Ego Strengthening and Resilience Building Ericksonian Style

Ego-strengthening and resilience building are the two feet upon which all effective hypnotic interventions learn to dance. This ninety (90) minute Workshop will utilize didactic instruction, group hypnosis, individual demonstration, and work in dyads so that participants will engage in cognitive and experiential learning of Ericksonian hypnotic approaches to ego strengthening and resilience building both with and without formal trance induction. Since neither construct can be engaged globally or in general, the workshop will focus on the component elements of ego strengthening and resilience building. How these can be utilized in hypnotic interventions and strategies that stimulate and enhance treatment outcomes, across patient dimensions and treatment venues, i.e. therapy room, waiting room, hospital room, examination room, or school room, will be presented, practiced and discussed.
