Description
Tired of using the same interventions, session after session? Do you find yourself repeating the same phrases and concepts over and over, wondering how much of it is getting through to your clients? Are your sessions unfocused or lacking theoretical basis? Looking to revitalize your practice?
Watch Drs. Ed Jacobs and Christine Schimmel as they introduce you to a whole new framework for treating clients – an active, creative, multisensory, theory-driven approach that grabs clients’ attention and gets them moving in every sense of the word.
Take your interventions to the next level using affordable, everyday items such as chairs, rubber bands, white boards and other props, to have a lasting impact on clients’ insight, motivation and desire to change.
Built on concepts from evidence-based theoretical approaches such as REBT/CBT, Reality Therapy and Motivational Interviewing, these interventions are designed for all age groups and any clinical issue, including mood and anxiety disorders, anger, low self-esteem and relationships difficulties.
Watch this recording packed with non-stop action, demonstrations and ideas that will have you furiously taking notes as your clinical toolbox overflows with creative, effective interventions you can use immediately!
