Ericksonian hypnosis is more than a technique, it is the cornerstone of the practice of so-called strategic brief therapies. The handling of Ericksonian hypnosis, also called conversational hypnosis, aims above all to bring about change.
Milton Erickson has dedicated his life to thinking up strategies for change to help his patients break free from their problems. He quickly became interested in hypnosis and his work renewed the way of practicing hypnosis, from the second half of the 20th century . He is considered the father of brief therapies.
This interactive training is aimed at practitioners wishing to understand the tools and techniques of hypnosis as part of an interactional approach. It also offers the possibility, as a practitioner, of developing a good quality of presence, to better capture the present moment, here and now, and guide the patient towards his resources, on the path to change .
"Techniques in hypnosis as in brief therapy are thought of as relational techniques because they take on meaning in a dimension of interaction: the use of dissociated language, strategic questions, metaphors, focusing on sensory feelings or the movements, the therapeutic tasks, are actions that set the relationship in motion." Julien Betbeze (psychiatrist, practitioner in hypnosis and brief therapies, specialist in the narrative model. Editor-in-chief of the journal Hypnose et Thérapies Brèves. Pedagogical advisor and trainer for the Hypnosis Masters at LACT).
