Workshop 15 Handouts - The Eleventh International Erickson ...

Rossi’s Basic Four-Step Approach
• Establish that client is ready to work.
• Do inner search of all material relevant to
concern.
• Review all possible realistic options to solve or
resolve that concern.
• Ratify with an ideomotor signal (a kinesthetic
anchor) that client will choose option(s).
Rossi’s “Moving Hands”
• Hands out in front move towards each other –
readiness
• One hand and arm drift down – inner search
• Other hand and arm drift down – search for
realistic solutions
• Nod head to indicate willingness to use
solution(s) - ratification
