Waking Hypnosis was first described by Wells in 1924. Dr. Rosen will give examples of Milton Erickson having used it in his seminars. Participants will explore ways of maximizing their response to autosuggestions and then there will be discussion and practice of potential applications in everyday life.
Autism, a developmental disorder, is a challenge that has been focused on from several treatment perspectives – from nutrition science to neuropharmacology. Classical and Ericksonian hypnosis offer significant advantages for improvement. A program will be presented that has been successfully applied in clinical research and practice. Its main features and case results will be presented.
An ego state may be defined as an organized system of behavior and experience. When one of these states is invested with ego energy, it becomes “the self” in the here and now. Ego states can block resolutions for therapy success because they do not normally become open and observable. Detecting and revealing the ego states that are blocking the therapeutic process is the first step in collaborating with the patient, changing the resistance to resources, evolving the ego states and giving the patients better control of themselves. Therapeutic goals are achieved by using a combination of Ericksonian Hypnosis and Gestalt Techniques.
This workshop offers a practical step-by-step approach to overcoming a multitude of the addictive disorders. The first hour presents the foundation of this comprehensive treatment which is based on learning the principles of cognitive and behavioral therapy, and the ideas of Milton Erickson and Michael Yapko. Hypnosis is the cornerstone of this treatment because “addicts” love things that help them escape their everyday reality. Hypnosis is used to target multidimensional small changes in your patient which eventually progresses into a new and lasting lifestyle. The second hour presents a live clinical demonstration of an assessment of a person, their addictive problem and its hypnotic treatment.
This technique is among the most crucial to good therapy. Participants will be guided through several exercises to help them learn and practice the construction of six forms of indirect suggestions and four forms of binds. A demonstration using these forms will illustrate the implementation of this set of language techniques for the induction and treatment process. The use of indirect suggestions in further treatment will be outlined.
Giulia’s story began almost 30 years ago while Milton Erickson was still with us. He offered amusingly bizarre suggestions to us about what to do with her. Those suggestions lead to several metaphors which helped her to create an escape plan from the “zoo” in which she was trapped.
No matter how hopeless or severe a clinical problem, Erickson always seemed to know of something that could be done. Without a road map to explain their construction, the complexity of his ingenious techniques is intimidating. However, Erickson formulated his overall approach using a few simple strategies. This deeper level of understanding can be learned by almost anyone and is especially important when using powerful therapeutic techniques.
This workshop will include demonstrating a smorgasbord of opportunity to engage the patient - the problem, the trance, and solutions; Interviewing for a sense of experiential style, idiosyncratic language and learned skills; Utilizing repeated trances of different sorts by each presenter with a volunteer. This will be interspersed with discussion and practice sessions for participants.
Demonstrations of how the ideodynamics of Erickson's hand levitation approach is expanded into a variety of innovative approaches to the replay and positive reconstruction of negative dream experiences.
Fundamental in Ericksonian work is expansion of perspectives rather than removing problems. Learning to hear underlying meanings in clients’ stories, enlarging those and then presenting new perspectives in direct and indirect ways clients are willing to hear will be demonstrated with a volunteer. There will be discussion and audience questions.
