Conversation Between Adam Eason and James Tripp
The reason we have added this here is that this conversation in a webinar held in June 2014 is very enlightening about Adam’s approach to hypnosis and especially the cognitive behavioural slant which he has adopted in his hypnotherapy work and training. This will give you a great introduction to Adam’s pathway to this model and also a flavour of the subject matter and how he teaches it.
Evidence Base
Hypnotherapy has a very impressive evidence base.
The field, and the majority of front-line hypnotherapists are still very unaware of the breadth and depth of that evidence base. Many are still using processes and techniques that they have been taught that carry no evidence at all and wondering why they are not getting the most impressive results in therapy. Remember, results get you more clients and an impressive reputation – they are at the heart of my own successful 15 year professional hypnotherapist career. I realise that some of what I write next is going to result in some of you turning away from this page, perhaps because you were taught by someone who truly believed in the following protocols and processes and in turn you have entrenched yourself in a particular approach that you love….
- I know that and found it a very bitter pill to swallow to find out so much of what I was originally taught needed updating.
- I wrote a bestselling book with the notion of the subconscious mind at the centre of it – so it was really tough for me to let go of that notion!
- Regression and psychodynamic approaches lack evidence and are considered by many academics to be potentially dangerous and unethical, let alone less efficacious than cognitive behavioural approaches.
- NLP has virtually no evidence base, yet many of the proven flawed principles at the heart of it are still widely used by those who do not know any better.
- Erickson’s model has been shown to lack evidence and has been turned into something which Erickson certainly did not intend.
The cognitive behavioural approach to hypnotherapy offers strongly evidence-based techniques and strategies.
- It has academic underpinning which stands up to scrutiny and peer-review.
- It offers you a very responsible and ethical way to treat clients.
- The conventional medical professionals will treat you seriously and you’ll stand out over and beyond your provincial professional peers when equipped with this kind of skill set.
These five days are ram-packed with information and skills. I mean this is a very intensive course. You get a lot of standardised scripts to employ within your professional practice straight away, but you also learn strategies and protocols that require no script at all. Read the enclosed prospectus to get a flavour of some of what I include.
