Designed for stressed-out, overworked therapists at the end of their clinical rope and struggling with a lack of movement in their cases, the creative interventions you’ll learn in this short workshop really work!
We’ve all been there – frustrated by our difficulty understanding the client struggling to communicate, feeling the shared strain with clients who attend sessions diligently yet don’t seem to be moving through their material, or perplexed by the family we’re struggling to get a read on. Whether we’re the client or the clinician, there isn’t much that feels worse week after week than stuck.
This realistic and brief class is designed for practicing therapists with clients of all ages to explore new options to break the logjam in session. The workshop will be conducted in a Zoom format. Teaching modalities will include clinical discussion, lectures with case examples, video illustrations, and individual exercises.
Objectives:

Practice calming strategies to hold our center and maintain equilibrium in our practices.
Apply interventions using symbolic tokens to release deep-seated thoughts and hopes.
Utilize sand trays to help clients who struggle to conceptualize or communicate verbally (no need to revamp your office – this can be done in a pared-down “travel” format).
Explore projective drawings, including H-T-P, Person in the Rain, and Kinetic Family Drawings, to reveal client perspectives and express feeling states and for ongoing reassessment purposes.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) combines mindfulness strategies with the elicitation of core values. The goal of ACT is to help clients create a workable relationship with their thoughts and feelings, while living a life filled with meaning and purpose.
In this interactive and experiential training, you’ll learn the philosophy behind ACT. The focus, however, will be on the “values” aspect of this therapeutic modality. We will take an in-depth look into the connection between personal values and creating a life worth living. We will also explore how our belief system can influence what we value. This is an important component of the training, because if our clients understand their limiting beliefs, they will avoid sabotaging themselves in their quest for a meaningful life.
During the training, you’ll learn exactly how to assist clients in discovering what they value in the world, and how they can begin aligning their lives with what is truly important to them. To that end, you’ll be practicing a wide variety of practical skills that you can immediately begin using with clients.
Since this will be a hands-on experience, please be sure to bring a notebook with you. In addition, we will be using the presenter’s workbook, “A Life of Meaning and Purpose: An Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Guided Journal for Exploring Beliefs and Connecting with Values,” which will be provided to each participant.
Objectives:

Understand the role of value identification in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Understand how limiting beliefs influence the elicitation and execution of value-directed behavior
Identify the components of core values, in terms of their definition and use in ACT
Discuss how to best assist clients in accessing core values
Learn a variety of ways to teach clients how to elicit core values
Practice ways to explore core values
Explore the relationship between core values and ACT’s strategy of “committed action”
