ERICKSONIAN HYPNOSIS
Respectful and Effective Therapeutic HypnosisWhat Is Ericksonian Hypnosis?
The’Ericksonian hypnosis is a modern form of therapeutic hypnosis developed by Milton H. Erickson (1901–1980), an American psychiatrist.
Milton Erickson assumed that Every individual possesses within themselves the resources necessary for change, and that the unconscious is not a reservoir of disorders, but a a source of solutions and deep insight.
Unlike traditional hypnosis, which relies on direct commands, this method aims to flexible, permissive, and indirect.
In a Ericksonian Hypnosis Consultation, the therapist does not impose a solution: he leads a process, where the person takes an active role in their own transformation.
Typical Course of a Consultation
A session of Ericksonian hypnosis at Solutions Hypnose lasts between 1 hour and 1 hour and 30 minutes (1era session).
It follows a flexible structure, always tailored to the individual:
- Welcome and Exchange:
Your hypnotherapist listens to your concerns, takes the time to understand your issues and identify your goals, all while building a relationship of trust. - Hypnotic Induction:
Through language, breathing, and focus on the body and the imagination, you are gradually guided into a state of hypnotic trance. - Therapeutic work:
Your hypnotherapist uses indirect suggestions, metaphors, stories, or sometimes specific protocols to help your unconscious mind generate new solutions for you. - Return to the normal state of consciousness:
You'll gradually return to the «here and now,» with a debriefing session if you'd like.
💡 The session isn't magic, but it often sets in motion profound changes that continue in the days and weeks that follow.
