In Ericksonian Hypnotherapy for an Impulse Problem, Dr. Jeffrey K. Zeig demonstrates his approach to treating clients having problems with impulsive behavior. In this approach, the therapist creates experiences in therapy that increase clients' access to their hidden strengths that may be used to help reduce impulsive behavior. Hypnosis is used to heighten the client responsiveness and open up dormant resources. In this session, Dr. Zeig works with a 30-year-old woman with an impulsive spending problem to help her uncover resources she already possesses for resisting her financially harmful habit. This video features a client portrayed by an actor on the basis of actual case material. Read about precipitating events, stimulus questions, and preceding sessions with the client
Ericksonian psychotherapy is a practical process of providing tailored, dramatic, real-life experiences that activate responsiveness and dormant resources in patients. The therapist creates situations whereby patients, to their own credit, realize hidden strengths and bring them to the foreground to solve the problems that brought them to therapy. For example, depressed patients are not instructed in ways to alter their mood, thinking, and behavior; rather, they are helped to access ways they already know of doing so.
Jeffrey K. Zeig, PhD, is the founder and president of The Milton H. Erickson Foundation in Phoenix, Arizona. He received his master's degree from San Francisco State University (1973) and doctorate from Georgia State University (1977), both in clinical psychology. He is engaged in private practice and consulting, and he has taught psychotherapy and hypnosis throughout the United States and in more than 30 foreign countries on six continents.
