This session focuses on interventions and clinical skills you can use to improve client outcomes regardless of approach or therapeutic issues. 

What do psychotherapists and counselors do when clients want to explain rather than experience their feelings? Learn simple but powerful techniques from Victor Yalom for helping clients access their inner world of emotions so they can connect more meaningfully with you and others in their lives.

Clients who struggle in their personal relationships often come to us without the skills necessary for empathy, and the expression of vulnerable feelings., Victor Yalom, presents his work with clients whose overly analytic style leads them to talk about their feelings, rather than actually feel them. Using video clips Yalom demonstrates how to use here-and-now techniques that you can use to help your own clients explore their intra- and interpersonal worlds.

With over 30 years of experience doing therapy, learning from the masters, and creating clinical training videos, Yalom knows that becoming an effective therapist requires watching other skilled clinicians at work. This session will explore the use of process comments, somatic awareness, pacing, self-disclosure and directive techniques.

Participants will learn techniques to help clients improve their relationships, discover new things about themselves and live life more fully.
