A key idea in Milton Erickson’s work was that a person’s problematic experiences and behaviors can be skillfully accepted and utilized as the basis for therapeutic change. Self-relations psychotherapy develops this idea further, emphasizing symptoms as indicating the death of an old identity and the impending birth of a new identity. In this workshop, we will see how a therapist can generate a ritual space where symptoms and other disturbing experiences can be “midwifed” into new identities.

Educational Objectives:

1. To name the basic principles and methods of self-relations psychotherapy
2. To describe how these methods might be used to transform symptoms into positive solutions and resources.
