an invitation to our certificate of learning solutions in hypnosis

We therapists are increasingly suffering from

• isolation

• lack of confidence

• a safe place to practice

• overwhelming choices of therapy approaches

• being weighed down with the strain of having to pretend to be an expert and have all the answers while knowing we don't

• dealing with the frustration of feeling stuck with difficult and complex clients

• boredom

• burnout or settling for "doing time" until the weekend, holiday or retirement!

Traditionally learning about hypnosis requires memorising a script - "Look at that spot, relax your body, your eyes are getting sleepy, etc., etc., etc.

Milton Erickson revolutionised all this by inviting us to focus on

• hypnosis as an extension of "the common everyday trance"

• the individuality of each unique client

• adapting our approach to the client, not require the client to adapt to our "wisdom"

• the client as the expert, not the therapist

• the client having the resources, not the therapist

This approach results in a huge relief as well as our effectiveness increasing markedly.

It's not surprising that there is a growing interest in hypnosis, and Ericksonian hypnosis in particular, since this approach emphasises looking with each individual person for what will be relevant for them to resolve their difficulty.

Instead of needing to memorising complex protocols, rigid scripts, standard techniques, we can have a simple, lively, creative, and mutually respectful conversation enabling each client to regain their own autonomy, their own self trust, and create their own solution.

This programme emphasises learning by doing, avoiding any need for complex theories or techniques. Recurrent practices allow the learning process to be embodied, confidently, respectfully, and securely.

This approach emphasises

• creativity, not mechanical techniques

• evoking resources and solutions from within a client, not imposing something external

• listening, not instructing

• being a partner, not an expert

• exploring, not treating

• asking questions, not giving answers

• creating solutions, not understanding problems

• focusing on future possibilities, not past limitations

• observing rather than explaining
