Perhaps rather too frequently international speakers tend to be lauded as “inspirational,” “innovative” or “motivating” … but sometimes they actually are exactly as described.
One such speaker who certainly inspires and undoubtedly has innovated therapy is our guest for the society’s July meeting – Australian therapist Richard Hill. |
Maybe it is his easy-going informal Aussie style of delivery or the straight forwarded, uncomplicated way in which he explains his ideas and methods.
Or maybe it’s due to his long working relationship with the late Ernest Rossi.
Whatever it is, it works and it makes Richard Hill’s talks exceptionally accessible. So, make a note of the name … make a note of the date. You’ll not be disappointed.
Hypnotherapy has a long history of those whose fresh insights and processes have helped propel the entire profession forward another stage.
Of course Milton Erickson inevitably bears the title “Father of Modern Hypnotherapy” while much of his mantle was inherited by Rossi who developed Erickson’s ideas then came forth with more of his own.
Among Rossi’s many contributions was his highlighting the importance of sensitive observation together with the importance of the client/patient’s “creative moment.
Rossi engaged our focus on the “opposites” in the process he called Mirroring Hands.
Now those ideas are in turn being extended by Rossi’s long-term student, friend and co-author of “The Practitioner’s Guide to Mirroring Hands” our speaker Richard Hill. |

During his Zoom presentation to the society Richard will describe, discuss and demonstrate where Rossi’s work was going and where it is taking us today. |
