A Therapist Masterclass with Shaelene – SHIFT Or Stall Out: Targeting Lack of Progress in Therapy

This training will explore how and why therapy can stall, and offer targeted strategies to re-engage clients who present with persistent lack of progress. Grounded in DBT principles, clinicians will learn how to assess client readiness, apply change and acceptance strategies, and use dialectical techniques to move therapy forward.

Learning Objectives:
After attending this training, participants will be able to:

1. Identify 1 change strategies in DBT to facilitate client progress
2. Identify 1 acceptance strategy to apply to facilitate client progress
3. Identify the function of a dialectical strategy when working with stuck clients

This four-hour course will provide an overview of the role the strategy of Observing Limits plays in the overall context of DBT treatment, didactics and practical considerations for effective implementation of the Observing Limits protocols, and tips and tools to help you navigate clinical situations in which therapist limits are stretched. 

The course will be taught in two 2-hour sections over two weeks. 

The first section will focus on providing the foundational knowledge of the strategy/protocols, along with some practices therapists can use with their teams to ensure high-level skills in observing personal limits. 

The second week we will focus on bolstering therapist’s skills for navigating common challenges that therapists face when tensions arise between the clinical presentations of their clients and their own personal limitations as therapists.  

Learning Objectives: 
After attending this training, participants will be able to:

• Describe the DBT strategy of Observing Limits, and list steps for effectively implementing the strategy with clients.
• Evaluate your own implementation of this strategy and determine necessary steps for improving your practice of Observing Limits with clients. 
• Apply critical behavioral analysis to clinical situations in which therapist’s limits are stretched and develop a plan to reduce the strain and improve therapist skills for addressing limits-relevant behaviors with clients.
