Happy Birthday Milton H. Erickson (December 5 1901 - 25 March 1980) Thank you for your greatest contributions to the field of hypnosis. To Erickson, your sharp sensory acuity, inspired. Blessings and Awareness from Australia

The life and career of Milton Erickson would make for the best NetFlix series of all time, that is, if told accurately and in done so to honor his work, revealing his genius and his great contributions to psychotherapy as he was essentially blazed the trail for an entire new industry that would transform the lives of countless people. It could be based on running parallel time lines, one of his childhood and teen years and the struggles and challenges he faced especially with polio. The second timeline would be of his career, the challenges that came with being essentially ostracized from the mental health industry but especially the incredible stories of the patients he helped including the lady with gap in her teeth. Each episode can introduce a new patient he helped, their interactions, and the fascinating methods he used to help them break free, somewhat like we see on the show House. I think the most epic scene of such a series would be of Milton in his youth, paralyzed from polio, sitting alone in the middle of a misty field at sunset, when he throws himself off of his wheelchair, and proceeds to crawl as far away from his chair as he could which forced him to then crawl all the way back, all to force himself to prove his doctor wrong and eventually walk again. Tell me that wouldn’t be epic??

[@kirbfx]

The best title of the series I can think of would be ‘The Wizard of Awe’

[@apekshatiwari208]

Yeah

[@williamkraemer]

I hope someone makes that movie.

[@divineone2135]

@@williamkraemer Definitely I could see that if the Hypnotherapy community that have so much respect for his work and are using his methods and truly are the real ones making the change and being a force for good put the heads together.

I love Erickson's view on auto-hypnosis. Thanks for sharing this valuable video segment. Another confirmation that we can trust the power of our subconscious mind, because it knows more about us than anyone else.

[@resilienceleadership]

Finding this channel is an added bonus to what my subconscious has been leading me to. After reading several of Ericksons book over the past month, this is like candy 🍭 to a child! Thank you for putting all of this together and for adding subtitles. Reminds me of what happens when this diagnosed ADHD adult does when she meditates, the subconscious knows more.

[@ericksonfoundation]

We are glad you found our channel and are enjoying the videos! Thank you!

[@heartandmindovercome3214]

Yeah I agree this stuff is gold. Love it, love this channel, and the foundation! What's up with the tag under the video? Having that tag there about "accredited health authority" almost presupposes, or implies this man was not that. What a joke 😂. I guess mainstream medicine/therapy will never give up the frame that only they hold the key of knowledge, and are the only authority on what is deemed to be effective treatment. Keeping people coming back keeps the money flowing in I guess. Also, having the knowledge of gaining rapport with, and being able to positively influence the unconscious mind potentially gives individuals much more power, peace and sovereignty over themselves. Which is, once again, troublesome for those wishing to make more money. Apologies for bringing a discussion like this here, as this is a wonderful educational channel. But tags like that annoy me, because it could potentially steer individuals new to this school of thought away. It's obvious that nobody is implying that these videos are an accredited curriculum in themselves. They're for professionals to gain deeper insights.

[@behypnotherapy]

Wonderful example. Thank you

[@VenusLover17]

Very interesting approach. Thanks so much

[@krass76]

Thank you very much for sharing this, Dr. Zeig, the effectiveness and efficiency he demonstrates are astonishing! Another Aspect I've found fascinating is Ericksons utilization of the unconscious for learning/understanding and strategic thinking. But I haven't yet found out how to "let the unconscious have a look". I know there is nothing payed attention to that evades the unconscious but there is a lot not payed attention to that the unconscious perceives, fully. I'd like to give my unconscious more of a way of expression than "good ideas out of the blue", and even give it more "time" to do whatever it needs to do, processing-wise. Maybe it would be interesting for you to do a video on what is basically "empowering the unconscious". And I'm sure we (your viewers) could learn a lot here, even though it might stray a bit from pure therapy!

[@ericksonfoundation]

We are glad you enjoyed the video and thank you for the suggestion!

[@krass76]

@@ericksonfoundation thank you for considering! even just a "where and how" to start empowering the unconscious would be of great help!

[@rickyalan1227]

@@krass76 I would say: try to feed your mind with information you consider to be good for you and your goals. It seems like you already trust yourself enough to know your subconscious is your ally. In that case, you're there already : )

He keeps saying they...." Learn something" He's telling us the whole wonderful time that's what he means by 'awakening', I'm certain

whal what an amazing point of view Erickson was on an other level! dimension! bouncing in out of serval

[@WarHorse42069]

"all his books on autohypnosis are trash" i fucking love this man so much

[@MultiDubi]

I got to be honest, I didn't understand the point he was trying to make. How will the unconscious mind know what to do? Thank you kindly for the answer in advance 🙏

[@A_Jel]

I’ll attempt to answer that but in many ways my answer doesn’t really matter. It makes you wonder how a person can discover that on a deeper level even before you know that you know, doesn’t it? Erickson once said, sometimes you don’t know what you don’t know. Or maybe you don’t know what you already know in those deeper currents of your unconscious until you become aware of that, and as a person relaxes with that on a deeper level, and just really begin to set that conscious mind aside for a moment, a person can discover so quickly just how much they already know. Now, I don’t know what that looks like exactly, or just how good that can possibly begin to feel. Because as you set aside that conscious mind, and decide to allow the unconscious responds completely and people are often surprised as they learn that contained within a so-called problem is the most suitable solution. We often do know that we already know how to solve it, and yet that conscious mind does a wonderful job at “keeping the ball in the air” and as you let that ball drop further down now you can experience so many things becoming clearer in those certain ways.

[@jbraymick1602]

A good story for this question is about the horse that thrown it's rider ,Erickson and some other kids were there. Look it up.

[@klydon12345]

THANK YOU SO MUCH .

[@williamkraemer]

What was Erickson's patient telling herself as she looked at herself in the mirror for 20 minutes? If anything? Was she telling her unconscious mind to activate processes to help her toward a goal she'd chosen?

[@onetruecalling]

Thats strange.... I did not understand the point that he was making in this video. Auto hypnosis is a valuable understanding to have. I look forward to greater clarity, especially given the advancements in this field.

Can someone explain what the difference is between auto-hypnosis and meditation?

[@mr.keleton9710]

Meditation is just some kind of hypnosis, you can use a autohypnosis to relax and to think about nothing (this is called meditation), but if you want to archive other goal so the common name is autohypnosis

[@susheelindulkar]

As I understand it, auto-hypnosis takes you below the conscious level of your mind (sub-conscious) while meditation takes you above the conscious level of the mind (super-conscious).
