Description

Though we are trained in clinical techniques in graduate school, sometimes we place too great an emphasis on these skills and miss out on another important therapeutic approach. Based on research, it is proven that the therapeutic relationship is the strongest indicator of client success. Yet, we often are not trained in how to appropriately and effectively utilize this amazing skill. In this workshop, you will learn how to do just that, use the therapeutic relationship to help meet treatment goals.

Clinicians will learn how to be aware of the impact of the therapeutic relationship inside and outside the treatment room. We will discuss multiple techniques to leverage the therapeutic relationship to bring greater client insight and meet treatment goals. The workshop will cover identifying your own biases and relationship concerns that you bring into your relationship with your client. The workshop will examine the benefits and risks in sharing your personal experiences of your client with your client.

Learning Objectives

Objective 1: Participants will identify their own biases and personal histories that they bring into the therapeutic relationship.
