- Short Description:
- Compassionate playfulness becomes the centerpiece of this experiential and deeply personal session. Betty Blue weaves Ericksonian principles, neuroscience, mirror neurons, oxytocin, and the work of Daniel Siegel and the Rossis into a practical vision of how lightness can interrupt learned helplessness and restore vitality. Through story, metaphor, guided exercises, and candid reflection on her own diagnosis, she shows how playful connection can soften suffering, activate resilience, and invite both therapist and client into a shared, transformative trance.

Through demonstrations and audience exercises, she reframes play as a form of trance, connection, and resilience that helps clients move through grief, anxiety, and darkness without losing vitality.

- Play is more than lightness, it is a neurobiological intervention. In this lively and research-informed session, Betty Blue connects interactive playfulness with trance, mirror neurons, oxytocin, stress reduction, immune function, and neuroplasticity. Blending humor, experiential exercises, primate research, and clinical stories, she demonstrates how deliberate play can loosen rigid patterns, deepen empathy, and help clients transcend suffering while strengthening connection and resilience.

- Short Description:
- An exploration of the therapeutic use of storytelling, metaphor, and anecdote as central tools in Ericksonian and experiential psychotherapy. Participants examine how vague language, pauses, and client-generated imagery invite deeper engagement of the unconscious, allowing meaning and change to emerge without direct interpretation or advice. Through clinical stories, teaching dialogue, and lived examples, the session shows how metaphor becomes a flexible, culturally responsive way to support insight, learning, and emotional movement across ages and settings.
