ABSTRACT
This article introduces the mnemonic, CAT-FAWN. CAT stands for Concentration-Activated Transformation as a tool for family therapy that emphasises trance-based learning and self-hypnosis mastery. FAWN refers to contrasting understandings of pre-colonial and dominant worldview precepts that relate to Fear, Authority, Words and Nature. It offers a guide for therapists and families to recognise the power of natural hypnosis and a non-dualistic view of contrasting worldview precepts between our nature-based, spiritual understanding of the world and our anthropocentric-materialistic understanding of the world for positive transformation.
