Workshop Description
There are times when traditional psychotherapy doesn’t work with certain populations. Some clients don’t respond to standard protocols and 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.
There is hope! Join award-winning author and international expert in the field of personality dysfunction, Dr. Jeff Riggenbach, for this refreshing look at how personality and addiction issues complicate treatment, undermining client outcomes, and learn what you can do about it.
Incorporate motivational exercises, dialectical behavior therapy strategies, and schema modification interventions into your work that will equip you to help individuals struggling with addictions, paranoia, aggression, lack of empathy and other dysregulated emotions, not only get well but stay well. Leave this enjoyable, information packed 4-hour course feeling invigorated to help your stuck clients take meaningful steps towards creating their life worth living.
