Milton Erickson – Now You Wanted Trance
Description
Milton Erickson’s medical stories are metaphors for life itself: unfolding, shocking, amazing, humorous and tragic .. “Trust your subconscious mind; it knows more than you. ” —Milton H. Erickson, MD. “You always call it a retrospective. Two weeks too late to come up with the correct answer. You are leading your unconscious; you immediately make this answer … Trust your subconscious; it knows more than you. ” —Milton H. Erickson, MD. “It’s an individual responding to an individual.” —Milton H. Erickson, MD. “Don’t try to imitate my voice or intonation. Just discover your own. Develop your own techniques. Be your own true guise. I tried to do it like somebody else did, and it was a mess! ” – Milton H. Erickson, MD. “Discover Their Patterns of Happiness” —Milton H. Erickson, MD. “Teach them to feel comfortable in their bodies.” —Milton H. Erickson, MD. “In hypnosis, you try to change their bodily perception, their bodily understanding, their bodily experiences, their bodily reactions.” —Milton H. Erickson, MD. “You are using hypnosis not as a medicine, but as a means of creating a conducive learning environment.” – Milton H. Erickson, MD. “There are so many things in human life that we should not view as traumatic learning, but as incomplete learning, incomplete learning.” —Milton H. Erickson, MD. “There is no such thing as a decent neurosis.” – Milton H. Erickson, MD. “Pain is incomplete training.” —Milton H. Erickson, MD. – You can teach your child the importance of pain with your behavior. You can also teach your child the importance of pain-free behavior. ” —Milton H. Erickson, MD. Milton listened with his eyes. ” —Berta Erikson Galloun (Erikson’s sister) – During therapy, your patients should understand that you are not afraid to speak the truth. They are afraid of the truth and try to beat around the bush. ”—Milton H. Erickson, MD. “Now our subconscious minds often give the right idea, and then they take responsibility for it consciously and spoil it.” —Milton H. Erickson “What is easiest to see is often overlooked.” —Milton H. Erickson, MD. “Allow yourself to see what you do not allow yourself to see” —Milton H. Erickson, MD. “You can pretend to be anything and master it” —Milton H. Erickson, MD. “Sometimes — in fact, more often than it is realized — therapy can only be firmly established on a solid foundation through the use of stupid, absurd, irrational, and contradictory statements.” —Milton H. Erickson, MD. – Always turn any insult into a compliment. And it confuses the person … What are they going to do with your very stupid remark? They will try to find some meaning in it. And that’s their problem. ” —Milton H. Erickson, MD. So in therapy, when your patient says something tangential to your therapy, misunderstand it, reinterpret it, and make that tangential comment completely useless. Some patients try to quarrel with the therapist or try to direct his gaze in the wrong direction. And you can use your own stupidity to stay on the right track. ” —Milton H. Erickson, MD. “He wanted to make a father out of me. I made him a colleague. ”- Milton H. Erickson, MD. – And all this time I was treated, and no one knew about it. I discussed life, different forms of life, the beauty of life. Everyone thought I was lecturing on hypnosis — and demonstrating hypnosis. Ann also did not know that I was doing psychotherapy, she was just a good subject. I knew what I was doing, nobody else knew. Now therapy can be done and your patient makes his own interpretation, makes his own worth in what you say, and they apply it to themselves in the way they want. ” —Milton H. Erickson, MD.
Milton Erickson: “Her mother gave her one kind of instruction: the language of fear. And this is the language that she understands. I gave you advice. Student: she needed to learn the language of love … Milton Erickson: Yes. And how could I teach her this? ” “And people tend to play down the seriousness of their problems and exaggerate the problems caused by a little neurosis. And you distinguish between the problems they face and the real neurosis … ”—Milton H. Erickson, MD. “Perhaps your subconscious knows that you are not entirely sincere.” —Milton H. Erickson, MD. “Adults are just small children who have grown taller.” —Milton H. Erickson, MD “What matters is not so much what the therapist does, but what he gets his patient to do.” —Milton H. Erickson, MD. – I went from one room to another, looking around. … I hope I find something, something that will be useful to me … – Milton H. Erickson, MD. “There is no such thing as a decent neurosis” —Milton H. Erickson, MD – You don’t accept insults. You leave them with the abuser. This is his problem. And in the course of therapy your patient will come to you with offended feelings: “My husband called me ignorant, incompetent, insignificant.” – Is that all your husband could do? Does he lack vocabulary? He must have meant something, but what did he mean by using just those few words? ”And she starts to look at the insults differently. And I discredited the insult. ” —Milton H. Erickson, MD. – And the most important thing is to allow each patient to take their time, not yours, but theirs. And I look around and notice that, in my opinion, each of you developed a state of deep trance, without knowing it. “- Quote from Milton H. Erickson, M.D., from In the Room with Milton Erickson, Volume 2 Transcripts “I would ask her, ‘So you’re afraid of everything? Don’t you ever feel thirsty? Don’t you ever go hungry? You say you’re afraid of everything? Does this include water? Good food? And I put her in this position that she exaggerated and misinformed me. And she will … start checking everything she says and start doubting the all-encompassing fears. And when she begins to doubt them, then you can give her faith in this, that while she doesn’t learn that she likes to be alone sometimes. And she really likes the scenery. She really loves the sunshine. She really loves the quiet at night when she wants to sleep. She really loves to sleep. She really loves hunger. She really loves going to the toilet. And you reverse her total negativity by faking it with a lot of positive things. And there are so many positives. She may not like the color of her eyes, but she loved her eyes. ” —Milton H. Erickson, MD. “When patients are ready to cry, I go into another room, take a flower pot with a houseplant and say,“ If you feel like crying, it will save me the need to water this plant. ”And tears are good. Now, in fact, when the patient starts cry, they accumulate additional shame for themselves because they cry. Give them a flower pot and the whole complexion of the situation may change. ” —Milton H. Erickson, MD. People will think and feel the way you want, if you react correctly. It is enough just to go to the hospital and make the patient cry. I think it’s best to make them laugh. ” -Milton H. Erickson, MD
“I told him in a trance state to feel all his muscles, just get to know his body. So, you talk to him about toes, feet, ankles, knees, calves, leg muscles, back, arms and so on. The second time I saw him, I said, “Dallas, after a year of training, you have reached 58 feet. I want to tell you something and listen to me. Dallas, no matter how smart you are, you really don’t know the difference between 58 feet and 58 feet and one sixteenth of an inch. ” He agreed. I said, “You don’t know the difference between 58 feet and 58 feet and one-eighth of an inch. And I kept growing until I said, “You don’t know the difference between 58 and 59 feet.” And Dallas agreed. And I said, “All this time, you thought you could only put 58 feet. Now you know you can put 58 and one sixteenth, one eighth, one quarter, half, three quarters, 59 feet. ” And Dallas said, “That’s right.” 12 weeks later, he set the national high school record, and I just freed him from that, uh, 58-foot superstition. And that summer he came in and said, “I’m on the US Olympic shot put team. What should I do?” “Dallas, I know you can win the gold medal. I know you can win a silver medal and the shot put at the Olympics is just superstition. ” —Excerpt from “Just Superstition”: Dallas Long, in a room with Milton H. Erickson, MD. – I won a golf tournament by teaching the player to think that he is still in the first hole. He needed to be told that he is now 18th and he won. I have trained a lot of Olympic athletes. I have many Olympic gold medals – only they are in the care of others. ” —Milton H. Erickson, MD. “Neurosis is a way of clinging to things that you are not entitled to.” – Milton H. Erickson, MD. “In therapy, you focus your attention on where it should be.” – Milton H. Erickson, MD. “In hypnosis, you seek to change their body awareness, their body awareness, their bodily experiences, their bodily reactions.” – Milton Erickson, MD. “I want you to discover the difference between your thoughts and your actions.” —Milton H. Erickson, MD. “Psychotherapy is the treatment of the patient as a unique person. There will never be a duplicate of this person. And you are using the uniqueness of this person. And this person has many unknown qualities. And I found that she loves African violets. I was promoting the sympathy that she already had …. Just one visit, visiting one place where she still had energy, and then using that energy and spreading it to everyone. ” —Milton H. Erickson, MD. “I think that short term therapy can be extremely beneficial. But you have to be – make this short term therapy good for the individual. ” —Milton H. Erickson, MD. “Try to come up with an explanation tonight.” —Milton H. Erickson, MD. Student: “did you say patients are afraid of the truth?”
Milton Erickson: “isn’t it? Why would a large woman from Zeppelin come and say: “I’m a little overweight.” And a man with a belly who has not seen his legs for many years says that he is a little overweight. And why a patient who has been drinking for three months, drinks for three months or six months in a row, says, “I have a little alcohol problem?” Because they are afraid to face it. ”—Milton H. Erickson, MD. “You often hear, for example, doctors say,“ I don’t know how I did it right. I really didn’t know how to do it. When I was working in surgery, I had the idea to do it this way, so I did it is, and it turned out to be correct. ” This is what you learn unconsciously; and our unconscious learning lasts much longer. And this is not as accessible as our conscious thoughts. And our unconscious knowledge comes when it is needed ”. —Milton H. Erickson, MD. – I introduced myself and demanded that they give me a tour of the house. … I went from one to another, checking, hoping to find something that I could use … just one visit, seeing only one place where she had energy, and then benefitting from that energy and spreading it to everyone. ” —Milton H. Erickson, MD. “Now, after 29 years of horrible antisocial behavior from Joe, and 23-year-old Edie said, ‘You can, if you’re a gentleman’ —and that was Joe’s psychotherapy. In 29 years of sociopathic behavior, Joe has become a farmer, a completely different person. And if you look at society, you will see how many people were ruined by the fact that the girl rejected them, how the girl who said “yes” corrected them. and how many people have some small incident in their lives that determines how they will live. ” —Milton H. Erickson, MD. – When I work with you, I keep you in mind. … Psychotherapy is an individual response to an individual. Working with you, I seek your unique attunement to life energy, and together we make it a part of your daily life. ” —Milton H. Erickson, MD. “I woke up and said,“ Yes … I was in a trance. I know that you are more educated than me, and I know that you are smarter than me. I know that you are smarter than me. And with all this in mind, at first I thought it would be impossible to accept you as a patient. Then I realized that my subconscious was as smart as you. And so when you came, my subconscious took over. ” —Milton H. Erickson, MD. Milton listened with his eyes. ” —Berta Erikson Galloun (Erikson’s sister) “There’s always the other side of the coin” —Milton H. Erickson, MD. “When I work with you, I always think of you.” —Milton H. Erickson, MD. Student: “I have a question for you. MMM, this is when we talk about the subconscious being the smartest part, the part that really knows what’s going on, so if I can guess from this, when people get into confusing situations, it’s all their conscious mind, who was that demon? ” Milton Erickson: “Now our subconscious mind often gives us the right idea, and they take it upon themselves, consciously, and spoil it.” (Excerpt from the first volume of “In the Room with Milton H. Erickson”, MD.) “Our unconscious learning lasts much longer. And this is not as accessible as our conscious thoughts. And our unconscious knowledge comes when it is needed ”. —Milton H. Erickson, MD. “The trance state uses your brain so that you can entertain any thought and make that thought, this memory, reality, just like you can dream at night.” “Psychotherapy is the treatment of the patient as a unique person.

I was promoting the sympathy she already had. ”—Milton H. Erickson, MD. “At the right time, you can remember everything that is important” —Milton H.

You say, “unconscious, take it away,” and in fact, you will learn more about it than before. … Nothing helps to achieve this, except understanding the art of connecting to the back of your own and other people’s minds. ” —Mike Nichols “Each of us has a Sleeping Beauty, wasted potential, dying dreams. We sleep and live in a dormant twilight, never knowing what it means to live, to love the pieces of the sky that we can dig deep in our hearts; not recognizing that our salvation is always present in those parts that we have rejected, rejected, forgotten. Fear thorns get in the way of a weak attempt. The prince is courage, the kiss of faith, and this is where our life begins. ” —Party Kay Thompson “There are many things you know, but you don’t know what you know, and you can go into a trance and find that you have known them all along.” —Kay Thompson – I believe in a person’s unconscious, in that deep source from which comes his ability to communicate and love. For me, all art is a combination of these forces; art is nothing to me if it does not establish contact between the Creator and their perceiver at an unconscious level. Let’s say that love is a way of communication that we have personally in the deepest sense. All art can do is expand this communication, increase it, and reach out to a much larger number of people. In this he needs a warm core, a hidden element … I believe in art because of the warmth and love that it carries in itself. ” – Leonard Bernstein “You can observe a lot just by watching.” —Yogi Berra “Freud defined the unconscious; Erickson talked to the unconscious.
