• Participants will learn to utilize therapy as a social process that can teach clients skills experientially in order to reduce and even prevent depression.
• Interventions involving skill building homework assignments, and experiential methods of hypnosis and mindfulness will be considered in depth through group hypnosis and at least one skill-building exercise.
• Hypnosis in particular holds great therapeutic potential for its emphasis on empowering and activating some of the most disempowered people there are, namely people suffering the ravages of depression.
