Fundamental methods of Ericksonian hypnosis and psychotherapy will be presented and demonstrated. Experiential exercises will help attendees master essential concepts, that can be applied by clinicians of any persuasion to empower treatment goals.
I will present some views on my own development as a gestalt therapist, showing through demonstrations and discussion how simple human engagement-softness, humor, focused attention and respect for the ordinary-can, in concert with techniques, generate profound personal experience.
Ericksonian approaches use both direct and indirect techniques and tailor methods to the unique characteristics of individual patients. Diagnostic categories can be used to individualize treatment. These tailored techniques are ways of "gift wrapping" ideas so that patients can best actuate effective changes. The concept of "Utilization'' and methods of processing interventions will be discussed. In Ericksonian treatment, dynamic experiences precede dynamic understanding.
This workshop will outline the EFT Way through conflict and disconnection, pain and mayhem that is a couple at war with each other. Specific interventions such as Catch the Bullet will be outlined. In the second half of the workshop, the process of attachment injury healing will also be addressed.

Hypnosis is not a thing, but a way that things happen. To make hypnosis happen a clinician needs to understand the underlying architecture of trance. Eliciting systemic components elicits trance. The grammar, context and relational elements of eliciting these components will be explained. We will develop an induction model based on three steps. This workshop will consist of lecture, demonstration and small group practice.
