Therapeutic Hypnosis
Friday, September 16th, 2011Hypnosis and NLP have a shared lineage and the work of Milton Erickson really underpins much of the early work bt Bandler and Grinder – the meta-model stems from work with Milton.
One of the key differences between Hypnotherapy approaches and NLP is that the later tends to be ‘now’ and ‘future’ solutions focused – traditional Hypnotherapy can be focussed on the Initial Sensitising Event, hence have a historic – cause focus.
Of course both approaches are valid and are part of an effective therapists toolkit.
Milton Ericksons genius, however, was his use of therapeutic metaphor – stories if you like.
Telling transformational stories to the unconscious mind can have powerful and life changing effects.
As a working practitioner I would heartily recommend those unfamiliar with Erickson to track down a copy of “And my voice will go with you” – an inspiring read.
The next Inspire MLP training is in Cornwall (Penzance) and starts on the weekend of the 8th and 9th October. It is a Diploma in Therapeutic Hypnosis.
