Why Milton Erickson Went Off Script With His Patients

Milton Erickson yelled at a therapy client. I flirted with an elderly lady. Sometimes therapy goals can be met in the strangest ways.

'Ericksonian' principles have been known about for thousands of years, and if you dig beneath the mystique of Milton H. Erickson's case histories you'll find that these principles are simple enough for any therapist to learn and use.

I talk more about this in this video, including:
1:29 - The ancient Sufi story of the physician and the paralysed king
3:27 - Milton Erickson and the paralysed man - and why Erickson insulted his therapy client
8:32 - The art of suspending judgement, and why what's true or 'good' might not always look as it's supposed to look
11:44 - Why I like to teach principles first, techniques second
