Psychological Resources Personal Experience and Social Relationships
Presented by Stephen R. Lankton, LCSW, DAHB, on 05-16-2008 at 9 a.m. Pacific to 10:30 a.m. Pacific (1:30 p.m. Eastern)
Milton Erickson taught that symptoms were a breakdown of relations between people. Looking at personal problems or family problems through this lens, it is relatively easy to recognize the required experiential resources that individuals need to correct most both interpersonal and personal problems. Therapy can concentrate on helping those in therapy acquire these experiences and learn to use them systematically and appropriately.
This workshop will teach three fundamental techniques that rely upon this observation and are applicable to most therapy situations. Two primary protocols are that of ideomotor revification and the other is self-image thinking. There are methods of building needed and desired resources, generalizing the resources to specific interpersonal situations. The third protocol for resource retrieval I call "putting joy in your heart"—it is literally an exercise to heighten an awareness of grounded positive centeredness. More information about Stephen R. Lankton and his work is available here.
