Description
Description:
A client’s willingness to embrace doubt and discomfort while feeling afraid requires them to elevate above their immediate fear and apply a new response based on a new and provocative therapeutic frame of reference. This workshop will present how to persuade clients to engage in such a therapeutic protocol to respond to an anxious moment in a manner that promotes healing. Participants will learn how to present four concepts to justify this approach. You can learn to approach instead of withdraw during a threatening moment by activating a competing emotion that expresses a competing point of view.
Educational Objectives:
- Defend logically the therapeutic benefits of embracing doubt and discomfort.
- Explain how to engage the working memory in service of therapeutically managing the anxious moment.
- Persuade an anxious client of the benefits of seeking out distressing moments while simultaneously holding an incompatible point of view.
