Overview

Successful therapy has been proven to boil down to a core set of relational tools, but fostering an effective therapeutic alliance with a client who isn’t interested can easily bring out a host of negative emotions for even a seasoned therapist. Learn how to turn this challenging—and often frustrating—dynamic into therapeutic opportunity while continuing to develop the building blocks of psychotherapy effectiveness.

In this second session with Joel, clinical expert Molyn Leszcz continues to successfully navigate the minefields of psychotherapy with Joel, a highly defensive and angry client. Watch as Leszcz skillfully transforms what is happening in the room between Joel and himself into therapeutic opportunity. With clear callouts, this clinical session will help you master the core relational dynamics of successful therapy.
