As he describes his predicament, “It just seems like I’m stuck in a gutter and can’t get out.” Maintaining a clear focus on the skills and resources Mike will need to get out of that gutter, Dr. Yapko artfully steers the session away from the pain of the past to orient Mike to the positive possibilities of the future. It is a magic moment when, at the end, Mike spontaneously laughs and says, “I feel real good!” 20 months later, Mike reports he has been doing better and better, a testimonial to the power of this dynamic session. Prior to the session Dr. Yapko is interviewed by the hosts of the “Brief Therapy Inside Out” series, of which this session is a part, and following the session Dr. Yapko is asked to explain key aspects of the intervention with Mike. This is a superb teaching tape for those who want to learn the intricacies of Dr. Yapko’s hypnotic and strategic therapeutic approaches.

The Case of Sol
Type:DVD

$39.95
Sol is a psychologist seeking help for his long-term depression. Sol's depression has intensified over the years as he has come to face the painful reality that his fantasies of professional and financial success -- culminating in an early retirement -- will go unfulfilled. Sol is deeply self-critical, anxious about how he will cope with his predicament, and doubtful that he can do anything to change his feelings or circumstances.Sol identifies his "history of being humorous" as his principle means of coping, a resource Michael Yapko uses liberally in his hypnotic intervention. Throughout the hypnosis session, Michael highlights Sol's personal resources. In addition, he clarifies the importance not only of having goals and fantasies, but also of having the internal mechanism for making sure they are realistic, with specific, identifiable steps to eventually bring them to fruition. Michael's pragmatism is evident in his ability to empathetically "push" Sol into redefining who he is and who he can be, quite apart from who he once fantasized about being.The session is professionally videotaped, and enhanced with helpful introductory graphics describing the patterns of depression/anxiety co-morbidity and the value of hypnosis as a means of intervention. Throughout the tape are numerous subtitles explaining key points in Michael's intervention, and the tape concludes with follow-up information on Sol's subsequent progress. This is an outstanding teaching tape for all those interested in the skilled application of hypnosis in the treatment of complex co-morbid cases.

The Case of Susan
Type:DVD

$39.95
Hypnosis to Overcome a Fear of Freeway Driving: When a panic attack occurred while driving a local freeway nearly three decades ago, Susan developed a crippling fear of driving on the freeway. Just the thought that she might unexpectedly have to drive on a freeway caused her anxiety level to skyrocket. Susan turned freeway driving duties over to her husband in the many years since that first episode, driving only on familiar side streets to go places she had to go. Susan's fear of driving the freeway has taken a huge toll on her life, but she has now found the courage and willingness to directly confront her fears in this clinical demonstration session. Dr. Yapko's interview reveals the intensity of Susan's fear as well as the range of sophisticated resources she has to break its hold on her. The hypnosis session Dr. Yapko conducts with Susan is logical and illogical, serious and funny, and multi-layered in its therapeutic messages. The entire session is enhanced with explanatory subtitles which offer the viewer an insight into Dr. Yapko's methods and the intentions behind then. A detailed follow-up affirms the therapeutic value of this session, for Susan has gotten back in the fast lane, and is feeling free to drive the freeway.
