What I am asking you to do NOW, is a “not doing”… taking a deep breath, settling in and settling DOWN.. That’s right, and by doing a not doing, you are undoing all of the knots from all of the doings, by doing a not doing!

Hi Marita,
Many times people don’t know the roots of their trauma and that makes me wonder why you think trauma lies in past lives.

If a client believes they know the source of a problem I listen but then typically follow feelings back to their source using an affect bridge or other technique. If they’re correct, we’ll get back to where they thought the problem started. If not, we’ll find out what the source really is.

For you, the answer might be to go see someone in your area. It’s probably not a good idea to try to deal with trauma in a forum.

Very interesting. Just as there is a ‘switch’ when suddenly we are asleep, there would appear to be a ‘trance ‘switch’ when in a moment a person enters into that trance state.
To relax the body and then the conscious mind seems to be one way to facilitate entering the state.
Thank you for your tips, Keith.

“Tonight you will dream. You may have wild dreams. You may have mild dreams. They may be memorial or not. In any case, let that be a sign that your UC is integrating everything I have said.” MHE

Suggested reading for anyone that loves Milton: Therapeutic Trances” by Stephen G. Gilligan — from whom I borrow heavily.

Lovely little lesson Keith. We need more people on the Erickson side. Stay well~Margie Anne

I, no matter what induction I use, find myself flavoring it with Ericsonian seasoning. For example, one of my favorite inductions is a modified Dave Elman induction. Before I begin, I will use a few suppositions like: “Would you like to be hypnotizes standing up or sitting down? ” and embedded commands: ” Before you enter the trance state, I wonder if you can remember NOW a time when you FEEL kind of floaty and drowsy…” Even with a few more embedded commands, it only takes about 30 seconds. Then I go into Elman’s direct induction: “Take a long deep breath…hold it for a moment… now as you exhale, close your eyelids DOWN…” Then, when they are in a somnambulist state, I will give them direct suggestions: “Your conscious mind may do whatever it wants to do now…it can stay listen to what I’m saying or go off to other places…but your subconscious is listening to every word I say…and responds to all my suggestions without reservations…etc.”

I am very grateful for Ericson’s contributions.
