Continuing Education Workshop Description
As a clinical supervisor, B started to notice a pattern with her new supervisees. Many of them had done well in graduate school, but they also felt they lacked practical skills and tools to support their clients in clinical practice. Or they could explain a principle in a clinical way, but didn’t know how to use that information to offer psychoeducation to their clients.
This continuing education workshop is meant to serve as a bridge between higher education “book smarts” and practical clinical application, offering concepts and tools in easy-to-digest, easy-to-apply ways.
While geared toward newer clinicians, this continuing education workshop is also appropriate for therapists who want a skills refresher or need reminders of tools they may have forgotten along the way.
B offers several instruments and concepts based on her clinical expertise, so everyone is bound to leave with new knowledge, practical techniques, and skills!
Some topics covered include: relational skills, attachment, family and social systems, relational dependence, nervous system education, reinforcement, learning and epistemology, transference issues, clinical expertise, and humility.
