Are you worried you’re not handling your clients’ emotions correctly?

For centuries, most emotions were viewed as weaknesses, irrational, and something to avoid at all costs. But recent research has proven how emotion can be a powerful tool in shaping our connection to others and motivating us to change. When therapists help clients deepen emotion, they attain better outcomes in therapy.

Too often, however, therapists haven’t been trained on how to work with intense emotion in the consulting room and harness it as a therapeutic ally. And because many of us become uncomfortable when clients cry or scream in front of us, we’re missing powerful opportunities for deep healing and change.

That’s why we’ve brought together some of the field’s leading innovators—Susan Johnson, Jay Efran, Rick Hanson, Diana Fosha, Joan Klagsburn and Ron Potter-Efron—for this online video course on the most powerful ways to make your clients’ emotions allies toward healing.

When you enroll in this course, you’ll learn:

• How to handle a client’s emotions, even when they’re unpleasant or out of control
• What to do when a client cries
• How to engage emotional clients in a way that helps them heal
• How to recognize facial expressions as an entry point into emotional healing
• How neuropsychology can help us understand emotion

Lean how emotion can guide your clients toward healing, and get the deep understanding and practical approaches you need to enhance your practice!
