This two day workshop will take your change work into the 21st century. You will practice strategic forms of neuroplasticity that go way beyond “neurons that fire together wire together” and into synaptic manipulation. It’s a lot more fun than it sounds.
You will learn how to unlock memories to change early emotional learnings which are at the foundation of most client issues. You’re going to be able to integrate these processes into whatever modalities you are currently using to make sure that change is both top down and bottom up.
Understanding how to access and change neural schemas conversationally will forever change how you see and work with almost every issue. You will learn both practical and tactical ways of making the changes strategic and generative.
You will be able to explain in very simple terms the neural underpinnings of the work you do which will open up many streams of referrals from doctors and clinicians who might otherwise be skeptical of hypnosis.
Some of what you will learn:
Self-directed Neuroplasticity-This is a protocol for arming clients with different techniques to minimize anxiety, cravings and negative emotional reactivity while creating new neural pathways to rewire habituated patterns of thought, feeling and doing.
The art of therapeutic memory reconsolidation- This is the mechanism underneath most successful techniques. In this class you will learn how to instigate this conversationally as well as from inside formal hypnotic techniques. It is at the heart of a revolution in mental health that is already changing mainstream stream therapeutic interventions.
Hypnotic psycho-educational frames- You will learn how to use bullet metaphors of neuroscience as vehicles for embedded suggestions, building expectation, changing beliefs as well getting conscious buy in. You will learn how to make every moment with a client an opportunity to hone your conversational hypnotic skills.
Non-linear language patterns- you’ll practice the art of using inductive language designed to interrupt the dominant hemisphere and create a more malleable brain state. You will learn easy tricks to mastering spatial and temporal language so your pre talk does more heavy lifting than ever.
Playing with Neurochemistry- You will learn how and when to go for dopamine, serotonin and oxytocin. Like pouring miracle grow over new synaptic connections to make the change faster and easier as well as more fun and dynamic.
This is a class that will give you the skills to take your work to the next level.
