Hi Everyone,
For years I have been wanting to do a workshop on this topic. Finally, I am offering one. Attached is a flyer with the details.
Psychodynamic work is about using yourself as a tool for change. It is about the development of a specific type of relationship with clients. In order to be able to evoke and management this relationship, you need to understand the impression you make on clients and be able to manage that impression. I believe, so many therapists, myself included, have never consider this or worked on this aspect of themselves. I believe there is a direct relationship between our ability to understand and manage our image/impression and therapeutic impact/client investment.

Exploring this area can help a therapist’s movement into being self-pay and creating a more intentional professional presence.

My workshop is in-person and is limited to 12 participants. I can offer 6 CEs. Please feel free to reach out to me directly with additional questions. You can also go directly to www.VedutaCenter.com to register.

Thanks,
fran
