Introduction
You likely know why your patients and clients get stuck. You likely know why they feel unfulfilled. However, what is missing for us is how to truly help them get to freedom. In a framework in which the more things change, the more they stay the same, it is evident why our clients are barely surviving despite all the work they’ve been doing with us.
Would you like to help your patients and clients address the core problem once and for all, and get the freedom they came to us for? If so, join us for this workshop and be ready to meet the following objectives.
What you’ll learn
At the end of this online seminar, you will have:
- Understood the role of illusory thoughts in sickness, and learned how to help your patients and clients shift away from them.
- Appreciated how much so many of your patients and clients' goals are defense-based, and learned how to help them formulate goals within the Best Interest Principle paradigm.
- Understood the mechanism of self-defense, why it leads to sickness, and learned how to use this new knowledge to help your patients and clients free themselves.
Who is this for?
This course is for any clinician invested in learning new or honing existing skills to be able to use in dynamic ways to support their patients and clients and to end suffering.
