Helping Clients with Unconsciously-Held Negative Core Beliefs Through Integrative Psychotherapy (IP)

 

Workshop Description:

 

Like it or not, unconsciously–held negative core beliefs are at the base of many decisions we make…and actions we take.  Psychotherapy and personal change practices are often sabotaged, undermined, and unsuccessful because we play out the negative core beliefs without conscious awareness.  Consciously identifying these core beliefs, and taking action in new directions is central to lasting therapeutic change.  Integrative Psychotherapy (IP), is a creative and powerful clinical approach to consciously address and change negative core beliefs. 

In this workshop, participants will be given the opportunity to understand how utilizing IP practices apply to theories of unconsciously–held negative core beliefs during clinical work.  Case material will be used to support concepts presented, and considerations will be discussed regarding if, when, and how to introduce this work to clients.

 

Learning Objectives for Participants:

  1. Be able to define what constitutes unconsciously-held negative core beliefs, and how these impact psychotherapy.
  2. Both, understand what IP is, and how it can be successfully incorporated into clinical work.  
  3. Learn the factors for determining if IP is a good fit with clients, and cite five clinical advantages of applying it with clients.
  4. Identify four examples of how core belief work and IP can be used in ageneral psychotherapy practice with clients of all ages and capacities.
 
Time Frame: This workshop can be taught comfortably in 6 hours.

Workshop Testimonials

Mark LaChapelle, MSW, LICSW, LMFT, BCD
Psychotherapist

“Psychotherapy often involves helping clients peel back layers of their life journeys. Jeffry’s ideas about identifying and positively transforming unconsciously held core negative beliefs have a powerful complementarity with this process. Following initial resistance to the experiential aspects of the workshop, I found the exercises to be personally and professionally rich and meaningful.  I tapped into these new tools immediately in my subsequent work with clients.”

Kerry Speed, MA, LADC
Former Psychotherapist and Chemical Dependency Counselor

“Prior to this workshop, I thought that the content on core beliefs and integrative psychotherapy was going to be dry and theoretical.   Was I ever wrong!  This workshop was inspiring, powerful, and helped me see that I have many creative juices that have yet to flow in my clinical work. Jeffry presented masterfully with a unique blend of excellent dyad and demo work, engaging concepts, and artful presentation.  I will be at the April training.”

Dodi Thorman, MA, LICSW

“I needed CEU’s and thought this would be an okay way to get them.  I did not anticipate that I would walk away from this workshop feeling as empowered and excited as I do!  What a fabulous workshop.  The content on adult mature Self-supporting the regressed Self, was awesome, and I especially liked the artful melding of EMDR with imagery and other techniques you used in the demos.  Great humor, with practical content and easy to use skills…a joy to be there.  I am looking forward to your April training!”
