FUNDAMENTALS OF THE ERICKSONIAN APPROACH February 6– 8, 2004

Rather than Exorcists casting out hidden trauma and deficits, therapists these days look more like treasure hunters seeking the unrecognized gems in their clients’ lives and personalities. Ericksonian hypnosis is an especially powerful tool for helping clients plumb for the best in their own natures and experience directly the untapped reservoirs of determination, intelligence, optimism and love that ultimately provide healing. In this intensive workshop, participants will learn about the latest dramatic advances for enhancing the experiential impact of therapy through trance. These methods can be applied to facilitate clinical efforts in any form of therapy with or without formal trance. Designed for both the beginner and the more experienced practitioner, this program will feature live clinical demonstrations, experiential exercises, and videotape of Milton H. Erickson.

Educational Objectives:
1. To describe the three-stage “skeleton” of an Ericksonian induction sequence.
2. To describe classic hypnotic methods.
3. To describe the use of responsiveness to minimal cues.
4. Given a patient’s hypnotic responsiveness, indicate a brief therapy approach.

Participants will learn:
· How to elicit a trance state and learn the essential elements of trance from an Ericksonian perspective.
· To enhance responsiveness through the application of novel assessment criteria based on the styles and values of the individual.
· Powerful hypnotic language forms and tools for helping patients directly experience untapped resources
· The latest advances for enhancing therapy through trance

INTERMEDIATE TRAINING IN ERICKSONIAN HYPNOSIS April 30-May 2, 2004

Based on the ingenious hypnotherapy of Milton H. Erickson, M.D., the intermediary sessions will focus on the utilization of trance states to achieve clinical objectives. Building on the skills you acquired in the fundamentals seminar, you will learn verbal and nonverbal communication forms that create optimal trance and post-trance responses; discover the structure of resistances and how to utilize them; harness indirect methods such as the interspersal technique, the confusion technique and the use of seeding and amnesia to help patients who suffer from a broad range of clinical problems. This program designed for the experienced practitioner, will feature live clinical demonstrations, experiential exercises, and videotapes of Milton H. Erickson.

Prerequisite: Participants in this workshop should have attended a basic workshops on Ericksonian hypnotherapy and use it in their clinical practice.
Educational Objectives:
1. Develop client specific anecdotes to elicit resource states.
2. Develop specific hypnotherapeutic approaches to clients with depression or anxiety.

Participants will learn:

· To apply these methods to any form of therapy with or without formal trance
· To utilize trance states to achieve clinical objectives
· To harness indirect methods to achieve clinical outcomes
· The structure of resistances and how to use them

ADVANCED TRAINING IN ERICKSONIAN HYPNOSIS April 30-May 2, 2004

Theory, Technique, Research--Each plays an important role in being an effective therapist. Accomplishment in these areas, however, does not make one a master clinician. There is something more-- a creative flair, as seen in such master therapists as Milton Erickson, Carl Whitaker, and Virginia Satir. They knew that developing one's SELF is an ongoing and never ending process, and each welcomed the challenge.
In this seminar, we will use improvisational training methods to develop our innate tools. We will model master clinicians and learn how spontaneity and discipline join to become the foundation of effective clinical work. We will work individually and in groups, to develop our lenses (ways of viewing), our muscles (ways of doing), our heart (compassion), and our hats (social roles).
Group hypnosis and growth games are integral to this systematic training, which is primarily experiential, rather than didactic.

Educational Objectives:
1. To list five characteristics which made Milton Erickson a master clinician.
2. To identify three professional strengths and weaknesses and develop beneficial, related self-development exercises

Participants will learn:
· PsychoaerobicSM exercises that can be use, in conjunction with the skills, techniques and theories learned in the first 2 seminars to increase the impact of individual, group and family therapy.
· Develop tools to make therapy more effective and more fun for both patients and clinicians .
· Apply tools to a broad range of clinical issues
