This man is on a different level. More than just a hypnotist. He knew the human condition inside out

[@Montecristo21]

Well, he was a famous psychiatrist, not only a hypnotist.

[@rech7597]

@@Montecristo21 Nobody can adorn themselves with what this person was and what he left us. Sry

[@memorablelifestyle9255]

Yeah... so profound. This can of deep deep wisdom you in very very few people's eyes

[@martinhandy9545]

Welcome to the father of therapy. I was in a trance a long time after watching this. It moved me to action and helping others. Pass it forward!

[@MaaZy_]

Could you please explain what exactly happened? and/or what is the method or the strategy?

[@69ingleton60]

Mr Erickson relayed the story so eloquently. He is cool, calm and collected. I felt that I was listening to it in a trance like state. I thank him for all his life’s work and for the lives he has touched and improved over the years since his time on this planet. It will continue through his books and videos for many years to come. Brilliant!!!

[@nitishgautam5420]

His natural language was hypnotic , he used cause and effect, almost everytime

[@thebiancataitshow128]

Such a touching example of sheer brilliance.... It only takes getting into the person's world to understand what they need and then with one suggestion change their entire lives in such an amazing way. The sheer genius that is Milton Erickson

[@u311165]

The man is a genius!! Thankyou for your existence Milton.

[@davidshaunezzell2022]

Very good. I've enjoyed all his books and videos for the past 7 years and will keep watching, reading and learning, be unique and be yourself, use his stories and create your own stories as well. Amazing there are so many great videos, what a privilege and an honor we live in this time and can learn from many who are on the other side. Thank You for your experience and your knowledge.

[@glenmarzz4525]

Q: is this a story he made for a patient so as to change their perception or is this in fact what he did for the depressed woman

[@Galifamackus]

@@glenmarzz4525 I’m pretty sure this is a real story. Apparently Erickson showed a newspaper clip to hia class reporting on “Milwaukee African Violent Queen Dies... Leaving Thousands Mourning” which is how he heard she was eventually loved by her community

[@NegreirosLucas]

I cried.

[@claudiamaida6522]

Thank-you!!!!! What a privilege to view this video.

[@rangtajha]

Spreading patient’s energy of unique trait, all over everything in every possible ways…..,kudos

[@johnglynhughes4239]

He cared in a way that was and remains incredibly rare...

[@VictorHP4]

Milton H. Erickson is a huge man. He is a huge therapist that is looking how to help persons really. He helps others by using every resource that he finds. I thank God for having gave me the opportunity to know about him.

[@spacebrainspdx]

Wow! This man is amazing. What an inspiration!

[@Knyfefyte]

The love in his voice and words, I wept after listening to him. Not one shred of ego in this man.

not going to lie, i had to set the speed to 1.75. but otherwise I am super grateful to hear this man!!

Salute to thee this luminary and beacon of light

Beutifull story! stil wondered why i am tousched this much by it.

Thank you Jane, for sharing the timeless genius of Dr. Erickson,A truly compassionate soul !

[@skyjuke2006]

Incredible! This Man is a Real Saint!

[@silverlining7298]

Thankyou. I'm in training and found this very helpful for my studies and personally. Love the part about spreading the bit of energy she had left. It changed her life

[@irinatrotter9906]

[@billycullen6832]

Beautiful and Brilliant.

[@Reincarnation111]

what a lovely story...and idea.

[@guitfiddleblue]

Excellent Video!!! thank you for posting this.

[@jackieoleary3883]

Dr Erickson is fascinating Janie, so glad I finally heard him!

[@xavseq727]

I wonder how long it took him to put the elements in this story together? The stare at 4:19 would be like a jolt to someone in a trance. The way he put emphasis on certain words is sublime. When he says "Demanded" I get the feeling he was dealing with a tough nut.

[@detodounpoco37]

I feel that we forget that he was not only a master of indirect language but also a master or direct commands, especially in this case of brief therapy. His utilization in this situation is as poetic as his hypnotic wizardry.

[@regalrivera]

I need you Sr. 😭😭😭 I’m suffering so much right now

[@gabriellakosa488]

What an amazing person!

[@annip5573]

Great and very touching - if only I could find such a therapiest...

[@mattmarchand3139]

this man was brilliant. can you imagine going into hypnosis. can you imagine how relaxed and comfortable you can feel. one can imagine milton erickson wondering how easy it is to relax and feel good. i wonder when you will totally and completely relax.

[@herdondoozer]

Thank you for these. There is far too few videos of this genius out there. Having been trained in Hypnosis and NLP I appreciate hearing from the horses mouth

[@TigerKindheart]

That's awesome! He really was amazing!

[@atiger4716]

Thank Jane very much!

[@mammybelle7302]

[@arioseiraffi5161]

He is perfect

[@samantha-kemp-therapy]

Genius on every level of consciousness

[@krismat6241]

The interview made me go in transe. This guy does it effortlessly!

[@lifelesslilt]

it;s because he's boring as fuck. maybe he's genius , I respect his work, but he is really boring... this is how he puts ppl to sleep

[@sawtoothiandi]

the man had health problems throughout his life, and the way he speaks here seems likely to be due to something like Parkinsonism. so eh politely go jump

[@user-wg8nb2uj8y]

@@lifelesslilt glad no one listens to your shitty songs lol

[@Galifamackus]

@@lifelesslilt Erickson was fully paralyzed at a young age and had to overcome polio. He had to mentally retrain and rewire his body to register movement again. In this video he looks very old and aged with polio probably having a larger effect by then, so hope you may understand him now

[@susiesebastianraphael]

He is a brilliant man. I see your captions are correcting his switch from say she and he which he does deliberately!

[@irishelk3]

Unique exactly, so i think he'd also agree that this method maybe would be for everyone. I am a keen gardener and grow lots of plants, but in 2013 i had the most awful year of my life, i finished college, which was in horticulture and was only a small course, so lasted only 9 months, then my next door neighbor and childhood friend moves to Canada, and i just felt so bad, and i became suspicious of other friendships and whether people still liked me or not because i was always depressed -- I've had it since about 2004 i would say, and i'm 27 now; i couldn't enjoy anything, even holidays. So in 2013 i continued to grow plants which i suppose looking back it did help, but when i felt bad i mean i felt really bad: up worrying at night, crying, siting still in certain places in my house for ages, and it was a hot year and hot weather seems to amplify depression with me. I would go for long walks into town wandering around in the sun, just trying to feel a bit better. I'm still depressed today and anxious, not as bad as back then, but still have it, some days its good, other days not so much. So i completely agree that keeping occupied is very important, and tending to plants helped me and still does, i have a small garden, but i collect trees and have plans to plant them in my local area which hasn't got a lot of trees -- wanting to make my area look nicer by guerrilla gardening gave me a jolt of motivation, and still does.

[@fredflintstone8998]

'Guerilla gardening' ... we could do with more of that around here (in London, England) ... although we do have one bloke who does some - he has planted lovely flowers in a public area out the front for all to see and tends them with loving care. He cannot read or write and I have helped him with small matters of literacy on a number of occasions... and yet he is such a happy fellow with just his missus and we laugh together. I think I could learn a thing or two from him about shutting out the world's problems and finding what you love! My goal is to help others more. Thanks for posting this Spud. You and Milton have made me think...

[@sandrosirait]

play this in 1.25x speed. you're welcome

[@jake.berger.presents]

playing at 1.25x speed will distort the pacing and tonality he's using as a hypnotherapist. Play at 1x speed to learn the meta. Not the story, but *how* he's telling the story
