ATTEND THIS FASCINATING TRAINING SESSION AND LET DR SHORT TAKE YOU ON A JOURNEY from the history of Milton H Erickson’s work, through to how to do Ericksonian therapy in your daily practice and how to achieve wonderfully surprising results with your clients.

It is often said of Erickson that he was a creative genius. Every practitioner can employ the attitudes and habits of thought that make the Ericksonian approach so effective. What makes this approach to hypnosis and therapy so rewarding is not only the surprising accomplishments produced by the client but also the rich rewards of creativity and new learning that the therapist gets to enjoy on a session by session basis.

You will learn how to use the same reasoning and clinical strategies that Milton Erickson used to successfully assist clients with a multitude of problems such as:

› Trauma, › Mental Health Issues, › Relationship issues, › Substance misuse and other such issues.

The course will take you through the underpinning foundations of Ericksonian Hypnotherapy. By the time you complete this course, you will know how to do hypnotherapy without the need for structured hypnotic inductions, without the need for hypnotherapy scripts, and without the need to struggle against “resistance” to therapy.

› Tailor what you do to each client as an individual. › Use advanced communication skills in a wide range of life

situations. You will be prepared to utilise almost any response clients give you to help them achieve their goals in therapy.

› Learn about the importance of observation skills. › Recognise subconscious needs & learn how to work with

those needs. › Think more like Erickson and thus see greater opportunities

for creativity and the reduction of human suffering, regardless of the condition or unfortunate circumstances.

If you have trained in hypnotherapy, counselling, coaching, NLP or other similar fi elds, Ericksonian hypnotherapy should make great additional skills for your tool-box to use with clients you have been trained to work with.

Dr. Dan Short is considered one of the leading experts in the next generation of Ericksonian hypnotherapists. He teaches internationally and has partnered with Scott Miller to conduct clinical trials of Ericksonian Therapy. Dr Short has recently authored “Core Competencies of Ericksonian Therapy” which is a treatment manual that makes this research possible, and also the highly acclaimed text “Hope & Resiliency: Understanding the Psychotherapeutic Strategies of Milton H. Erickson”.

Members of the Erickson family and Erickson’s most famous pupils identify him as as one of the most important new leaders within this expanding global movement.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

» Learn how to use therapeutic suggestion effectively both inside and outside the context of hypnosis.

» Describe how to create a profound experience that produces transformational outcomes that defy ordinary, conscious scepticism.

» Identify multiple ways to work with indirect suggestion. » Explain the role of permissive suggestion in strengthening self-

determinism and internal locus-of-control. » Be capable of responding constructively to problematic or

destructive client behaviours. » Experience personal growth as a result of working

collaboratively and creatively with clients.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

» Hypnotherapists or those with hypnosis training that would like to learn about the Ericksonian conversational approach to therapy or about the use of indirect suggestion.

» Psychotherapists, coaches, NLP Practitioners and counsellors that want to expand their skill sets and acquire continued professional development.

» Beginners with little or no experience with hypnosis and hypnotherapy that are highly interested in learning more about duality of mind and how to work effectively with both conscious resources and subconscious resources.
