Tracking # 20-925345
Course overview
Knowing the importance of the therapeutic relationship with an oppositional adolescent is one thing; knowing how to build that relationship with someone who wants nothing to do with you is another entirely. This 90-minute seminar weaves together the art of relationship building with the science of connection in a relatable, practical way. This compelling seminar will fundamentally change your approach with this challenging (and rewarding) population. You'll learn: Must-have strategies for building trust, repairing inevitable ruptures, and de-escalating crises 15+ "side-door" principles for working with withdrawn and challenging young clients Why behavior charts, worksheets, and natural consequences aren't going to (and never did) create lasting change Trauma and neurobiology's impact on meaningful connection
