Ericksonian hypnotherapy and strategic approaches promote experiential methods of change. In combination they can be synergistic. Psychotherapy is best when clients have the experience of an alive, goal-oriented therapeutic process. Such dynamic empowering experiences pave the way for new understandings and growth-oriented possibilities.
This presentation explores Ericksonian concepts that provide a base for modeling the client’s world view, and role-modeling interventions that deal with physio-psychological problems. Related personal life experiences, professional practice and related research will be used to illustrate.

The most radical and enduring contribution of Milton Erickson to psychotherapy was the principle of utilization, which states that whatever a client presents, including negative experiences, can be positively used for therapeutic change. This presentation offers a theoretical framework for understanding how and why utilization is a generative principle in psychotherapy, emphasizing ideas of archetypal patterns, psychological sponsorship, deep structures vs. surface structures, and the central of role of skillful human presence in creating value in any experience.

Therapists often forget how easily stories reach into the hearts of clients, how much they give, teach and heal. This workshop will teach construction of effective therapy stories drawn from each person’s own life experiences and then how to make these stories an active part of client therapy.
Breakthroughs in neuroscience explain how the brain, mind and body function. The work of Siegel, Rossi, Panksepp, Shore Iacoboni, Seligman and others provide a knowledge base that can be synthesized into a deeper understanding of these processes and suggest a new theory of the neuroscience of utilization. As a fundamental element of Ericksonian practice, it can only be helpful. Like pieces of a puzzle, we can connect disparate knowledge into a new and expanding picture.
Movies are complex multi-sensory stories reflecting a specific world, transporting messages and solutions in order to provide the viewer with the possibility of identifying with the movie characters. Viewers get absorbed in movies and empathize, recognize consciously or subconsciously one’s own central topics in life. They provide the possibility of being catalysts for developmental processes that can be used in psycho-therapy. In this presentation participants will learn about the processes of watching movies and the trans-fer into therapy.
