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!

Saturday Workshops

410 510 The Art of Mindful Listening Part 1 & Part 2

Ronald Siegel

Saturday All-Day: Two Part

Even the most dedicated therapists have times when it’s difficult to pay attention fully to clients. . .

Personal worries, unanswered phone messages, social plans, sleepiness, and other such distractions can make listening a challenge. In this workshop, we’ll explore mindfulness practices that’ll help you clear away the mental and emotional obstacles to full presence and engagement with your clients. You’ll learn how to use these practices to distinguish between personal conflicts and those of your clients, hold theoretical models and maps more lightly, and successfully surf waves of threatening emotion in sessions. By the workshop’s end, you’ll know how to use mindful awareness to focus on the causes of suffering beneath symptoms of anxiety, depression, substance abuse, and other disorders. You’ll also have a powerful ally to help you experience more moments of genuine psychological freedom and connection with your clients. (This session will continue with Workshop 510.)
