Description
The very idea that “Accepting the unacceptable” is a vital part of a well-lived life may have aroused a visceral and emotional response in you as it does in me. Few things are as difficult or as important in enabling us to adjust to the everyday and extraordinary challenges of life: Illness, disappointment, death; human-caused climate change, a global pandemic, political and social earthquakes. Lack of acceptance, although vaunted in our culture as a sign of strength and determination, mires us in intense and lasting suffering, rendering futile our efforts, and stalling our lives.
Hypnosis enables us to draw on conscious and not-yet-conscious aspects of ourselves to find a way to engage differently with the unacceptable, to discover that acceptance does not have to mean acquiescence, to envision ways of being with and responding to the unacceptable that allow a fuller, more meaningful life. In the second of this two-part workshop, we’ll briefly review the main ideas from part one. Then, we’ll apply a six-step model for enabling acceptance of the unacceptable to clinical cases submitted by participants. We’ll describe hypnotic strategies to explore and address threats to self- and world-view that underpin difficulties with acceptance. We’ll identify hypnotic approaches to ambiguous loss and apply these to the ambiguous loss of climate change. You are welcome to attend part two even if you didn’t attend part one.
