Tough Customers: Is It Them or Us?

Tough CustomersBy Rich Simon As therapists, many of us practice in two different worlds. In the first, we see polite, well-behaved, articulate clients with solid values. They engage fully in therapy, talk cogently about their problems, listen attentively to our responses, make reasonably good-faith efforts to follow our suggestions, and sooner or later get better. No wonder we genuinely like these people!

Daniel Siegel, M.D.

Interpersonal neurobiology can not only deepen our understanding of the core self-regulatory processes underlying mental health, but offer a practical model to guide our moment-to-moment interventions in the consulting room. We know from neuroscience that the therapeutic relationship promotes lasting change because it alters the connections in the client's brain. Focusing on typical presenting issues, such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and couples conflict, this course will demonstrate ways therapists can use clients' relationships to promote more stable, adaptive, flexible and energizing brain functioning. Through concrete examples, participants will learn practical applications of interpersonal neurobiology in the consulting room.
