This interactive workshop devles into the best use of self to support clients in their goals and healing. When there is an impasse in the therapeutic process with clients, even highly skilled and informed professionals can feel burnout. This training hones in on the process of co-regulation and use of self in therapy to maximize the connection and healing. Through understanding how therapists and clients impact one another, providers can connect more deeply, work through challenges and be more proactive against burnout. Practitioners will obtain skills in mindset, techniques for co-regulation, connection and self-care.

As a result of this workshop, participants will be better able to

1. define coregulation between therapist and client and provide examples.
2. understand the role of attachment styles in coregulation.
3. integrate specific co-regulation techniques to promote more effective interactions and therapeutic outcomes.
