SUMMARY:Effective Techniques for Dealing with Highly Resistant Clients
DESCRIPTION:REGISTRATION IS OPEN   •   This training is worth 6 Contact Hours    \nThe successful management of resistance is the pivotal point of effective therapy. It is also a critical component in alleviating therapists’ stress. Although most therapists have been trained extensively in theoretical approaches\, few have had extensive training in dealing with resistance. This is a fast paced\, highly practical seminar designed to teach innovative approaches and ideas to prevent\, avoid\, and resolve resistance. These techniques are applicable across a wide array of clients and problems\, and can be integrated with all theoretical approaches. Emphasis will be on “how to” aspects of resistance management\, though the theory behind each approach is provided.\n \nSpecifically\, this seminar will first present definitions and a model for resistance that empowers therapists in managing the problem. This is followed by a discussion of common mistakes therapists make that promote resistance and a discussion of the general principles for dealing with resistance. More specific approaches and techniques are then presented with particular attention given to utilizing the inherent power of language to circumvent resistance. Common client impasses such as “Yes\, but…” and “I don’t know” responses will be addressed. Upon completion of the training\, participants will have a broad array of techniques to add to their repertoire and to aid in reducing the stress that accompanies their most frustrating clients.\n \n \nLearning Objectives  \n \nAt the conclusion of this activity\, the learner will have the knowledge required to: \n\n Differentiate between conventional and modern definitions of resistance. Participants will be able to conceptualize resistance in a manner that empowers them to avoid\, circumvent\, and utilize it for client benefit. \nDescribe and understand the most common errors therapists make that foster and promote client resistance. Explain the pitfalls of over-questioning when working with resistant clients and how to employ more effective alternative approaches. \nIdentify basic\, overriding principles for dealing with resistance in therapeutic environments. Explain the importance of tending to each principle in therapeutic relationships in order to tactfully manage resistance. \nUnderstand and explain the inherent power of language with regards to resistance. Employ numerous specific linguistic techniques that circumvent resistance and create therapeutic movement.  \nUnderstand methods for dealing with common difficulties such as “Yes\, but…” and “I don’t know” responses.\n\n \nProgram Schedule\n\n\n\n8:00 Introduction\n\n– Common\, outdated definitions vs. modern definitions – An alternate model of resistance – The positive side of resistance – Common mistakes therapists make that foster resistance \n\n\n\n\n9:30 Break \n\n\n  Networking \n\n\n\n\n9:40 Techniques for Managing Resistance \n\n\n– Common mistakes therapists make that foster resistance (continued) – General principles for managing resistance \n\n\n\n10:40 Break\n  Networking\n\n\n\n10:50 Continuation of Techniques \n\n– General principles for managing resistance (continued) – Goal Creating Language and Techniques\n\n\n\n12:00-1:00 Lunch Break \n\n\n  Networking \n\n\n\n\n1:00 Linguistic Techniques \n\n– Pitfalls of over-questioning and alternative approaches – Techniques for dealing with “I don’t know” responses\n\n\n\n2:30 Break \n\n\n  Networking \n\n\n\n2:45 Continuation of Linguistic Techniques\n– Understanding and applying the inherent influence of language – Techniques for developing the desire of change – How to utilize the power of priming\n\n\n4:00 Adjourn\n  Wrap up and Evaluations & networking\n\n\n\n  \nPresenter Bio\n\nClifton Mitchell Ph.D.\, Licensed Psychologist\, is an international clinical trainer and keynote speaker who has a love for teaching and over 23 years training experience.
