ABOUT

The training is presented by the Ericksonian Institute of Sydney Australia (EISA), a registered training institute with the Ericksonian Foundation in Phoenix, Arizona, USA.

In the Ericksonian approach the uniqueness of individual experience is recognised and participants are taught and guided to utilise the personal resources of each person to tailor make specialised therapeutic solutions.

Hypnosis is viewed as a natural experience, occurring in everyday life and utilized in therapy.

Ericksonian therapy focuses on assisting individuals to use hypnosis to access and utilize their own unique resources and personal strengths in new ways to resolve difficulties they have struggled with previously.

Learning these skills will enhance a clinician’s therapeutic repertoire in therapy. This will enable practitioners to potentially reach more clients and increase their client base.

An increasing number of people are seeking out hypno-therapeutic treatments, particularly if offered by registered health care professionals.

These phenomena can be understood and implemented to tailor unique therapeutic approaches for individuals. The fundamental training also focuses specifically on the observational process, the language of suggestion, induction approaches, self-hypnosis for therapeutic purposes, ego-strengthening and how to utilize trance in clinical work.
