Where Do You Want to Take Your Clients?

The natural instinct for most therapists is to try to connect with clients, making them feel heard and understood as they share their deepest problems and emotions. But what if we approached the healing process from a different angle? Would we see different or more effective results?

Courtney Armstrong—a trauma therapist who incorporates several creative techniques into her work—suggests approaching sessions with the question, "Where do I want to take the client?," in mind. By focusing on the healing path you want to take them on, rather than trying to deeply understand their issues, you open yourself up to a whole new range of therapeutic techniques.

Watch the clip below from Courtney's session in our all-new Networker Webcast series, Creativity in the Consulting Room, to hear her talk about a specific client she saw who needed guidance more than she needed understanding.

This is just one of the creative therapy techniques Courtney will discuss in her webcast session.
