Is enlightenment possible? We propose Erickson’s naturalistic – utilization therapy and Rossi’s 4-Stage Creative Process are consistent with yoga’s science of self-inquiry, mental dexterity and Buddha’s 4 Noble Truths. We will practice gentle yoga exercise for all fitness levels and share transformational stories of our new neuroscience of mind-body therapy.
The administration, rationale, and research on the Creative Psychosocial Genomic Healing Experience will be explained and experienced by the entire audience. An individual volunteer from the audience will gain personal confidence in utilizing the 4-stage creative process in therapeutic hypnosis and psychotherapy.
Zen is a venerable tradition, illuminating inner nature. Neuroscience corroborates that Zen enhances mind and brain in extraordinary ways, helpful for therapy, and this workshop describes new findings. Participants are guided into the Zen experience—open and aware. They will enhance their hypnotherapeutic sensitivities and learn Zen methods for working with clients.
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.
This workshop, based on Carol and Bill’s new book, will offer a new approach for psychotherapy that incorporates the latest neuroscience research and identifies the seven neural circuits that clinicians can help turn on and off for change. The workshop demonstrates how to regulate states of mind to manage emotions and behaviors. Using integrative principles from clinical hypnosis, biofeedback, and meditation, therapists learn how to help their clients use resourceful mind states to reduce stress and achieve personal mastery.
Using a developmental lens is powerful to lead couples to make sustained change. Learn to use developmental principles to assess what is wrong and to direct your treatment decisions. Recognize arrested differentiation and see differentiation in action. Videotapes and clinical case examples will be used throughout the workshop to demonstrate how to promote development in hostile and conflict avoidant couples.
The brain is involved with everything we do, especially our relationships. In this fun presentation Dr. Amen will discuss different areas of the brain involved in relationships, what they do, what happens when things go wrong and how to improve them. You are a better marital therapist when you understand the brain.
Revolutionary research in neuroscience documents how experiences of (1) Novelty, (2) Environment Enrichment, and (3) Mental & Physical Exercise can optimize gene expression, brain plasticity (brain growth), and mind-body healing. We will learn how to use our highest and most inspired states of consciousness to facilitate optimal gene expression and brain plasticity while healing stress and trauma.

BT10 Workshop 38 - What Makes Us Human? The New Neuroscience of Therapeutic Hypnosis & Psychotherapy - Ernest Rossi, PhD
Live demonstrations of “The Creative Psychosocial Genomic Healing Experience,” our new, easy-to-learn 20 minute protocol for facilitating the ideo-plastic faculty of therapeutic hypnosis & brief psychotherapy. Why bust your chops trying to make sense of the old, out-of-date Stanford and Harvard Hypnotic Susceptibility Scales that never were appropriate for optimizing “What makes us human?”
