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.
