Here is a short exercise to increase your flexibility with a certain Ericksonian technique. Erickson used to differences between the consciousness and the unconscious mind. Then he could be a problem in the knowledge and the solution into the unconscious as a framework.
Then he would help them extract an unconscious resource to help solve the problem. But before we get there, it is good, the ability to make to win the difference in their minds between conscious and unconscious.
Step 1: Make differences between conscious and the unconscious mind. Just take the first word or phrase pairs and it the consciousness attribute. Then you take up the second word or phrase, the pairing and it attributes the unconscious mind.
hears, understands
Sore / selects
May or may not understand / respond
relaxed / feels
not necessarily aware of… / learn
thinks / experience
Example: “consciousness hears and understands the unconscious mind.”
Come with your own word or phrase mating, that make sense for you. Will get you where you can go to these distinctions to for a few minutes with without thinking about it. Have fun!
