I have learned SO much from this. It is crazy to think that this information can be applied to all other fields, for me at least, being a teacher.

35:10 clinician's posture 35:44 first 4 42:11 clip with Milton Erickson 1:18:33 publicity 1:26:07 questions

This was a beautiful explanation Dr. Zeig.

Thanks for a clear explanation of Erickson's method of therapy. How come with all these really clever therapists our society is being run by people who are murderous psychopaths?

Myriad of wisdom in this clip, much appreciated

My own father, who is a reluctant healer with some real gifts, has a fondness for Milton, although he feels that Milton worked in a higher dimension, that his unconscious and higher mind, found a ground in his body. Thats just his intuition, he says he feels the words are carried on a field of attention that has an "alive and intelligent" quality to it and that the healing happened in the fusion of "Miltons" attentional field and the clients. Thereby awakening a deeper quality of aliveness

Dr. Zeig, thank you so much for sharing these videos and your personal experience. It's incredibly informative and enlightening.

Very good introduction into the world of Erickson. Thank you.

That letter from Erickson is truly wonderful. I'll be thinking on that alone for some time...much thanks for this video.

Things have improved greatly Dr. Zeig. I have listened to your videos. Quality of life for me right now.

the video starts @ 6:30

Thank you team, thank you Dr. Zeig, this truly brings us back to what Dr. Erickson was bringing in the front for connecting people with heart at the back of therapy :-)

Thank you Dr. Zeig for this very enlightening talk. I really enjoyed it.

Dr. Zeig is an experienced Therapist who has traveled all over the country. He is very good in his lectures. He also expands your vocabulary. He has taught in 40 different countries. He studied under Milton Erickson and that is in the video. The video is effective especially for Psychology, Social Work and Sociology majors. Teachers could benefit also. I would choose him as a Therapist because of his hands on experience.

This video was interesting beyond words as I'm immersed in learning and practicing hypnosis. Thanks so much for your tremenduous contributions to our understanding of this interesting and helpful subject.

Thank you so much for sharing your view of Dr Erickson, Dr J Zeig

thanks, so refreshing. Zeig was a great student for a great teacher.

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 05:53 🌍 Dr. Jeffrey Zeig discusses the global outreach of Cal Southern and its association with over 82 countries and approximately 1,500 current student enrollments. 06:09 🌐 Dr. Zeig mentions having recently been in Istanbul and welcomes friends tuning in from there and around the world. 06:50 📚 Dr. Zeig shares about how he first learned about Milton Erickson and his fascination with Erickson's papers, leading to his desire to become his student. 08:01 💡 When Dr. Zeig wrote to Milton Erickson, requesting to be his student, Erickson declined due to his age but shared the importance of motivation for change and human capabilities. 09:36 🟪 Milton Erickson had a special affinity for the color purple due to his colorblindness and was a significant influence on various psychotherapy schools and approaches. 11:22 🗝️ Dr. Zeig introduces a model for understanding Ericksonian therapy and plans to illustrate it using a case from Erickson's work. 12:17 🎯 The first part of the meta-model of intervention is setting the goal of therapy. 14:14 🧩 In an Ericksonian orientation, it is important to focus on the components of the problem rather than treating categories. 16:02 🤔 Asking the question "how do you know you're depressed?" helps create a phenomenological map of the components of the patient's experience. 17:24 🌟 In an Ericksonian orientation, therapy is solution-focused and strengths-based. 19:10 🎵 Strategic development, similar to the way a composer develops a theme, is important in Ericksonian therapy. 21:13 💡 Psychotherapy aims to awaken people to their potential and help them recontextualize their resources. 21:56 💡 People come to therapy for experiences, not just for information. 22:11 🎁 Gift wrapping the goal within a technique is a way to communicate the goal in Ericksonian therapy. 23:07 🔄 The level of indirection in therapy techniques is directly proportional to the perceived resistance. 24:14 💬 As resistance increases, more indirect techniques, like the interpersonal technique or storytelling, may be used in therapy. 24:42 💡 Techniques in psychotherapy are not intended to cure, but rather to gift-wrap ideas and facilitate change. 26:11 🎭 Metaphor and gift-wrapping can help people experientially realize and understand concepts. 26:50 🎯 Tailoring therapy to the individual's experiential language, values, and patterns is crucial. 28:12 🔄 Dr Erickson's therapy was uniquely tailored to each individual, emphasizing their uniqueness and avoiding general theoretical frameworks. 29:07 💬 Speaking the patient's experiential language is more impactful than imposing the therapist's vocabulary. 31:41 🎥 The process of therapy involves a dance of steps: enter, offer, exit, all communicated in triplets. 32:28 🎬 The main intervention in therapy can be a displacement, where a phobia is moved from the patient's body into an external object. 34:49 🎾 The power of therapy lies not only in the moment of intervention but also in the setup, intervention, and follow-through. 35:17 💼 The clinician's posture and presence have a greater impact on therapy than the techniques used. 36:11 💡 Learn who you want to be as a clinician through mentorship and understanding the importance of your presence in therapy. 41:00 😷 Despite his physical limitations, Milton Erickson exuded a sense of joy and curiosity, creating a positive therapeutic atmosphere. 49:01 🌟 Erickson's precise communication, gestures, and presence made clients feel profoundly loved and understood. 50:08 🌪️ Erickson's case presentations provided all the important details for clinicians to identify strategic points and develop treatment plans. 51:45 🎥 By prescribing the symptom within a trance state, Erickson facilitated the process of moving the symptom from the original context (e.g., airplane) to the therapeutic setting. 52:24 😮 Erickson's therapeutic approach often involved initiating hypnosis right away, prioritizing the work over extensive initial conversation with the patient. 53:33 ✨ Erickson strategically raises tension and anxiety levels to facilitate therapeutic change, in contrast to down-regulation approaches often used by other therapists. 54:43 🌬️ Erickson uses tension modulation, similar to how Beethoven modulates tension in his musical compositions, to create therapeutic impact. 55:23 🤝 Erickson obtained an absolute promise from his client to do anything good or bad that he asks, establishing an important therapeutic framework. 56:26 🔄 Erickson skillfully sets up a process of getting the patient to say "yes" to various suggestions, building rapport and opening the door for therapeutic change. 56:39 🧠 Erickson's strategic awareness and conscious understanding of his interventions enable him to effectively facilitate therapeutic progress. 57:45 🛫 Erickson guides the patient to hallucinate being in an airplane and gradually releases her fears and anxieties throughout the trance session. 58:13 🪑 The patient's phobias appear to transfer onto a green chair in the room as a result of Erickson's therapeutic suggestions and setup. 59:19 📦 Follow-through and ratification of therapeutic changes were crucial elements in Erickson's approach, ensuring the patient's progress was recognized and reinforced. 01:00:48 📷 Erickson went to great lengths to support therapeutic change by creating and mailing personalized envelopes containing symbolic representations of the patient's fears and progress. 01:02:35 🏠 Ericksonian Family Therapy employed similar techniques as individual therapy, where Erickson's family participated in the therapeutic process with the patient. 01:03:33 💌 Erickson's dedication to helping his patients went above and beyond traditional therapeutic methods, and he would think creatively to find innovative solutions for their healing. 01:04:26 😉 01:05:21 🎯 Erickson personalized therapy sessions based on individual interests and experiences of his patients, using storytelling and visualizations. 01:07:14 🛩️ Erickson utilized systematic desensitization to treat phobias, but he also used creative techniques like anger induction to block fear responses temporarily. 01:10:40 📑 Sometimes, Erickson would help patients recognize and resolve problems they were not consciously aware of, leading to unexpected therapeutic breakthroughs. 01:13:29 🪑 Erickson's therapy was often effective in resolving phobias and fears, but some symbolic associations and fears might persist even after significant progress has been made. 01:14:09 🎓 Words have the power to evoke specific thoughts and memories in people, and therapists should utilize this in their practice. 01:15:44 📝 Therapists should seek to understand the underlying meaning behind a patient's phobia or issue, rather than taking their words at face value. 01:16:11 ✅ By strategically mirroring a patient's life experiences and making them promise to do certain actions, therapists can create therapeutic breakthroughs. 01:17:23 🌟 Effective therapy involves going beyond techniques and instead focusing on being present and understanding the experiential reality of the individual. 01:19:12 🌐 The Milton Erickson Foundation organizes conferences and events related to hypnosis and psychotherapy, bringing together practitioners from different fields. 01:21:27 📚 The Milton Erickson Foundation publishes books and newsletters, and is involved in projects such as a documentary about Erickson and preserving his home as a museum. 01:26:34 😷 Erikson's experience with polio greatly influenced his understanding of human behavior and his development of perceptual skills. 01:29:20 💡 Hypnotherapy can be effective in heightening awareness for schizophrenic patients, but it may not be beneficial for paranoid individuals. Hypnosis can also be used for irritable bowel syndrome and dermatological conditions. 01:31:58 🗣️ Introducing hypnosis to a resistant client can be done by framing it as a technique that will help them efficiently and thoroughly. Overcoming resistance involves a three-step process: setup, intervene, and follow-through. 01:33:34 🤔 Milton Erickson was interested in receiving both experiences and information from people because he was continuously learning and fascinated with human responsiveness. He strived to be the best version of himself and was always present and focused in each moment. 01:36:24 💡 Displacement is not the main source of intervention, but it is one of the strategies used in therapy. Displacement can be seen in everyday human behavior and can be exemplified by the mind-body connection. 01:37:56 😲 Displacement is a utilization technique used by Erickson to transform something negative into something positive. We displace things all the time, often unconsciously, and this technique can be used to create positive change. 01:39:05 🗣️ Speaking the client's experiential language is an important aspect of NLP. Modeling excellence, such as Erickson's patterns, can help understand and replicate effective communication techniques. 01:41:22 📚 Parallel communication, such as storytelling and metaphors, is a powerful language pattern that can be more effective for resistant clients compared to direct suggestions. It utilizes stories and metaphors to activate experiential associations and convey messages in a relatable way. Made with HARPA AI

Straordinario canale, grazie.

Thanks for this! Hope can up loading many more

Thank you!

40:56 - 41:26 WOW! permeates the room around him that's a gift

Really wonderful thank you

Why not avoid the resistance entirely. Why not use all the resources the client comes up with as you interview them. Then feed it back to them. Just pay attention to the unconscious moments they have when asked questions about their issue. These mini trances will lead to a big trance where everything in the interview can be utilized for the therapy portion of the session. That also eliminates all resistance because everything is in the clients words.

Enjoyed the video!

Wonderful lecture, thank you very much for uploading to share :)

I love the Double disassociated double bind!

omg, so frustrating to cut Erickson off just as he's about to demonstrate how he responded to the client's story, this Zeig guy has made it all about him instead of Erickson

Wow - Thank you

Commenting for the algorithms

Thank you

Perspective approach is essential to diagnosis but mostly prognosis.. I would go with reexamining primary childhood relationships ... because those stick throughout the mind life aka the life symphony x

I'd love to hear Erickson in conversation with Thomas Szasz vis-a-vis technique. But they're dead.

Min 27:05 - 27:47 I never felt so understood

I just had a really weird experience... :O I was listening to this video at 1.5 times speed, and as Dr. Jeffrey was prepping for the video clip with Milton Erickson, I was recalling a previous clip I had heard, and preparing myself mentally, for having to struggle with understanding what he said... but here is were it gets weird :O When Milton Erickson started telling the story about the woman with a plane fobia, I thought my speed setting for some reason, had reverted back to normal speed, and had no struggle at all understanding what he said... then when Dr. Zeig came back on, the speed was back to 1.5 and he was explaining about the perfect sentences, and I caught myself thinking, it was weird he had to mention it, when I @50:32 realized that I had been listening at the higher speed... :D Now I have to re-listen at normal speed to get what it is he is talking about :D

You know who else understands my mind as hell? Song lyrics, they all know who i am.

NICE......CAN I GET A PDF ON COMPLETE MILTON MODEL

Just a quick question to Dr Zeig. I'm interested in why his literal framing of the Milton Erickson video placed Milton Erickson to the left and included a seemingly disinterested student to the right.

The date of the lecture must be pre-antidepression medication push 1990’s?!?

👍🏽🙏🏽

Lecture begins @6 to skip the very long introduction

Be careful with microphones guys

Can this be used to shift the focus of awareness within those who harm children?

Guys, I don't understand something. Isn't it usually taught for therapists to not intervene with the client's life and let them do the work? Why is that? And what motivated Erikson to be so invasive in his interventions?

I don't mean any disrespect, i don't know much about him, Milton Erickson, jeffrey zeig seems cool, i respect the guy for fighting against the establishment of his establishment, he says stuff like 'People come to therapy for experiences and not for information' to the whole under therapy audience, he also seems pretty good at subconscious communication lol, well so am i.

I like what you say in it's nature, but i think the most important thing about acting in such a state is the fact that when you're on them, you're not describing them, you're not rationalizing on it, just living whatever experience you are going to describe later. I believe in caring for what we don't yet understand, if you care, use their terminologies to be able to help, i can't use urs guys, those aren't mine. Bi-polarity on yo ass. Ur dad seems like a cool guy.

does anyone know the title of the black book he is reading from?

unconsciously speaking!

I get u, now I know what is done by healing client but I yet don't know how to do it. Shame, I live in Poland.

If these topics are translated in Urdu I hope still more viewers will watch these videos.., I am thinking to do this task myselfor Urdu language viewers of youtube.

i just noticed that the word connect is very similar to the word correct, every word is a verb, stick a shovel on that PILE A DIRT.

Hi Peter Its an interesting question However I did not find the woman to "appear" disinterested at all, actually, she appeared to my mind, to be rather engaged. It looked as though elements of her unconscious mind were deeply moved. But I must say, she got my attention What do you say? (about the woman?) By the way, Im just a student, so I dont really know a lot about it

Potere vedere lezioni di formazione allievo. di M. Herickson, dott. Zeig è una grossa possibilità , cotraduzioni in italiano. Grazie.

"People come to therapy for experiences; not for information" -- can someone please spell out for me the name of the person who said this?

What do i know about what isn't I, hum? I don't, I just focus on I,

30:00 rogerian vs. Milton setup

Wonder what the women next to him did afterwards and how she developed her skillset further

I hope you find the clues you need

6 min

too bad that the intuitive side of artful therapy is left out of much of this purview. An effective therapist will not have to go to cognitive categories or mental machinations, but leave most of the work to the client who knows the way better than an external change agent.

Ok thumbs down 27 mins in and the microphone knocking really beats crap into this video

Ok seriously sort out the microphones next time please All the good information gets undone by silly distractions

LOL this guy surely thinks psychologists are effective
