Milton Erickson’s counsel to “Take what the patient brings” encapsulated the utilization approach that he introduced in hypnosis and psychotherapy. This workshop is designed to enhance participants’ awareness of and ability to use the many facets of utilization that are elicited during clinical interviews. Two demonstrations will be included.
This workshop will blend Zen and Ericksonian wisdom into a modern psychotherapy which provides an efficient solution for clients’ anxiety. Instead of doing therapy, therapists are invited to experience Zen wisdom, and find a creative and efficient way to help clients finding their own wellbeing. These pathways to presence and creativity will lead you to the realization of the “Therapist’s Zen state” which not only provides a creative opening, but also makes therapeutic sessions easy and fun.
Ericksonian hypnotherapy and the Self-Relations approach are experiential methods of change. In combination they can be synergistic. Psychotherapy is best when clients have a first-hand experience of an alive therapeutic process. Such dynamic empowering experiences pave the way for dynamic understandings. Drs. Gilligan and Zeig will engage with each other and the participants to examine commonalities and differences in their work.
The unconscious mind concept and its' processes are briefly described. Trance is induced by the patient's visual description of his/her unconscious. The problem is visualized, as in a dream. Trance is deepened by placing the image of the problem into the unconscious "to see what happens."
