Unit number: HYP 207
Unit title: Ericksonian
Script-based Hypnotherapy
Credit value: 3 credits
Description: This unit teaches one form of Neo-Ericksonian work, based on the premise that the object of hypnotherapy is to allow the unconscious mind to find a way of identifying the source of the pain that presents as the problem, and to help the unconscious find its own strategy for resuming normal functioning. A complete plan for conducting sessions is provided, along with many scripts aimed at particular problems. The scripts, mostly metaphoric, will be useful to the student hypnotherapist and the practitioner seeking additional techniques. The scripts are also seen as possible strategies to use (adapted to the client as necessary) when the minimalistic approach to hypnotherapy outlined in this unit is not sufficient to produce results. Ultimately, understanding how the scripts are used will lead the confident practitioner to be able to create new scripts, metaphors and suggestions on demand.
Prerequisites: Some previous knowledge of hypnotherapy and trance induction is strongly preferred, as is some previous acquaintance with Ericksonian hypnosis and basic knowledge of the life and work of Milton Erickson. Alternatively, the student may do additional reading on those topics.
