Description

Encountering clients with persistent emotional and behavioral symptoms can leave a therapist overwhelmed and not knowing where to start. Imagine if you could effectively treat these clients in ways that move beyond merely addressing symptoms to healing the shattered self using evidence-based interventions from a wide array of current psychotherapy models.

This course recording integrates advanced techniques from multiple evidence-based models and supported by the latest research in neuroscience on the default mode network, all in a way that you can integrate into treatment immediately.

Techniques for healing the shattered self are often scattered among many treatment models, but they are not coordinated in a comprehensive treatment plan to address the client holistically to build resilience and bolster hope.

Watch expert Steve Johnson, Ph.D., ScD, for this recording. His cutting-edge approach will show you how to develop a coordinated, comprehensive treatment plan to treat clients who are experiencing severe and persistent mental, emotional, behavioral, and interpersonal symptoms due to a shattered self.

You will learn how to:

  • Go beyond symptom reduction to develop a coordinated, comprehensive treatment plan
  • Time and coordinate the interventions to maximize healing at multiple levels of the self to build resilience
  • Integrates exposure and present-centered techniques that will ensure excellent outcomes of each are obtained but without the high dropout rate of exposure therapies
  • Help clients with a shattered self grieve the loss of self to create a new, more resilient self that reconnects with others, life, and the world in satisfying ways

Advanced skills to effectively treat shattered clients who present:

  • Severe repeated trauma
  • Complicated grief
  • Treatment resistant major depression
  • Difficult anxiety disorders
  • Debilitating obsessive compulsive disorder
  • Major childhood adverse events
  • Poly substance abuse disorders and more!
