EP 18: An Uncommon Case Report with Eric Greenleaf

"That's all I'm trying to do in therapy, I'm trying to get the patient to teach me how he does things well, [rather] than me to teach him what his mistakes are."

Eric Greenleaf, has plenty of awards. He's a Ph.D, the director of MHEIBA,  editor for the Erickson Foundation Newsletter, and first recipient of the Milton H. Erickson Award of Scientific Excellence for Writing in Hypnosis. However, in this podcast you'll come to see him as a wonderful storyteller. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to him discuss case after case. Whenever I hear stories like this I'm always inspired by what is possible on the far side of therapy. In this episode you'll hear several case reports:

• The case of the trash compactor
• The case of the homemade postcards
• The case of the photographed desk

PS. If you enjoyed this episode check out my interview with Kershaw and Wade. They combine an Ericksonian approach with Neurofeedback.
