[Audio] BT14 Workshop 05 – Tools of Generative Psychotherapy: Helping Clients Develop Self-Leadership Skills – Stephen Gilligan, PhD

This process requires the cultivation of self-leadership (and self-COACH) skills, such that a person’s performance self and observer self-work in a mutually respectful, harmonious pattern. The workshop presents some core methods of this approach, including somatic modeling, self-scaling, and engaging the creative unconscious. A demonstration and multiple case examples will illustrate how such methods can allow psychotherapy to be a deeply positive, effective conversation.

Educational Objectives:

1. Identify three aspects of a self-leadership state.
2. Describe three methods for developing each of these aspects in the client.
3. Describe three ways that self-leadership processes can create positive therapeutic change.
