The Practitioner's Guide to Mirroring Hands: A Client-Responsive Therapy That Facilitates Natural Problem Solving and Mind-Body Healing

by Richard Hill

Narrated by Richard Hill

The Practitioner’s Guide to Mirroring Hands describes in detail how "Mirroring Hands" is conducted and explores the framework of knowledge and understanding that surrounds and supports this therapeutic process.

"Mirroring Hands" is a practical therapeutic technique that enables clients to unlock their natural problem-solving and mind-body healing capacities to arrive at a resolution in a way that many other therapies might not. With a tranquil state of focused attention as the starting point, the practitioner invites the client to explore an issue by projecting it into their hands - with one hand representing the difficulty or disturbance, the other becomes a natural container for resolution and comfort.

This practitioner’s guide, collaboratively compiled by Richard Hill and Ernest L. Rossi, is the first audiobook on the subject specially produced for all mental health practitioners. It offers expert insight into the technique's client-responsive applications and also details the processes behind the technique as it takes the client from disruption into the therapeutic; and from there to integration and a state of well-being.

Suitable for students of counseling, psychotherapy, psychology, and hypnotherapy, as well as anyone in professional practice.

[Michael · Rating 3 out of 5]

Hill and Rossi introduce us to a range of techniques building from the work of Milton Erickson. These techniques use the felt sense to tap into implicit knowledge to solve problems and achieve regulation and self soothing. The implications of this work are meaningful and their ideas on healing are relevant. I found the dialogue between Hill and Rossi somewhat distracting and the quantum discussions to be abstract and unhelpful. Not as helpful a book as I was hoping for.

A beautiful melding of Focusing oriented psychotherapy with the pendulation of somatic experiencing, the bilateral focus of EMDR, the dual attunement of brainspotting, and the externalization of polarization of Gestalt and other parts-oriented therapies. I also was delighted to find the shape of the protocol (way too formal of a word to use, I know) to be similar to Coherence Therapy!

Key word: practitioner. Practical, useful constructs to approach creating therapeutic conditions: curiosity undergirded by seeking, playing, caring, loving and without which fear and depredation. One goes TOWARD, the other AWAY. So simple! Read this book if you are interested in the role tai chi/qigoing play in creating the therapeutic environment.

interesting book. A different way to explain and apply self healing with hypnosis.
