HAPPENINGS IN 2019

TREAT ANXIETY, TRAUMA, DEPRESSION & ADDICTION THROUGH THE WISDOM
AND CREATIVITY OF STORY AND SYMBOL


Feeling depressed and abandoned by her husband and children, a broken client walks into your office, the victim in her own story. You try traditional therapeutic techniques to no avail. Your client is stuck, failing to make progress, and starting to doubt that an end to the suffering is impossible. You struggle to move her forward, but feel helpless and unable to breathe new life into the clinical approaches that normally serve you so well.Now imagine having the power to create a new story with your client, one in which she becomes the heroine in her life’s journey. The story is the way the mind naturally works, how it integrates thoughts and emotions, making stories one of our most powerful tools to transform and heal.Attend this workshop and learn how to bypass natural resistance to therapy, move stuck clients forward, and help them build new and beneficial neural pathways through groundbreaking interventions built around poems, stories, and journaling.Evidence-based techniques will empower you to creatively and effectively treat your clients facing anxiety, trauma, addiction and depression. Interventions that you will receive, include:Detailed instruction on the strategic application of Bibliotherapy to transform the difficult client into someone with whom you can make great therapeutic strides.
Key components of storytelling and guidance through the application of simple writing exercises your clients can easily and naturally use.
Published writings and detailed handouts and instruction on applying these stories to treatment with anxious, traumatized, addicted and depressed clients.
Skill building activities and interactive exercises that will reinforce the concepts taught, the ability to practice what you’ve learned, and allow its immediate incorporation into your clinical work.
Leave the day feeling confident and capable to integrate the power of Bibliotherapy into your treatment and provide a safe place to hold your client’s sadness, fear and anger. No previous knowledge or background in writing is required to take full advantage of this seminar.
