Course Description: This live CE event helps clinicians distinguish avoidance from resistance and understand how these patterns emerge in therapy. Participants will learn to recognize shutdown, dissociation, and ambivalence without pathologizing the client. The training offers brief, practical strategies for pacing, re-engagement, and restoring therapeutic momentum.
Learning Objectives:
- Differentiate avoidance, shutdown, and treatment resistance based on observable clinical markers and client presentation.
- Recognize and assess signs of dissociation, ambivalence, and nervous system shutdown without pathologizing the client.
- Implement brief, evidence-informed strategies for pacing, re-engagement, and restoring therapeutic momentum when clients appear stuck.
