Summary

• Description: In this recording, Dr. Erickson teaches a group of mesmerized students gathered inside his living room.

• Erickson destabilizes the students’ fixed perspectives of physical awareness.

• By asking a student, “What muscles do you use to stand up?” Erickson plants a seed in the minds of the students. This seeded theme of “standing up” will grow into a realization throughout this three-part video series.

• In part one of this three part series, you will witness Erickson seamlessly planting a seed, connecting the dots, developing a theme, and closing the loop in one class period.

• You will learn how Erickson conducted dissociation through the tempo, content and tone of his words.
