Advanced Clinical Skills - Online Advanced Training
Our goal is that you leave this training with an expanded understanding of how and why to use different interventions at different times, and to support you in being creative within the structure of the dialogue process. We will sharpen your use of sentence stems and doubling to increase connection, safety, and forward movement with your couples. Together we will clarify and deepen the essential theory pieces that help keep you calm and connected to your couples…yes, all your couples! As you master the Imago ‘Basics’ we will now add the skills to become ‘Brilliant’ and trust the depth of the Dialogue process even more.
The program is designed to review, deepen and expand the clinical skills that were taught in the Imago training. You will move beyond the mechanics of facilitation and learn to use sentence stems, doubling and focusing in a creative and artful way. You will work towards a stronger integration of Imago into your therapy parctice and develop an Imago Therapeutic stance at the proficient, expert-level.
In this course, participants will learn to...
