The Master Class Series, created by Dan Short, Ph.D., is designed to enhance expertise with essential skill sets that are not taught, or written about, anywhere else. Accordingly, this four-part series on therapeutic insight takes a unique multi-dimensional approach—combining the accumulated wisdom of humanistic, psychodynamic, interpersonal, strategic, and experiential orientations.

  

As an internationally recognized expert in Ericksonian hypnosis and brief therapy, Short does not take a slow, passive approach to insight work. Rather, he teaches practical strategies designed to stimulate unconscious intelligence within the client. The result is powerful, life-changing insights, sometimes within the very first visit. While traditional psychotherapy focuses exclusively on how events in the past negatively influence current thoughts, emotions, and behaviours, Short teaches a much more expansive approach.

 

In this series, the method of insight-oriented care is deconstructed into four specialized forms: Origin Insights (helping the client learn more about their personal origin story by focusing on formative events),

 

Disentanglement Insights (recognizing how emotional entanglements from the past are impacting current relationships),

 

Problem Identification Insights (moving from helplessness and victimhood to responsibility and empowerment), and

 

Moral Insights (finding meaning and fulfillment even when faced with death and suffering).

 

As mentioned earlier, in no other place are these therapeutic skills taught as a comprehensive whole. The advantage to understanding this wide range of insight-oriented care is that it affords greater discernment when considering the unique needs of a given individual.

 

With over thirty years of experience, working with clients from around the world, Short brings a great deal of clinical wisdom to the classroom as well as a palpable appreciation for each person’s growth potential.
