Five Mistakes You Don't Want to Make

Despite our very best intentions therapists are only humans. And naturally we make mistakes. Inside the therapy room mistakes can have damaging effects on the therapeutic process and outcome. Sometimes we are unaware of these mistakes and miss out on potentially important learning opportunities. Furthermore, we are sometimes so afraid of making any mistakes at all that our behavioral repertoire is limited and ruled by control efforts and lack of contact with the present moment, the client and our own values. 

This webinar explores 5 common therapist mistakes in a compassionate and humorous way. Through self-disclosure and role-plays we will explore these mistakes and ways of avoiding them. Participant are invited to re-visit their own therapist mistakes and transform these into learning opportunities.

Learning objectives:

• List 5 common mistakes made by therapists

• Transform mistakes into learning opportunities

• Practice skills of psychological flexibility
