Publisher Description
A chalice of wisdom for our time. (Ernest L. Rossi, PhD, C.J. Jung Institute of Los Angeles)
Milton H. Erickson has been called the most influential hypnotherapist of our time. Part of his therapy was his use of teaching tales, which through shock, surprise, or confusion - with genius use of questions, puns, and playful humor - helped people to see their situations in a new way. In this audiobook Sidney Rosen has collected over 100 of the tales. Presented verbatim and accompanied by Dr. Rosen's commentary, they are grouped under such headings as Motivating Tales, Reframing, and Capturing the Innocent Eye.
My Voice Will Go with You is skillfully narrated by Brian Arens, an Audible listener favorite.
Produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont. ©1982 Sidney Rosen, MD.
Customer Reviews
Interesting storytelling, but not much practical value
I finally got around to reading My Voice Will Go With You by Milton Erickson, and I have mixed feelings. It is an interesting read, he’s clearly an incredible storyteller, and some of the case studies are entertaining. But do I believe all of them as literal fact? Honestly, no. A lot of it feels more like legend-building than something you’d actually put into practice today.
From a hypnotherapist’s perspective, I didn’t walk away with much I could directly apply. The main takeaway for me was simply the reminder to think outside the box and use analogy or storytelling more intentionally which is valuable, but not enough to make this a must-read.
Overall, I’d say take this book with a grain of salt. Enjoy the stories, appreciate the creativity, but don’t treat it as a practical guide for the modern world of hypnotherapy. It’s entertaining, but not essential.
