Room: Nautical Wheeler
Speaker(s):
John Carpenter, MSW, LCSW
Presentation: Many times a therapist can feel overwhelmed or “stuck” with a complicated case or lack of helpful information to be able to move forward. This presentation will help the clinician see their own case in a completely new way — exposed by experiential techniques, visual displays, props to illustrate psychological impacts, emotional distance, strength of relations, hidden effect of therapist, metaphorical imagery, and actual emotional ages. These experiential approaches will help the therapist as well as the whole audience to see and feel new ideas to help each difficult case. No identifying names or information is necessary.
Objectives:
- Describe new experiential techniques for assessing client situations
- Review one’s case in an experiential manner
- Use visual props to illustrate relationships
- To learn how a therapist position might be blocking progress
- To learn how to use this model for supervising staff’s cases
