Overview
Experienced clinicians do not need reminders as to the basic theory and techniques in their clinical practice. What they need are tools for owning the toughest clinical moments with clients in order to capture nuanced opportunities for deepening the therapeutic alliance and increasing clarity and their clients’ ability to change.
In this course, Dr. Abblett focuses on mindfulness-based and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy-based methods for not only managing truly tough difficult moments in (or between) sessions, but harnessing them as intervention opportunities to enhance the therapeutic alliance, provide boundary-related learning opportunities for clients, and enhance clinicians' effective timing of using relevant interventions and techniques.
You will learn to understand and make use of skillful intervention skills for assessing the most challenging clinical conversations and knowing when and how to intervene effectively. Dr. Abblett also delves into identifying the methods for defusing and effectively managing difficult therapeutic interactions and presents evidence-supported techniques for improving your psychological flexibility across all the clients in your caseload.
Drawing from his lengthy experience in managing clients in a state of crisis, he will also teach you how to effectively handle crisis situations and implement skills for “moment ownership.”
