{"product_id":"generative-trance-the-experience-of-creative-flow-9781845907815","title":"Generative Trance: The experience of creative flow","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe author emphasizes that reality and identity are constructed by ourselves, and explains how generative trance is crucial in creating new realities and possibilities for clients. It is a view that differs markedly from the traditional hypnosis ideas of a client losing control, as well as from Ericksonian approaches that feature a benevolent hypnotist who bypasses the conscious mind to work with a client's unconscious mind. Instead, generative trance stresses a \"disciplined flow\" process in which a person's conscious and unconscious minds cooperate to weave a higher consciousness capable of transformational change.    The book offers a framework for developing this creative consciousness, including a step by step processes for creating it. Stephen Gilligan has been developing this work over the past thirty five years, first as a protege of the great hypnotherapist Milton Erickson, and then as the originator of the post-Ericksonian approaches of Self-Relations and Generative Self.   William James used to say that 'the unconscious mind is the horse and conscious mind is the rider: it's the relationship between the two that is most important.' This book shows you how to harness the relationship for a much more powerful and effective therapeutic intervention.","brand":"Crown House Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53516176589143,"sku":"9781845907815","price":25.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/generative-trance-the-experience-of-creative-flow-9781845907815","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
