Clients who struggle in their personal relationships often come to us without the skills necessary for empathy, and the expression of vulnerable feelings. In this recording of a live webinar, Psychotherapy.net’s founder, Victor Yalom, presents his work with Hamed, a scientist whose overly analytic style leads him to talk about his feelings, rather than actually feel them. Asking clients "How do you feel" is a good start, but for most clients simply not enough. Using video clips taken from their third session, Yalom demonstrates numerous powerful techniques to help clients deepen their internal discovery, ultimately creating more options for them.

With over 30 years of experience doing therapy, learning from the masters, and creating clinical training videos, Yalom believes that becoming an effective therapist requires watching other skilled clinicians at work. By watching him use process comments, somatic awareness, pacing, self-disclosure and directive techniques you will learn new ways to help your clients increase their awareness instead of telling themselves and you the same old stories..

Learning Objectives:

• Interventions for moving stuck clients forward
• Techniques for maintaining rapport while challenging clients to dig deeper
• In-session exercises for building connections and heightening awareness
• Tips for honing your therapeutic presence
