Hypnotheraphy is the use of trance for therapeutic purposes. Ericksonian
Hypnotherapy employs a distinctive methodology and a unique philosophy
of the uses of hypnosis that were developed by the renowned 20th
century hypnotherapist, Milton Erickson, MD. Dr. Erickson's approach
was notably client centered, rooted in the belief that patients
are fully equipped to make changes by accessing the resources within
themselves.
The working principle is that the role of the therapist
is to assist the patient, through the use of trance and other methods,
to find healing and learning.
Trance is defined as a singularly focused
state of attention. It is normal for an individual to automatically
enter a trance state for ten minutes out of every hour.
Ericksonian Hypnotherapy can readily integrate with any other form
of therapy and any school of thought.
Ericksonian Hypnotherapy distinctively credits the wisdom lodged
in the unconscious self, considering the unconscious to be anyone's
strongest ally and most powerful resource. Using attentive communication
and carefully selected inductions into hypnotic trance, the Ericksonian
hypnotherapist leads patients to tap into their own individual unconscious
minds for the improvement of their lives.
Use of Ericksonian Hypnotherapy produces effective and consistent
results for patients. This form of hypnosis has as its main intention
to promote emotional healing, not just behavior modification. It
is not a medical model, that the patient has a problem or a disease
and the clinician will "fix" it. Rather, it centers on
using the resources of the patient to the fullest, to achieve change
that is powerful and lasting.
Ericksonian Hypnotherapy has proved highly effective for the treatment
of trauma. The use of trance in this way connects to the emotional
brain and the limbic system, where trauma and negative beliefs are
stored. This form of treatment can be used with great success cross-culturally,
as it draws upon the patient's own knowledge within their own cultural
tradition.
By using Ericksonian strategies, the client is enabled and supported in going through the difficult inner process of disorganization, reorganization, reassociation, and the projecting of inner real experiences in relation to the suggestions made, and thus their conclusions become part of their experiential life instead of a simple, superficial response.
Ericksonian Hypnotherapy is one of few forms of treatment that revitalizes
the therapist in the course of doing the work. The therapist goes
into a grounded observational trance, making use of the same information
that is being suggested to the patient in a way that is congruent
with the therapist's own unconscious mind.
Training in Ericksonian Hypnotherapy teaches the therapist:
• how to interact with the patient using the language of the
unconscious and techniques for communicating with the unconscious
mind.
• how to induce a trance.
• how to use trance for healing and/or to accelerate learning.
• how to use trance to heal PTSD
