Having attended some Medical NLP training with the Society of Medical NLP, it made me look deeper into Hypnosis - in particular the almost mythical Milton H Erickson who its worth following the link to read about.
It seems a lot of everything we do in medicine is getting that 'link' with them and honing our communication skills to that.
Also, there is the use of 'metaphor' for learning, and how this bypasses unconscious defenses against learning new skills.
With regards to CBT or Cognitive Behavioural Therapy which seems to be a fancy term for - self help involves homework and you should know that everything is connected - how you feel and how you act.
Useful resources are the Five Areas approach
or the Living Life to the Full website
There is also something strange called mindfulness CBT or MCBT. This is actually all about Meditation and the results are overwhelming! Who would have thought all the Eastern approaches that have been going on for so many years actually worked! I wonder how they have survived so many thousands of years? Yes, I am being sarcastic!
A resource here with the MP3s by Prof Williams at http://franticworld.com/ are worth listening to as to why it works.
You can also download podcasts from here on MCBT
I hope you find it all helpful. This is a brief introduction to Talking therapies.
