This workshop will teach you the elements are Ericksonian Hypnosis that are at the heart of effective change.  Do you want to be a better hypnotist, and create subconsious change naturally and with confidence?

Storytelling and metaphor has been a part of almost every significant approach to healing and psychology since the beginning of time. We often learn the most about ourselves, by looking through the window of story. Stories, parable, fable and metaphor can have a profound impact on client response and this workshop will teach you how to use storytelling effectively for therapeutic purposes.

Evidenced based protocols, like ACT Therapy, depend on metaphor for success. The ideas of Milton Erickson and his approach to metaphor have had enduring response. In this workshop you will learn the keys to using some of the most effective approaches to therapy by mastering the art of storytelling in therapy.

In this workshop you will learn:

How storytelling can be integrated into both work with children and adults
What stories produce specific responses
Specific stories, metaphors, fable and parables you can integrate into your counseling
How to use story to confront with empathy
How to use story to motivate the unmotivated client
How to use metaphor to make suggestive change even more effective

This workshop is for those working with adults, teens and children. It is appropriate for those who consider themselves to be master story tellers and those who struggle to use creative storytelling in therapy. You will get printed scripts for therapeutic purposes, and learn how to use these resources to help clients make lasting change..

Richard Nongard, LMFT and James Hazlerig, MA will facilitate this workshop. Both are master storytellers and experts in using motivational storytelling to facilitate change. James and Richard have collaborated on many textbooks in both counseling and clinical hypnosis, and you can expect this to be not only a practical workshop teaching you new skills, but one of the most interesting and most fun workshops you will ever attended.

Hypnosis coures

Hypnosis is a human condition involving focused attention, reduced peripheral awareness, and an enhanced capacity to respond to suggestiom.

There are competing theories explaining hypnosis and related phenomena.
Altered state theories see hypnosis as an altered state of mind or trance, marked by a level of awareness different from the ordinary state of consciousness.
In contrast, nonstate theories see hypnosis as, variously, a type of placebo effect, a redefinition of an interaction with a therapist or form of imaginative role enactment.

During hypnosis, a person is said to have heightened focus and concentration.
Hypnotized subjects are said to show an increased response to suggestions.
Hypnosis usually begins with a hypnotic induction involving a series of preliminary instructions and suggestion.
The use of hypnotism for therapeutic purposes is referred to as “hypnotherapy”, while its use as a form of entertainment for an audience is known as “stage hypnosis”.
Stage hypnosis is often performed by mentalists practicing the art form of mentalism.
