ABOUT THE CONFERENCE:
At times in our careers, all of us have faced clinical situations in which we were intimidated by or experienced therapeutic paralysis. This may occur in reaction to particular clients’ provocative and perplexing presenting problems and extensive treatment histories, families with multiple symptom-bearing members carrying serious DSM diagnoses, or couples who seem to thrive on one crisis to the next. In these challenging—even nightmarish—client situations, we can feel trapped and neutralized as if caught in the gravity of a black hole.
This one-day, hands-on, practice-oriented webinar will explore several effective ways therapists can tap our inner creativity and resourcefulness to get unstuck and be catalysts for therapeutic change in complex, difficult client practice situations. Participants will come away feeling inspired, energized, more confident, and daring with a plethora of therapeutic tools & strategies for working outside our comfort zones with our most challenging clients. The seminar format will combine didactic presentation, extensive use of videotape examples, and skill-building exercises.
