Overcoming wounds created by unhealthy family relationships can take years.

Adult clients who grew up with self-absorbed parents — whether abusive, controlling, neglectful, insensitive, or emotionally immature — are triggered in relationships.

It can feel like the progress you make in a session is undone by the next interaction with a loved one.

What if you could find a way to fast-track clients' progress by giving them specific tools and strategies to create change in their relationships NOW?

You don't have to focus on the past first to change the present. You can help your clients break the cycle of self-destruction, distrust, shutting down, feeling less-than, and people-pleasing...

...to create a new legacy of self-respect and healthy boundaries.

This cutting-edge training gives you a clear roadmap to helping your clients articulate and communicate their needs in relationships — and to protect themselves from the hurtful behaviors of others.

You'll join prominent experts Nedra Glover Tawwab, MSW, LCSW, New York Times bestselling author of Set Boundaries, Find Peace and Drama Free, Lindsay Gibson, PsyD, gifted clinician who changed psychological practice by identifying the impact of emotional immaturity, and Joshua Coleman, PhD, foremost authority on family estrangements, to learn:

How to help your clients set and maintain boundaries without feeling guilty
Tools to free clients from the shame and anxiety that keep them in toxic relationships
Strategies for working with clients considering or experiencing estrangement
And much more!

Here's What You'll Learn

Module 1 | A Step-By-Step Guide to Becoming Boundary-Centered

Get ready to deepen your understanding of common boundary issues in unhealthy family relationships and their impact on mental health. You'll learn the eight steps to helping your clients set boundaries in six main life areas. Along with top assessment tips and strategies for increasing clients' motivation, you'll get tools to help clients communicate new boundaries — and enforce them when they've been tested. Use a strengths-based, client-centered approach to show your clients how to increase their self-worth by claiming their boundaries.

Module 2 | Help Clients Achieve Emotional Autonomy from Emotionally Immature People

Why do clients find it so difficult to break free from emotional exploitation and neglect? You'll get the tools you need to teach clients to spot emotional immaturity and disengage from it. Learn how to help your clients transform self-disconnection and distrust into authenticity and confidence as they become relationship leaders. Master effective communication skills, interventions to address fears of being "selfish," strategies to repurpose guilt, and more.

Module 3 | When Boundaries Aren't Enough: Family Estrangements

As our collective understanding of harm in relationships shifts, therapists are more likely to encounter the issue of estrangement in their practices. Respond with confidence to clients who ask your opinion about cutoffs. You'll get strategies to address tension, reduce conflict, and set boundaries — and when estrangement takes place, tools to manage guilt, shame, trauma, and guilt, and strategies for facilitating a potential reconciliation.

Lindsay C. Gibson, PsyD, is the Amazon #1 Best Selling Author of Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents: How to Heal from Distant, Rejecting or Self-Involved Parents (New Harbinger, 2015.) It has sold over 100,000 copies, been translated into 14 languages, and has helped thousands of people reverse their toxic psychological legacy and reclaim their lives. Her unique contribution to the field was to recognize that the anxiety, obsessions, and depression of her clients were often rooted in distorted beliefs and emotional coercions induced by emotionally immature parents. A psychotherapist and psychodiagnostician for over thirty years, Dr. Gibson came to realize how prevalent emotional immaturity was in the family members of her clients. Many had parents who were functional people, not extreme on the spectrum of mental health conditions, yet the destructive phenomenon of parental emotional immaturity had devastating consequences for those who grew up in its wake. Dr. Gibson continues to work as a clinical psychologist in private practice. Her follow-up book Recovering from Emotionally Immature Parents: Practical Tools to Establish Boundaries and Reclaim Your Emotional Autonomy (New Harbinger) was released in 2019.

Helping Clients Manage Unhealthy Family Relationships: A Drama-Free Approach

Featuring Nedra Glover Tawwab, MSW, LCSW

When is a client's family member too toxic to keep? When is it worth it to heal a longstanding family rift? For many of our clients, their families are a source of ongoing pain, hurt, and conflict. It's not always easy to maintain healthy, positive connections with family members who have different ideas about loyalty, love, connection, what's appropriate to share, and how much influence they believe they should have over a family member's personal choices. For therapists, it can be hard to know what to do when clients struggle with intense ambivalence about family members. In this session, you'll learn:

How to help clients know when to stay and when to go
Strategies for healthy communication and boundary settings that may salvage unhealthy relationships
Clear ways to identify dysfunctional family patterns and choose the best path forward
