The Unconscious
Erickson maintained that the unconscious is smart, wise and benevolent
“Trust your unconscious,” he would say
If the unconscious is so smart, why do people have problems or symptoms?
![Page 31: Ericksonian Hypnosis - Welcome to Bill O'Hanlon's ... · PDF fileshifts with hypnosis Tell stories Guide associations Remind people of previous experiences Emphasize phrases and words](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062504/5ab223587f8b9a00728d10de/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
The Answer
The unconscious is smart about what it is smart about
Dumb about what it is dumb about
And sometimes, the unconscious is smart about something it is dumb to be smart about
