ACTION APPROACHES IN INDIVIDUAL THERAPY
Friday, October 25, 2008
Therapists who work with individual clients may find themselves frustrated when progress seems to reach a plateau, or when clients have difficulty in or resistance to articulating their feelings. Action approaches can offer alternative strategies that energize clinical work and help you and your clients move in new and more productive directions.
This workshop provides participants with immediately useful interventions that can be used in individual settings, including elements of psychodrama, drama therapy, movement, and other expressive therapies. Participants will learn and practice utilizing a range of action techniques.
Objectives:
Participants will be able to:
o Demonstrate useful action-oriented, therapeutic interventions that will be immediately usable in their own practices and/or work settings;
o Articulate ways in which action approaches enhance the practice of individual, cognitive behavioral psychotherapy and related approaches; and
o Explain and demonstrate ways in which action methods may be safely utilized with clients with a range of presenting problems.
COPING WITH COMPASSION FATIGUE
Saturday, October 26, 2008
There is a soul weariness that comes with caring and from daily doing business with the handiwork of fear. Sometimes it lives at the edges on one’s life, brushing against hope and barely making its presence known. At other times, it comes crashing in, overtaking one with its vivid images of another’s terror with its profound demands for attention; nightmares, strange fears and generalized hopelessness. [Beth Hudnall Stamm,1999]
Compassion Fatigue is common to human service providers, especially those who work with survivors of trauma. It is a combination of exposure to the stories of others, empathic sensitivity to suffering, restimulation of personal, unresolved issues, and inadequate support and/or self care. This workshop will explore the cause and identifying signs of compassion fatigue and support participants in developing strategies for dealing with it. It will also review the neurophysiology of the traumatic experience as a guide for both clinical practice and self care.
Objectives:
Participants will be able to:
- Articulate the major causes of compassion fatigue and identify the elements that are active in their work or practice;
- Describe the basic neurophysiological response of the body to traumatic events and/or the witnessing thereof;
- Create a self-care plan for the coming weeks/months/years as a prophylaxis against burnout.
