This workshop will identify fundamental principles of Ericksonian approaches as they pertain to group work for clients in recovery from substance abuse. Curriculum development, specific exercises and activities relevant to process and psycho-educational groups will be demonstrated. Application successes and limitations will be discussed.
The clinical evidence is unambiguous: Getting the client to actually do something in treatment makes for both a better quality and rate of recovery. Erickson was extremely skillful in developing tasks for his patients and getting them to carry them out. In this presentation, we'll consider some of the ways he was able to do that.
Participants are invited to explore and transform Ericksonian methods by creating meaningful associations to three cutting-edge conceptualizations. How the Principle of Uncertainty or of quantum potentials, for instance, is applicable to seeding & utilization; how Erickson’s existential philosophy is consistent with indicators of high Spiritual Intelligence (SQ), and how Rossi’s avant-garde proposals envelop all of them.
Ericksonian hypnotic techniques, potentiated by music, can help the angry patient learn a nonreactive relationship to their anger. The science of music physiology and research that supports the efficacy of recording your hypnosis will be presented. The legal and “fair use” of music on CD’s will be explained. Listening to hypnosis with music will allow attendees to experience this calming effect for themselves.
Milton H. Erickson, MD, understood that anxiety was often created and exacerbated by the conscious (thinking) mind, while the unconscious mind is an infinite storehouse of talents, solutions, and healing energies. This workshop will teach a brief, solution-focused, strategic, and hypnotic approach to anxiety related disorders.
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.

This workshop provides an overview of the Ericksonian theory of utilization and then explores through demonstration, clinical examples, and a brief group exercise how to incorporate a client's processes—positive and negative associations, positive goals, desired futures, ongoing behaviors--in both the induction and utilization parts of Ericksonian hypnotherapy.
This session will illustrate the Ericksonian utilization principle, which states that under proper conditions, a problem may easily transform into a solution. The demonstration will show how to develop such conditions via the experience of “generative trance,” such that positive shifts in a person’s somatic, cognitive and field experience lead to positive changes.
