Diploma and Advanced
Diploma of Solution Oriented Hypnosis
in Hobart
simply learning a natural
approach to solutions in hypnosis
Background
This diploma offers more than just information and
techniques. It was developed by Rob McNeilly and grounded
in 25 years of teaching and learning including personally
from Milton Erickson, Humberto Maturana, Julio Ollala and
Rafael Eccheveria to name a few. It is a rare opportunity
to have the ideas of such people distilled into one
approach with Rob’s uniquely creative, playful and
illuminating style. It was extended by Gabrielle's 10 years
experience in General Practice with the inherent
frustrations of the medical model that appear common to
doctors, counsellors, psychologists and allied health
workers alike. She was relieved to discover a different
way. As a student of Rob’s she was impressed by the
refreshing learning experience he offered that usefully
allowed her to change how she observed and use what
she saw to facilitate learning and change in a client. As a
teachers of this approach Rob & Gabrielle share a
passionate interest in the effectiveness of this way of
learning for students and clients also.
Overview
When Milton Erickson began working, inventing and
experimenting with therapy in the 1930’s there was little
to choose from in terms of different therapy styles. In the
1960's, there were about 60 different therapy models, and
today there are more than 250!!!! It is humbling to note
that despite the variety, virtually all of the research
data finds roughly equivalent results for all models. And
perhaps we only need to look at the world to see that that
it is the similarities rather than differences between the
models that account for the effectiveness of psychotherapy.
The Solution Oriented Approach honours these similarities,
acknowledges that many of the 250 have their roots in
Erickson’s work and in a refreshing answer to today’s
consumerism, attempts to simplify and unravel the
confusion.
Lambert's research in 1992 and Wampole's in 2001 add
statistical evidence supporting the core of Erickson’s work
specifically and the Solution Oriented approach generally -
the importance of
creating a trusting, legitimizing
relationship,
observing and listening to the client
and reconnecting them to their life outside therapy,
creating expectancy and
trusting in our own individual
therapeutic creativity
to maximise our effectiveness.
This diploma offers a unique opportunity to learn the
principles and applications of one of the most rapidly
growing treatment models in contemporary psychotherapy. The
scope of the program is comprehensive, and presents the
essential elements in an elegantly accessible way and is
open to practitioners of all levels of experience who are
passionate about their work.
simple
Hypnosis has been understood as complex, special, even
dangerous, requiring unique legal restrictions. It has been
associated with magic, the devil, loss of control, and only
relevant to susceptible individuals.
In this programme we will explore simple, elegant and
respectful ways of connecting clients with their own unique
styles of experience.
learning
Traditionally learning has been based on theory and the
property of a select few experts. By contrast, these
diplomas have a minimum of theory and explanations,
focusing instead on demonstrations and recurrent practice
so that participants will have sufficient skills to begin
to use their learning in their clinical practice
immediately.
a natural
approach
Hypnosis has been assumed to be a special, different, even
weird experience. Erickson spoke of the everyday trance as
a natural experience that can be enhanced in a clinical
situation. By utilising individual clients’ individual
skills, overlooked skills can be disclosed, re-connected,
and found to be readily available, leading to a fail-safe
method will be made obvious and readily useable.
solutions
Rather than problem solving, the solution approach draws on
a client's innate resourcefulness, re-connects them with
these resources, and because they come from the client,
they can be easily accessible. Ericksonian hypnosis creates
a wonderful context for a trusting therapeutic
relationship, helping to restore self-trust in individual
clients to allow this process to be realised.
hypnosis
Traditional hypnosis relies on manualised scripts which are
applied to clients in a "fit where it touches" approach,
creating resistance and limited compliance. When we begin
with the principle that hypnosis is an experience that
involves focus of attention and absorption in that
experience, this natural ability can be readily accessed by
all clients and incorporated in any clinician’s practice.

contemporary understanding.

• any other clinical situation
Course
Structure
The diploma involves 14 workshop days over 8 months and is
a prerequisite for the advanced diploma of 10 workshop days
over 10 months. Each includes recorded lectures,
demonstrations and a written text. Assignments, relevant to
the actual clinical utilisation of the learning offer
valuable opportunities for reflection and any diploma can
be repeated free of charge at any time in the future. The
emphasis is on live demonstrations and the opportunity for
you to practice recurrently in pairs or triads. These
diplomas value experiential learning over acquisition of
information so that you will feel confident to incorporate
these ideas into your work immediately.
Accreditation
These programmes are accredited by CET, as evidence shows
overwhelmingly that external accreditation has no
correlation with effectiveness of learning or application.
Summary
These diplomas provide learning opportunities which are
individualised, practical, relevant, easily understood,
readily translatable into clinical practice, all in a safe
environment of respectful support.
