Training Trances: Multi-Level Communication in Therapy And Training

Training Trances is about how to therapeutically communicate with the unconscious mind. The authors present their own unique integration of Ericksonian techniques, traditional models of hypnotherapy, and recent research in related areas, as well as the use of trance in training design, to unconsciously install the skills being taught. Includes individual/group exercises and numerous "live" demonstrations of inductions and double-inductions. Written with insight and humor, this book's most unique twist is its use of multi-level communication and hypnotic language to create a "training trance" for the readers as they journey through the text. Some hypnotic references are obvious and explicit--those which are not obvious will create enjoyable "ah-ha!" experiences for the reader as they are discovered.

Therapists and trainers will learn:
 

	Milton Erickson's three most frequently used trance inductions
	How to use catalepsy for changework and healing (including "Ambiguous Touch")
	How to induce classic hypnotic phenomena i.e. Amnesia, Dissociation, and Deep Trance identification
	How to structure the hypnotic interview
	How to use metaphoric stories as "anchors" for change
	Protocol for Post-Hypnotic Suggestion and amnesia

The transcripts of live demonstrations and inductions recreate for the reader the experience of hypnosis and are also a rich source for linguistic analysis by the advanced reader.  This is an "unconcious-friendly" book which will prove invaluable for NLP and hypnotherapy trainers alike.
