Topic: "Navigate Common Clinical Traps: Socratic Dialogue Demonstration"

Do you sometimes struggle with common clinical traps such as clients looking to the therapist for answers, not completing between session activities, or having a high intolerance for uncertainty?

Padesky demonstrate how her four-stage model of Socratic Dialogue can help you effectively navigate these types of issues in ways that maximize client learning, elicit curiosity and discovery, and improve client outcomes. Participants learn techniques from her recent book, Dialogues for Discovery: Improving Psychotherapy’s Effectiveness (Padesky & Kennerley, 2023), and are encouraged to bring case examples for discussion and role play demonstrations.

Why Are We Doing This?

After several decades of large group workshops, Padesky and Mooney relish the opportunity to meet with small groups of therapists.

Padesky: I have an affinity for therapists who work outside major urban areas and who do not often have access to training. I look forward to offering more affordable training to therapists and graduate students who cannot travel to attend the large workshops.

We love working together, meeting bright, interesting, dedicated therapists. We both had tired of all the months of advance planning and scheduling our large scale workshops required. We believe we can identify everyday issues, barriers, and challenges that therapists face when providing sophisticated, empirically supported CBT. We want to target those issues in brief, succinct, ready to use formats through our Pop Up CBT offerings.
