Course Description:
Research has shown that your patient’s resources are the most important variables in successful psychotherapy outcomes. The Therapeutic Attachment Relationship is the most effective key to access and facilitate your patient’s conscious and nonconscious resources. In addition, the Therapeutic Attachment Relationship enables you to harness your own emotional resources to synergize with your patient’s resources. Utilizing this knowledge and these strategies will maximize your engagement in psychotherapy and prime you and your patients for successful treatment outcomes. Therapeutic Attachment Relationship is the most important therapeutic treatment that you provide in psychotherapy.
How does this work and what does it look like? The Therapeutic Attachment Relationship creates a clear and present therapeutic collaboration. Therapeutic Attachment Relationships interrupt tendencies towards dependency and defiance [counter dependency] You and your patients are co-therapists working together constantly to facilitate their resources. Working in these ways will interrupt your patient’s expectations that the therapist is the expert. They will no longer look to you to fix their problems, but rather believe and trust in their own resources to manage their emotions and move forward in their lives.
