[Audio] IC19 Workshop 49 – When Milton Erickson, Virginia Satir, and Lao Tzu Enjoy a Cup of Tea Together – Integration of Western and Eastern Somatic Centered Approaches to Treat Anxiety – Wei Kai Hung, Ed.M and Eva Wieprecht, MBA

Description:

In this workshop, East and West blend, intertwine, and approach anxiety symptoms in a creative way. Eva from Germany, with her masterful practice in Satir somatic modeling, combined with Wei Kai from Taiwan, with his mindful practice in Tai Chi and Taoism hypnotherapy, will create a new model in treating anxiety. We both learned Ericksonian approach for years, and utilized various somatic movements to help self regulation, and increase self steering competencies in challenging times. You will learn to create a collaborative relationship between involuntary processes of anxiety and voluntary use of somatic resources. In this workshop, we will hold the opposites and allow a new third to emerge. Once you learn it, experience it, and you can use it to treat anxiety internally and externally.

Educational Objectives:

1. Describe an Ericksonian Tai-Chi trance.
2. Explain modern Satir stance dance.
3. Demonstrate exercises from Ericksonian, Virginia Satir, and Lao Tzu perspectives that help you to be flexible and transform anxiety into resources.
