Event Description

Promoting Change and Growth in Highly Resistant Clients
Part 2. Managing Critical Junctures in the Counseling Dialogue

This seminar will address common mistakes human service professionals make that foster client resistance and impede change, with a focus on two frequent challenges in client-practitioner interactions: the therapeutic utility of asking questions and the management of  “I don’t know” responses. Specific approaches and techniques that respect cultural differences will be presented with particular attention given to utilizing the inherent power of language to circumvent resistance and overcome impasses.
