My Voice Will Go with You

The Teaching Tales of Milton H. Erickson

By: Sidney Rosen

Narrated by: Brian Arens

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.

Milton Erickson has some interesting ideas

no wonder Milton Erickson's teaching are cited constantly because he has some very interesting ways of therapy and teaching.

WOW...

If you enjoy psychology at all, get this book. One of the most entertaining, fun, practical and interesting methods I've heard, definitely gonna get deeper into this rabbit hole.

Erickson is an intriguing man

I've been trying to change my own behavior and I find this book helpful. I'm not exactly sure how it helps me, but, like many people who visited Milton Erickson for therapy, I feel better after listening to this book, without knowing exactly why. I listen to it when I'm falling asleep for 20 to 30 minutes, and I'm now on my third listen.

Erickson died in 1980, and many of the examples here are outdated, based on social and cultural values which do not quite apply now. However I am deliberately looking beyond the specifics of his strategies and values to some underlying brilliance which I can use to improve my life.

I wish this was twice as long!

Like the title says I wish this book was even longer. I regularly felt myself fall into and out of trances while listening to this book. I learned a lot about hypnosis and as a beginner learning Ericksonian hypnosis techniques has been eye opening!

Provides great insight

This book provides a marvelous insight into who Milton Erickson was, demonstrating how his childhood difficulties, coupled with an extraordinary mind, gave him the tools to develop remarkably effective therapeutic techniques.
