Ericksonian Hypnosis, NLP and Social Psychology teach us the importance of metacommunication and the power of tone,tempo, and numerous other paraverbal elements. This seminar will focus on a particular element of metacommunication silence. Silence as it occurs within the ontext of speech and within context of our sessions. In attending this seminar, participants will experience new ways of thinking about, eliciting and utilizing silence drawing from elements of Ericksonian Hypnosis, Brainspotting, mindfulness, quantum physics, interpersonal neurobiology, and somatically oriented therapies. Attendees will be encouraged to rethink their relationship to the space between words and to develop techniques that enhance their own palette and that of their clients? amplifying effectiveness both in and between sessions. Most people look at a canvas and see the colors, the brush strokes, the form. This seminar will encourage attendees to look at the white space, those moments where the discourse slows down an all but disappears. This space is the fertile ground from which new experience grows. It is the field in which the residue of past experience can be met and transformed. In attending this seminar, participants will experience new ways of eliciting and utilizing that space by combining elements of mindfulness, interpersonal neurobiology, hypnosis and somatically oriented therapies. Attendees will be encouraged to rethink their relationship to the white space and given the space to develop their own fertilizer (techniques) so as to enhance their own palette and that of their clients amplifying effectiveness both in and between session.
