Description

Do you have a client like Beth?

Beth had multiple unsuccessful relationships, a spotty employment record, and a long history of acting out. In our sessions, she enjoyed telling me extensive details of exploits and angered moments, and would lash out at seemingly inappropriate moments. Beth would call at odd hours to “test me” – to see if I cared. She was highly sensitive to feedback or criticism and challenged me every session. Beth’s greatest fear was loneliness and her behavior made it a reality.

Can you help her?

Treating Cluster B personality disorders is especially challenging and I know the feeling of being overwhelmed and stuck. After years of seeing so many of these clients struggle with their lives, I developed skills that have served my clients and me well – improving treatment outcomes and reducing the stress.

I can show you how!

Join me for two exciting action packed days and I will help you improve your treatment results for clients along the antisocial, borderline, narcissistic and histrionic spectrum. From foundations of Cluster B pathology, to assessment resources, experiential exercises, clear and concrete strategies, and case studies, you’ll leave with a deeper sense of the client, new treatment techniques, renewed inspiration and growing confidence!

Don’t delay! Transforming your practice starts with your registration. Become a better therapist and help clients like Beth live healthier, happier lives.

Don’t miss your chance to:

  • Develop concrete tools and apply impactful therapeutic techniques to reduce destructive cluster B symptoms and behaviors
  • Take home worksheets, exercises and other resources to help you assess, plan, and implement personalized treatment strategies.
  • Prevent self-harming, homicidal and suicidal behaviors
