Show Notes for Episode 197
- The Ericksonian Model is highly indirect
- Erickson's methods are still incredibly effective today!
- People tell you their metaphor as they explain their problems
- We detect incongruence in the ellipsis at the end of a sentence...
- If you're reading AT someone your attention is divided
- Karl Smith is an amazing direct hypnotist!
- "You'll get much better results with an expectant attitude than an offhand one" - Milton H. Erickson
- If you're hypnotizing a murderer, don't smile when you're looking expectantly!
- Pacing and leading is crucial in Milton's hypnosis model
- Direct attention, not the subject's action when doing revivification...
- Motivation is a nominalization. It's not something you have to get. Do what you need to do and get results!
- "I want to talk to the part of you that would love to go into a trance..." - Mike Mandel
- Learn to pace and lead really well!
- Utilization and Incorporation are vitally important in Erickson's work...
- Utilization uses whatever the client does
- Incorporation uses whatever happens externally to the session (sounds, disturbances, etc.)
- Utilization USES and Incorporation brings IN
- The Voice is a really powerful thing to use!
- Remember to incorporate when doing self-hypnosis too!
- Do don't have to talk like Erickson or a psychotic clown while doing hypnosis!
- You must demark your hypnotic voice from your day to day normal voice...
- Use an appropriate hypnotic voice!
- Yes Sets and Compliance Sets are great Ericksonian tools!
- Yes sets remove resistance. Compliance sets build positive momentum...
- Yes sets build rapport and heteroaction too!
Special Report from Hypno-North, Meaford Ontario!
- Use the subject's actual words. It will increase rapport, so don't interpret!
- The neverending sentence is really powerful! Use linkages and just keep running with it...
- Use metaphors! Tell metaphors and use their metaphors! Ask what their metaphor is...
- Use embedded commands to enhance your skills! Make sure they aren't too obvious or the conscious mind will detect and resist them...
