Just as a field of grass can be set on fire to stimulate it to grow back greener, healthier, and lusher than before, so can controlled damage (whether to body or to mind) can provoke the healing cascade.
In the physiological realm, superimposing an acute injury on top of a chronic one is sometimes exactly what the body needs to heal – as happens, for example, with high-intensity interval training, intermittent fasting, red light therapy, acupuncture, and Fraxel laser treatments. In truth, a chronic condition might not heal until it is made acute. So, too, in the psychological realm, the ongoing generation of optimally stressful, growth-incentivizing leverage points (created by strategic juxtaposition of the conditioned reality of “old bad” with the enlivening possibility of “new good”) will provide both impetus and opportunity for, first, destabilization of the patient’s dysfunctional modus operandi and, then, restabilization at ever more robust levels of functionality, resilience, and adaptive capacity.
This presentation will carefully demonstrate how participants will be able to construct a dynamic series of universally applicable prototypical statements specifically designed to create – even though counterintuitive – growth-promoting violations of expectation ( mismatch experiences) between what is and what could be.
As with controlled burn, the introduction of corrective challenge in this way (be it in the form of new information, new experience, or new relationship) will provoke the healing cascade and catalyze deep, embodied transformation and growth. Indeed, therapeutic memory reconsolidation strengthens at the broken places and promotes the evolving of psychological rigidity into psychological flexibility.
This program, when attended in its entirety, offers 1.0 APA CEs for Psychologists, 1.0 IL CEUS for Counselors and Social Workers, or 1.0 BBS California CEUs for LPCCs, LPSW, and LMFTs.
