Chelsea Gabriel - Multiple Approaches
to Challenging Clients

Our next meeting is February 11th and we're lucky enough to have
Chelsea Gabriel coming to speak to us. In a future email I'll
give you more specifics about Chelsea's background and
qualifications but let me just say now she's worked with some of
the biggest names in the field. I'd like to tell you a little bit
about how I came to know of her.

There's a lot of "splainin'" going on when it comes to learning
about Milton Erickson but very little in the way of tools to help
you gain direct experience in using Ericksonian techniques.
Several years ago, when I was looking for ways to help me better
utilize Ericksonian hypnosis techniques, I ran across Chelsea's
"Fancy Fluff Chart." I've got to tell you, I was impressed. It's
a simple tool to help you in automatically generate Ericksonian
language patterns. Chelsea's chart helps you to take esoteric
Ericksonian concepts and easily try them out yourself. This helps
you to experience what the patterns FEEL like and therefor helps
you to actually build skill!

I though "Here's someone who understands not only hypnosis, but
how people learn!"

Chelsea will speaking on "Multiple Approaches to Challenging
Clients." I can't wait. I hope you'll join us.

Hypnosis in the news

I'm collecting articles and news items about hypnosis and
forwarding them to you via this newsletter. Some of them may be
useful to you as resources to print out for clients or give you
ideas for new markets. Enjoy and let me know what you think.

Self-hypnosis may help children get through unpleasant medical
procedures.

Study shows that 60 per cent of patients with various problems such
as depression, phobias, anxiety, chronic pain, migraines and
irritable bowel syndrome were helped with hypnosis.
