*This training is an expanded offering of the 4-hour workshop I provided in February. The June training will be more in-depth, offer more time to learn practical skills, and will officially provide CE's (for an additional fee) Given the realities of social distancing, the training will be offered via Zoom. However, the training will be considered an in-person training for licensure boards ("Live Interactive Webinar").
Workshop Description:
Different psychotherapies have varying names for the challenging relational dynamics that can develop in psychotherapy encounters. For example, psychoanalytic literature has coined the phrase “Negative Therapeutic Reaction”, while modern behavioral treatments have described “Therapy Interfering Behaviors”.
Tyler Beach, MSW, LCSW is offering a 6.5-hour training on working with clients who tend to “externalize” their presenting psychotherapy problems. The workshop is designed specifically to empower therapists to help clients who consistently identify their internal problems outside of themselves, mostly within their relationships and also with their treatment providers (towards the therapist).
We therapists generally have ample training in being helpful, knowing how to repair ruptures, and creating a safe environment. But in some cases, these same skills can backfire with this subset of clients. The relational dynamics in these situations can leave the therapist frustrated, burnt out, or even traumatized. Indeed, therapists will frequently complain of “shutting down” or “freezing”. There is commonly a sense of dread that develops for the therapist in this work.
From there, treatment outcomes tend to worsen and the therapeutic alliance begins to break down. Clients with these characteristics are commonly labeled as "difficult" or "problematic". Therapists come to learn to avoid clients who present with these problems and commonly terminate treatment when these dynamics begin to show up with existing clients. The clients are commonly left with a growing sense of shame, which only exacerbates their relationship problems and overall mental health difficulties.
Borrowing concepts from Experiential Dynamic Therapies (EDT’s), Attachment Theory, Developmental Psychodynamic Models, & Functional Analytic Psychotherapy, workshop participants can learn a new skill set to meet these clients where they are and intervene more efficiently (and ideally with less trauma for both parties).
The first three hours of the workshop will cover relevant concepts and information from developmental literature. The last three and a half hours will cover specific and concrete intervention strategies for you to leave with.
