Abstract:

Using foundational principles of attachment and interpersonal neurobiology this workshop will help the participants understand the ways self-disclosure and shared experience can enhance and deepen the therapy relationship, counter Early Maladaptive Schemas and build positive affect and schemas. Participants will have an opportunity to examine the ways in which their own schemas and modes may become activated when doing this “deeper” work and have the opportunity to practice these skills

Target Audience:

Everyone

Learning Objectives:

* Understand the different ways we can use appropriate self-disclosure to enhance the therapeutic relationship

* Participants will be able to use appropriate self-disclosure in the service of challenging early maladaptive schemas.

* Participants will be in a position to understand the ways self-disclosure can provide a corrective relational and emotional experience.
