Words that work

Trust, appreciation, and hope provide quick and sustainable solutions for long-lasting and seemingly unsolvable problems and emotional distress. What sounds impossible can succeed in hypnosystemic pastoral care. In this short-term approach, psychological and physical self-healing powers are activated and integrated into traditional forms of pastoral care. Jean-Otto Domanski, a pastor, hypnosystemic consultant, and pastoral care trainer, presents the foundations of hypnosystemic pastoral care work and demonstrates through many examples how solution- and resource-oriented pastoral conversations can be successful. This first comprehensive introduction to hypnosystemic pastoral care theory, with numerous practical examples, is suitable for interested laypeople as well as for experts.
