In the workshop participants will gain insight by life-demonstration how covert anchoring works and how this hypnotherapeutic method can be combined with bilateral stimulation (BLS) in a single session. Further background information and practical advice will be given to use this approach properly.
The specific steps of this combination of techniques are:
(1) Trance induction
(2) Activation of resources
(3) Resources anchoring
(4) Confrontation in sensu with the traumatic memory contents
(5) Releasing anchors during confrontation
(6) Re-evaluation of the past traumatic situation by input of a new core sentence
(7) Future pacing and post-hypnotic suggestion
The effect of this kind of intervention causes changes in trauma-related body reactions, like fear reactions, physical and emotional effects. The action described can lead to a (quiet) abreaction enabling clients to reassess traumatic events and the kind of experiences unprocessed prior to this type of therapeutic intervention.
