Trance Phenomena

Getting one’s hand on the control knob on non-voluntary experience Inviting alterations in:

  • Perception

  • Memory
  • Time orientation

SLIDE 33

WHY USE TRANCE PHENOMENA?

To evoke automatic changes To convince you and/or the person that they are in trance To evoke resources As an analogy for the therapeutic changes you are after

33

slide-34
SLIDE 34

HOW TO EVOKE/INVITE TRANCE PHENOMENA

General permission Presupposing Remind and evoke previous everyday experiences Analogies/anecdotes Emphasized words/phrases

34

slide-35

Notice how he evokes Notice how he persists when things don’t happen Notice the difference between the two videos, reflecting Erickson’s shift to a more permissive approach in later years

The Unconscious

Erickson maintained that the unconscious is smart, wise and benevolent “Trust your unconscious,” he would say If the unconscious is so smart, why do people have problems or symptoms?

40

slide-41
SLIDE 41

The Answer

The unconscious is smart about what it is smart about Dumb about what it is dumb about And sometimes, the unconscious is smart about something it is dumb to be smart about

The Unconscious

42

slide-43
SLIDE 43

How to use this notion to do trancework

Find the place where automatic patterns occur and lead to unwanted results Introduce changes to the pattern by evoking, altering, splitting and linking

43

slide-44
SLIDE 44

Erickson Using the Unconscious Example

44

slide-45
SLIDE 45

When to use trance

Voluntary/deliberate experiences vs. Non-voluntary/out of conscious control experiences

45

slide-46
SLIDE 46

Class of Problems/ Class of Solutions

Presenting problem Intervention Link to problem context Class of problem Class of Solutions

Generate the opposite

46

slide-47
SLIDE 47

Class of Problems/ Class of Solutions

Find a clear focus/problem Turn problems into processes How does or would a person or body or neurology DO this problem? What class of problems could it belong to? What is the opposite class (or set of resources

  • r abilities) that could resolve the problem?

47

Class of Problems/ Class of Solutions

Phantom limb/tinnitus example

Applications of Class of Problems/Class of Solutions

49

slide-50
SLIDE 50

Classes of Solutions: Pain

Anesthesia/analgesia Amnesia Dissociation of parts of the body Re-interpretation Time distortion Altering physiological processes Re-evoking previous pain-free or pain-incompatible experiences Distraction or absorption of attention Displacement Compelling connection to a future without pain
