084: Milton’s List

What this episode covers

When we're stressed we think less. That's true for everyone but it's an especially vexing fact for our distressed clients – many of whom desperately need to make more helpful and healthful decisions on behalf of their well-being. Milton Erickson, the famous psychiatrist and hypnotherapist, knew this too. That's why he maintained a list to reference when his body got racked by pain due to his history with polio. I often tell clients about Milton's list (and my own) and why it may be a good idea for them to create something similar for times when they're "freaking."
