Eliciting hypnotic values

Hypnosis has its foundation on the relational values of collaboration and trust. These are two universal values which have existed throughout history and the world. Hypnotic communication is the skeleton key with which to open the treasure chest where patients have hidden their most profound values that have served them in their lives. During difficult circumstances clients think they have lost the guidance these values provided, and hypnosis can help them to re-establish their direction, to find the compass. A succession of values from Aristotle to the present will be presented via clinical cases.
