Description:
This workshop presents the Ericksonian and Self-Relations Psychotherapy approach to human states of suffering: depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction, etc. This practical and positive approach assumes that each core human experience has equivalent potential to be positive or negative, depending on the human relationship to it; and thus focuses on how problems may be transformed to resources by skillful human connection. Multiple techniques and examples for will be given, along with an exercise and demonstration.

- Identify a therapeutic approach that accepts and transforms symptoms and problems, rather than trying to get rid of them.
- Describe and demonstrate three techniques by which a person can change a negative state to a positive one.
