Transform Your Clinical Skills
When clients become cynical about the therapeutic process, feeling that their behavior has been constantly pathologized by friends, family, and former therapists, establishing the therapeutic alliance with traditional methods becomes a grueling uphill battle. By reframing therapy to focus on clients' strengths, not deficits, Positive Psychology bypasses resistance and earns trust early on by giving clients tools they can use to attack the day with grit and gratitude. This workshop updates Positive Psychology techniques by exploring new strategies and exercises to help clients identify, build, and harness mindsets and life skills. These techniques are proven to transform well-being, boosting engagement, creativity, motivation, energy, resilience, and productivity. We'll discuss cutting-edge research that identifies new applications of the latest findings, such as how to assess whether goals will result in better health or maladjustment, how to achieve the benefits of meditation (without meditating), how a simple shift in mindset makes success far more likely, and what strategies help the stuck client. Throughout the course, we'll investigate the quantifiable nature of happiness, exploring evidence-based measurement tools that, when employed strategically in sessions, have been shown to improve clinical outcomes by 30%.
