Excellence in Ericksonian Hypnotherapy

"Excellence in Ericksonian Hypnotherapy" by Dr. Richard Nongard offers a comprehensive guide to the unique methods of Milton Erickson, emphasizing that clients possess their own resources to overcome challenges. This practical resource teaches the ARE process—Absorb, Ratify, and Elicit—alongside effective language patterns and somatic approaches to facilitate deep change. Covering a range of clinical applications such as phobias, chronic pain, and sleep disorders, the book aims to transform practitioners into empathetic, engaging facilitators of change rather than mere script-followers. With a foundation in real client stories and four decades of experience, this guide empowers readers to adapt their practice and connect meaningfully with clients.
