IC07 Personal Development Workshop 18 - From the Technique to the Person: How to Develop Hypnotists’ Resources to Activate Therapeutic Change - Camillo Loriedo, MD
This experiential workshop will offer practical and respectful solution-focused techniques for working compassionately and effectively with angry, traumatized and involuntary clients who have been beaten up by life, illness, or addictions.
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.
Ericksonian therapeutic approaches emphasize the importance of the relationship between the therapist and the client. This experiential workshop will give methods of connecting on deeper levels with clients and demonstrate these ways, both with and without formal hypnosis, as well as ways of using that connection for therapy. Practice opportunities will be provided.
With cases and anecdotes, this presentation shows how a therapist can question and review classic therapeutic statements and avoid giving the client suggestions which are difficult to achieve - such as clichés like "Express your anger," "Face your fears," "Live in the here and now" - and provide new and original ways of intervention.
This two-hour experiential workshop focuses on the Family Constellation Approach of Bert Hellinger. Hellinger's unique blend of traditional notions of therapy and alternative views of healing has captured the imaginations of people around the world. Here, participants will be introduced to some of the underpinnings of the work as well as have an opportunity to step into the "field" to experience a Family Constellation as a representative, observer, or client.
According to Helmholtz, reality consists of two abstractions. One is an independent or "objective" world that needs to be adjusted by a related or "subjective" world. However, a culturally determined atmosphere of detrimental double bind communication prevents experiencing both abstractions simultaneously, i.e. yielding chronic complaints. This workshop shows how easily one-sided behavior can be adjusted through utilizing a given individual's ambivalence via eliciting hypnotic phenomenology.
This workshop explores how the Native American belief system contains ingredients to keep the mind and body in harmony and promote well-being. We will explore adding time-frames, respect and gratitude; the circle of life, and symbols as reminders of the "right" path.
