Description:

Milton Erickson said, “Change first then insight.” Too often therapists try to produce change by giving clients insight into their problems expecting to produce results. This approach reduces effectiveness as it overestimates the power of the conscious mind while neglecting and underestimating the unconscious mind’s role in the healing process.

Educational Objectives:

1. Describe how to distinguish conscious therapy from unconscious therapy and identify the skills needed to do therapy on both levels.
2. Utilize the unconscious change process taking place automatically within the client.
