- Using a video of Kay Thompson's brilliant conversational induction with a young dentist, we will explore her masterful focus: 1) by studying her own outline of how she uses words and metaphors to lead (and follow) her subject's journey from conscious to unconscious; 2) by looking at the transcript - a map of where she is going; 3) then by watching, as she journeys with her subject through various states from nervousness and confusion to wonder and joy.

- Short Description:
- Metaphor primarily activates the client’s sub-dominant hemisphere, and this can be utilized without knowing the content of the problem. Asking a client to discover more about their metaphor for a problem is a way to communicate directly with their unconscious understandings, which are often the keys to making useful changes.

- Known as The Wizard of the Desert, Dr. Milton Erickson is revered for his therapeutic genius, his brilliance as a hypnotist, and his encouragement for therapists to utilize all available resources, both their own and the clients’. One of those resources described by Dr. Erickson as a level of perception not necessarily conscious is what typically we call intuition. In this didactic and experiential workshop we will examine the therapeutic utilization of intuition from the perspective of three clinical phenomena of an Ericksonian approach.
