Building Resilience and Enhancing Treatment Outcomes

The presentation is appropriate for psychotherapists. 

Tough cases, stuck clients, partial recovery.  This workshop focuses on a number of neglected issues that can be responsible for treatment failures or inadequate responses, along with action-oriented approaches for resolving these issues.  

Four primary topics are explored.

• Common underlying factors that are often not identified and account for many cases of poor treatment outcomes
• High yield complimentary treatments 
• Neuroplasticity
• It's more than just psychopathology

Participants will learn and be able to utilize:

1. How to identify unsuspected medical conditions that account for many cases of treatment resistance and unnecessary suffering;
2. High-yield intervention strategies that significantly improve affect regulation, including techniques designed to increase deep sleep, overcome low energy and rapidly de-escalate intense painful emotions;  
3. About psychotherapy techniques that facilitate neuroplasticity--enduring brain changes that can facilitate more effective coping and also address long-standing personality problems--how brain change can open one up to more authentic living;
4. How to implement lifestyle changes that contribute to a greater sense of well-being...including ten of the most potent, research-supported life skills that promote happiness and meaningfulness
