Events
08-08-08: IBS day
[
up]. The entire day of 8 August 2008 (08/08/08, Friday) is dedicated to those people that suffer from IBS (irritable bowel syndrome). If you have IBS, just come to my office with a written referral from your physician (hypnosis against IBS) and you will receive a free hypnosis session. The office will be open in the morning (10-12) and in the afternoon (14-19).
Phoenix (Arizona)
[
up]. I have spent almost the entire month of May in the United States in order to meet some colleagues (hypnotherapists) but also to personally live and better understand certain experiences that Milton Erickson suggested to many of his patients. What I have discovered pleasantly surprised me, and I wanted to document it in my own way in an appropriate
file (PDF document, 10.1 MB).
A.V.O. training
[
up]. It has been a pleasure for me to help the A.V.O. (a no-profit Italian Association of volunteers in hospital) in Cairo Montenotte (Savona), offering them a lesson about the correct communication with hospitalized patients. This meeting is part of the IX course of free training of the A.V.O. (no-profit), year 2008, 11 February - 13 March. The full program, published and distributed by the A.V.O. as a leaflet, can be seen in
fig. 1 (37 KB). The massive participation (more than 50 persons, included a physician of the emergency service) allowed to expand topics even beyond the original program, and several participants, in the following days, noted relevant personal improvements (during the lesson I have seen many persons in the audience going in hypnosis and out of it several times, thus I have accompanied them indirectly in their personal hypnotic work by offering some useful ideas). It has been a very gratifying experience also from the point of view of experimental mass hypnosis.
Birth of Erickson
[
up]. In 5 December 2007 I offered a special event in honor of Milton Erickson, born in 5 December 1901. Many thanks to all the participants.
