Steve Andreas: Resolving Anxiety swiftly by directly modifying its unconscious auditory and kinesthetic process aspects.
Anxiety, like other disorders that motivate individuals to seek therapy, is caused by unconscious processes over which they have no conscious control. Regardless, the majority of anxiety therapies include revisiting previous experiences, facing concerns through exposure, reaction avoidance, disputing with internal voices, and other tactics aimed at modifying conscious processes. We may, however, swiftly modify the internal unconscious auditory and kinesthetic process that happens in anxiety by evoking the detailed internal unconscious auditory and kinesthetic process that occurs in anxiety. This procedure may become your “go-to” method, a recipe that will allow you to quickly help your customers overcome fear.
This presentation will teach you:

A straightforward, step-by-step procedure that will significantly reduce your client’s fear (a big promise, I know, but it does work).
How to evoke the nonverbal sensory aspects of the internal voice that prompts the sensation (this can prevent many anxiety reactions from starting in the first place).
How to elicit and modify the “cascade of kinesthetic emotions” that is the characteristic of anxiety reactions (and without which anxiety cannot exist in detail).
Find the distinct path that anxiety takes through your client’s body (or experience, if you want) so that he or she may alter the path and minimize or eliminate anxiety.
You will witness two complete demonstrations of the anxiety-reduction technique so that you can grasp it and begin using it with your clients right away.
Avoid the pitfalls of many psychotherapy approaches that might make anxiety improvements difficult (if not impossible) to achieve.

Dan Short, M.D.

Dan Short, PhD: Using Hypnosis in the Context of Problem Solving Therapy to Treat Anxiety
Anxiety is a fear and anticipation disorder. It is the avoidance of both known and unknown hazards through the use of fewer actions and thoughts. As a result, there is a decreasing sense of what can be done.
Because anxiety is characterized by tension, restlessness, and shortness of breath, hypnosis is frequently used to promote relaxation, ease of breathing, and an overall sensation of safety or security.
While the client may enjoy the momentary hypnotic alleviation, it offers little to address the underlying issue. In other situations, counseling may even serve as a kind of avoidance. While teaching the client how to employ self-hypnosis to obtain comparable states of relaxation outside of the office is beneficial, there is much more that can be done.
Rather than focusing on symptom eradication, Ericksonian-derived problem solving therapy tries to improve the client’s sense of ability, purpose, and enjoyment. As a result, the overriding objective is to teach the worried client to confront (rather than avoid) the issues that characterize his or her existence. Hypnosis is utilized to build therapeutic challenges that reveal previously unknown skills. This directs the client’s attention to what he or she is capable of. As the client’s perception of competence grows, so do the obstacles, until the client learns to value the chance for progress that comes with every difficulty. This conference includes two lectures by Dan Short, one of which includes a full hypnosis demonstration and a third which is a recording of the follow-up coaching call.
You will discover:

The limitations of conscious mind anxiety solutions and how to assist your client in expanding their sense of self so that anxiety decreases.
Ways to access and use unconscious resources such as dreams, intuition, hunches, and laughter.
How to plan and arrange your sessions so that you may be of the most use to your clients in the long run.
When are diagnostic categories useful and when are they not? (plus, the crucial skill of using the uniqueness of each client to effect change).
Personal development of Dan as a therapist and Ericksonian (and how it might help you evolve)

Dan Short, PhD, is well recognized for his work in Ericksonian hypnosis and is the principal author of the best-selling book Hope and Resiliency. Transformational Relationships is his most recent publication. Dr. Short has been a member of the Ericksonian Congress faculty since 1996. Dr. Short has his own clinic in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Dr. Rob McNeilly: Anxiety Treatment: From Managing to Healing
Anxiety is felt differently by various people and has varied impacts on them. Rather of looking for a miracle cure for anxiety, this lecture presents a straightforward daily approach to anxiety treatment. Exploring what someone enjoys doing is a respectful way of discovering and connecting someone suffering from anxiety with resources and experiences that they are unaware of, have forgotten, or have yet to learn.
Hypnosis adds a delightful dimension to discussing the problem and the solution by creating a bodily felt experience of the desired outcome with each unique individual, and so by identifying what is missing for someone, exploring what they like to do, and connecting with what is missing for them, we can assist an anxious person in learning that preferred experience.
You will discover:

How to discover what would be beneficial for each individual in order to heal their anxiety.
How to connect each person to this resource.
Connecting resources in the client’s life and future to generalize changes across contexts.

Dr. Robert McNeilly worked in a suburban Melbourne general medical practice for ten years, had the privilege of learning directly from Milton Erickson, was inspired by his human approach to therapy, and developed his own interpretation to assist clients with the human dilemmas that affect individuals, couples, and families in a respectful, dignified manner.

In 1988, he founded the CET to bring Ericksonian Hypnosis and the Solution Oriented Approach to hypnosis, counselling, and coaching to Australia. For more than 30 years, his teaching style, writing, and unique approaches to learning and therapy have been recognized locally, nationally, and internationally, including invited presentations at the Milton H Erickson Foundation’s International Congresses in the United States since 1980 and workshops in Singapore and Denmark since 1999. Students praise his easygoing, respectful demeanor, as well as his elegant ability to make complex issues approachable while retaining their essence.

Global High Intensity Activation. What Somatic Experiencing Practitioners Call “Anxiety”

Irene Lyon, MSC: Global High Intensity Activation. What Somatic Experiencing Practitioners Call “Anxiety”
Do you ever hear your clients say:\s“One moment I’m fine, but then the next my heart is racing and I’m so scared full of anxiety, panic and fear, even though I’m theoretically ‘safe’ – it just doesn’t make sense!?”
If this is a common occurrence in your practice, then it’s important to understand, from a physiological, survival and central nervous system level, what could possibility be sending a person into such high arousal, when there’s no immediate threat or stressor present.
The groundbreaking work of Peter Levine, founder of Somatic Experiencing, categorizes individuals with this kind of intense fear and anxiety as living with Global High Intensity Activation (GHIA) (GHIA).
In GHIA, the individual experiences has little capacity to self-regulate (self-soothe) their nervous system with ease. They live their lives in a high state of control with low levels resiliency: which in turn, lead to less than optimal conditions for living life to its fullest.
These clients have little to no capacity to differentiate stimuli from the external environment, as well as in their internal bodily sensations, and will often experience all forms of arousal (happiness, anger, fear, surprise etc.) as bad and frightening.
The causes of GHIA are vast, but in addition to growing up in an unsafe home environment, wherein threat and helplessness was the norm, events such as pre- and peri-natal trauma (fetal distress, birth trauma, early surgeries), high fevers, suffocation, choking and drowning will also contribute to an overall quality of fear and ‘near-death’ which imprints onto the organism, until nervous system regulation can be re-establish.
You will discover:

The basics of the fight, flight, freeze survival instincts and the consequences of them being stuck “ON” for too long.

What titration and pendulation is, and why it’s an essential first step in working with GHIA.

Why working at the kidney/adrenal interface, a new field of study, is showing promising results for the restoration of nervous system regulation.

The importance of recognizing defensive-orienting responses in your clients so you can be aware of procedural memories that are trying to de-activate and find completion.

When working with these clients, we must teach them how to contain their experiences as well as work towards establishing physiological safety – a difficult but essential task, especially since the hallmark of this global intensity is that safety, most likely, never existed.
Irene Lyon, MSC. is a nervous system specialist and therapeutic coach who helps people transform their bodies, businesses, relationships and lives through healing and regulating their nervous systems via the power of neuroplasticity. She is a master in the mind-body healing arts, namely Somatic Experiencing and Feldenkraisian Learning and holds two degrees in exercise and biomedical science.
