Description:

A person may say, “Don’t ever . . . lie to me again!” or “You can . . . always tell me the truth.” In either case, hypnotic language has been used to evoke undesirable or desirable behavior. This workshop will take Ericksonian linguistic patterns and export them into everyday environments. Exercises, role-plays, and brain storming will show how to make lasting changes in speech habits when addressing resistant family members and co-workers.

Educational Objectives:

1. To describe the difference between instinctive reactions from hypnotic responses.
2. To identify the underlying components of hypnotic language that evokes change.
