Some of the Concepts we Teach
In working with licensed and pre-licensed therapists over the last 25 years, we have noticed that therapists want to know conceptual answers about therapy, clinical answers about how to do therapy, practical answers about how to deal with therapeutic situations in which they find themselves, and attitudinal/perceptual answers about how to be with their clients while staying in harmony with themselves while inviting others to heal. In our training program we help you discover concepts that work for you. We explore techniques and procedures for clinical work, practice down-to-earth techniques while in sessions with clients, and help you find harmony with yourself while working with your clients. We provide you with an opportunity to gain understanding, develop skills, and be in well-being. Here are some of the questions that are dealt with in the training: How do I stay out of my own resistance while working with my client's resistance? How do I work with the system without becoming part of it? What do I do when my countertransference issues arrive? What are my jobs as a therapist? How does therapy work? How do I set the tone for my sessions? How do I join the client? How do I tell my truth to the client? How do I create a safe working environment for my client? How do I get my clients to trust me? What do I do if I do not trust my clients? What happens if I don't know what to do? What are my limits around drug use, etc? What if the client does not agree with me, or does not want to do what I suggest? How do I do case consultations, treatment plans, case notes? How do I set and enforce my limits? How do I know which issue to work with? How do I get to the issues that I guess are important? What do I do when I get lost and don't know what to do next? How do I handle no-shows, cancellations, non-payments, broken contracts? How do I handle confidentiality, dangerousness? How do I work therapeutically with: resistance, anger, sadness, trauma? What techniques do I use to deepen, expand, resolve, complete, and heal? How do I decide whether to work in body, mind, or spirit with the client? What mediums should I use? Which counseling theory works best with which presenting issue? How do I connect to myself? How do I learn to transcend myself and stay connected to my client? How should I view resistance, dishonesty? How do I stay mindful under pressure? How do I get beyond the needs of my client? How do I know when the work is completed? When do I terminate therapy?
