Milton Erickson taught that symptoms were often the result of troubled relationships originating in childhood that repeat themselves in the problems adult clients bring into therapy. These relationship-based problems shouldn't be thought of as personal pathology. Instead, they're primarily unconscious communications about the inner resources clients need to use more effectively in their relationships, or about learned limitations that clients need to overcome. The therapist's job is to assist clients in identifying and experiencing these inner resources and skills, and help them learn to use them systematically and appropriately in their lives. In this workshop, the presenter will teach a powerful and effective technique to help clients unlock and apply their needed resources in interpersonal situations and clear trauma-induced blocks that inhibit their ability to tap into their own possibilities.
