Supportive neuroscience research explains. Includes demonstration.

BT14 Short Course 14 - Tapping into Reserves You Never Knew You Had Using Your Personal Power - Norma Barretta, PhD and Philip Barretta, MA, MFT
In the brief treatment of trauma, using hypnosis, not only amplifies the benefits, it also shortens the treatment time. Creating just the right metaphor, choosing the best language patterns, and using the patient’s ( as well as the therapist's) own resources can intensify and direct the deep desire for healing far more quickly than traditional therapy ever could. Tapping into their mutual personal power, enables the intervention. A demonstration of anchoring resources will be part of this short course.
