutions in children who share negative self- esteem for their problematic behavior.
Ericksonian psychotherapy emphasizes the utilization of our resources. When I treat children with enuresis, I focus on resources and keep in mind that Ericksonian interventions should be brief because children may get tired of being in therapy for too long. Techniques tailored to a child and examples of inductions such as eye fixation utilizing toys will be presented. I will emphasize how to make several brief interventions quickly while utilizing "non human co-therapists" during home assignments, and the combination of conversational trance with tasks.
Attendees will be introduced to Ericksonian interventions and Thought Field Therapy interventions. They have been successfully utilized by the presenter to treat the symptoms of trauma in clinical settings, in the field (Rwanda and other African countries) and in large group settings (Charity Hospital and other new Orleans institutions.)

Using an experiential and didactic approach, this workshop will provide participants with useable tools they can also teach their clients.

This workshop focuses on the practical applications of Milton Erickson's utilization approach and applications of hypnosis in working with children diagnosed with Asperger's and other high functioning autism spectrum disorders.
