[Audio] BT14 Short Course 08 – A Brief Solution-Focused Model for Individual – Robert Johansen, PhD

Description:

This presentation teaches an adaptation of the “empty-chair” that targets trauma. Clients enact a dialogue between the “experiencing” and “self-stifling” parts of the self to discover the true impacts of trauma. Through a structured, step-wise process, clients move from less threatening to more threatening material, eliciting emotions, needs, and desires that have been submerged due to trauma. Supportive neuroscience research explains. Includes demonstration.

Educational Objectives:

1. Learn brief, solution-focused, treatment strategies (model) for treating individuals/couples.
2. Learn how to help their clients analyze the stories each tells about the other in a constructive manner.
3. Learn how to differentiate character-based vs. self-generated forms of love.
