Although you pride yourself on being able to offer your clients plenty of support, do you sometimes worry that you might not be providing them quite enough challenge?

This workshop will teach participants to construct a series of growth-incentivizing interventions specifically designed to catalyze deep and enduring psychodynamic change in your clients – by facilitating their advancement, whatever their diagnosis and whatever their level of functionality, from less healthy rigidity (defense) to more healthy flexibility (adaptation). These interventions can be strategically formulated to offer just the right balance between anxiety-provoking challenge and anxiety-relieving support.

Dr. Stark will be providing participants with a set of therapeutic tools – both minimally stressful and optimally stressful interventions – that they will be able to call upon during universally relevant, pivotal clinical moments with your clients.

These interventions will incentivize your client to (1) confront anxiety-provoking truths about her self, (2) grieve anxiety-provoking truths about the objects of her desire, (3) take ownership of anxiety-provoking truths about her relational self, and (4) access anxiety-provoking truths about her private self.

Participants will receive Dr. Stark’s newly created 18-page CLINICAL INTERVENTIONS GUIDE – a collection of concise but comprehensive information about the wide range of interventions that you will be able to use in order to provide both impetus and opportunity for your clients’ transformation and growth. Participants will also receive PDFs of the richly detailed PowerPoint Slides.

This program, when attended in its entirety, offers 2.0 CEs for Psychologists, 2.0 IL CEUS for Counselors and Social Workers, or 2.0 BBS California CEUs for LPCCs, LPSWs, and LMFTs.
