Working in the Here and Now: Deepening Therapeutic Encounters Part 2
by Victor Yalom

Webinar Series: Deepening Your Therapy Skills

Therapists can easily fall back on intellectual discussions, abstractions, and analyzing thoughts with anxious or depressed clients, when the real struggle is connecting with their feelings and, in turn, with others. Learn to harness the therapeutic power of the here-and-now to free clients who are walled off from themselves and others so you can help them begin to live authentic, connected lives.

Clients learn early on to protect themselves from painful experiences and vulnerable feelings, resulting in isolation, despair, and a sense of hopelessness. Clinicians who are confident, ready, and willing to use the “here-and-now” can offer themselves and the therapeutic relationship as a safe training ground to help clients navigate their intra- and interpersonal relationships. Using, and then discussing video clips from his second session with Heather, a lonely single mom, Yalom guides you through the challenging intimacies of therapy so that you can help your own clients fully experience their emotions and build meaningful and gratifying relationships.

With more than three decades of providing therapy, learning directly from the masters, and creating clinical training videos, Yalom knows firsthand the challenges and importance of moving beyond simply talking with clients about their problems. In continuing his work with Heather, he masterfully weaves together radical presence, humor, therapeutic metaphor, and emotional feedback with Heather. By sitting alongside them, you will feel confident harnessing the here-and-now to connect more deeply with your own clients. You will also learn how to take risks in therapy that might at first feel threatening — such as when he asks Heather “How do you feel towards me?” — so that you can enhance your therapeutic outcome and your clients’ personal and interpersonal well-being.

If you found the first session with Heather compelling and felt empowered to try some of those here-and-now techniques, then grab a front row seat, and continue your journey of growth, right here, right now!
