FROM STUCK TO SOLUTION: Using pattern interruptions to create movement in a session

2 General HPCSA CPD Points

Pre-Recorded for you to complete at your convenience

Every single therapist I know has told me that they often get stuck in a session. It is hard being a therapist and being a therapist in a mental health pandemic is really tough. Our clients are more overwhelmed, more anxious and more depressed than ever before and often it feels like we are spinning in problem saturated stories and do not know how to get out of it or help the client change direction.

Creating a pattern interruption is one of the most effective and impactful things to do in a session. Just changing the pattern; this might be on a language level, on a tone level, on a behaviour level or even on a topic level is highly effective. Pattern interruptions changes the energy in the room, shifts the attention in the session, brings new creativity and ultimately helps the therapist and the client become unstuck.

This webinar will focus on how to create a pattern interruption in a session, we will look at a few case studies where the therapist is stuck and how doing something totally different shifts the session toward effectiveness and brevity.
