Course Title

Wider Mind: Ericksonian Hypno-Psychotherapy
in Practice

Description

• Learn through experience of your own naturally occurring, rhythmic states of wider internal awareness. Clear and cogent theory will interconnect with personal creativity to liberate you to communicate even more authentically and effectively with the whole person of the client.

• Explore the relationship between "conscious" and "unconscious" mind that is at the heart of all therapeutic process.

• Understand "symptoms" of distress as communication within a self-balancing organism that seeks well-being.

• Embrace "resistance" as a natural and healthy force that demonstrates your client's autonomy and uniqueness.

• Align with the client's internal "ecology" so that their process of change is organic and self-motivated.

• Learn a new relationship with language that better reflects our internal linguistic processes so that conversation can become a dynamic tool to facilitate change.

• Examine a new analysis of Dr. Milton H. Erickson's cognitive behavioural approach that demystifies his apparently "magical" interventions and tasks.

• Experience your voice, body and emotional state as undeniably influential factors in the therapeutic encounter and discipline your influence with respectful, humane boundaries.

• Differentiate the linguistic transactions of validation, permission, suggestion and instruction and become aware of their presence in the therapeutic allegiance.

• Utilise metaphor and storytelling for powerful effect as client's reshape their identity and belief systems.

• Practice the skills of observing, utilising and maintaining the naturally occurring altered state of "hypnosis" or "trance".

• Celebrate your client's own imagination as one of their key resources in healing and beneficial change.
