Hypnotherapists risk frustration and failure when they strive to make something happen with clients – to induce them into trance and insti- gate change. A far more effective alternative is to invite clients into trance and co-discover possibilities of change. Participants will have opportunities to practice this collaborative approach to hypnotherapy.

The "creative unconscious" in hypnotherapy can be seen as residing in neither the client nor in the therapist, but in the relationship between them. This workshop will explore how the therapist can use their own experiential self to develop this special relationship, and use it as part of diagnosis, trance induction, creative problem solving and ongoing feedback.

The ability to "play" in life and in the mind is a key to both the creative process and to general happiness in life.

By tapping in on the child's natural tendency for curiosity and mastery, and utilizing the natural everyday hypnotic communication patterns within the family, it is possible to create a therapeutic "hypnotic space" within the family. The use of brief hypnotherapy from a family therapy frame can help the child/adolescent disengage from the individualistic problematic view, increasing the possibility for more lasting generative changes. Special attention will be given to the role of parents as active participants in this therapeutic process.
