Description:
Therapy often starts out well and then somewhere on the journey we hit a roadblock. What do you do when you are not seeing progress, feel frustrated, seem to be putting in more energy than the client, or find yourself questioning your competence or checking out in session? This workshop will zero in on what can get us stuck in our psychotherapeutic work and teach specific strategies to navigate these impasses, illustrating this with case examples. Drawing from DBT, Katherine will help participants conceptualize treatment-interfering behaviors (TIBs) on the part of clients and therapists both, and how to prioritize and address these across therapy approaches. She will provide strategies to work through TIBs when they arise, as well address them more proactively in assessment, goal setting, and ongoing progress monitoring with clients. Katherine will draw from principles from DBT and CBT case conceptualization; however, no prior knowledge of DBT is required.
Learning Objectives:
At the end of the training participants will be able to:
1. Identify at least 3 treatment interfering behaviors (TIBs) by clients and therapists that commonly occur in therapy relationships.
2. Conceptualize TIBs and target them directly as a primary focus of treatment.
3. Name and apply 3 methods for working proactively with TIBs in session.
