Milton Erickson

Milton Erickson was a pioneering psychiatrist known for his innovative approach to therapy, particularly in hypnosis and communication. He believed that people’s subconscious mind holds the solutions to their problems, and through subtle, personalized language patterns—often indirect or metaphorical—he helped clients access their inner resources for change. Erickson’s techniques emphasize collaboration, respecting individual strengths, and utilizing everyday language, making therapy more natural and effective. His work has greatly influenced modern psychotherapy, especially in fields like hypnotic therapy and strategic counseling, highlighting the power of understanding and guiding the way people think and perceive.
