Description

This is the classic video of Michael Yapko at his best. Sol is a psychologist seeking help for his long-term depression. Sol’s depression has intensified over the years as he has come to face the painful reality that his fantasies of professional and financial success - culminating in an early retirement - will go unfulfilled. Sol identifies his “history of being humorous” as his principal means of coping, a resource Michael Yapko uses liberally in his hypnotic intervention. Throughout the hypnosis session, Dr. Yapko highlights Sol’s personal resources.
