Overview
We all have them. Those clients that make us want to pull our hair out! They discount their progress and the progress of others. They know more than you do. They don’t trust anyone. They make threats, have emotional outbursts, and play coy when you are only trying to get information to help them. Psychotherapy research has made unthinkable gains in recent decades. We now have evidence-based protocol for dozens of clinical conditions, and clinicians also have a plethora of new tools at their disposal. However, practitioners still run into those clients that don’t respond to standard protocols. Some even seem to have aversive reactions to the tools that we have become used to using regularly that so many clients find helpful. These clients can leave clinicians feeling frustrated, stressed out, and sometimes even defeated. Leave this virtual training equipped with evidence-based strategies from an integrated model that Incorporates, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and schema modification interventions to help individuals struggling paranoia, aggression, lack of empathy and other dysregulated emotions not only get better in the short term but stay well in the long term.
