Do you ever
-
Feel physically or mentally drained after a session?
-
Start to dread seeing a particular (or indeed any) client?
-
Feel as if you've taken on at least part of your client's problems?
-
Think about them in the middle of the night?
-
Get ill more often than normal?
-
Worry that you might have to change career?
A high proportion of therapists experience exhaustion after dealing with certain clients. This often includes friends and family members. If you've ever understood the term 'energy vampire' then this is the course for you.
It's all too easy to allow empathy and connection to create a less than healthy rapport. Quite unconsciously you might find yourself matching body language, speech patterns, voice tones, energy, emotions and even points of view, of someone who is in distress. The more intensely 'negative' they feel, the more they are likely to impact on you.
Being very detached is possible, but both you and the client will lose a lot in the process. So how to create a healthy balance and keep you energised?
-
Build a powerful, resourceful state that will be valuable in every area of your life. Feel empowered, calm, clear minded, positive and energised, flexible and aware. Learn how to make that state available at will! Great for you, and a real asset to be able to teach your clients too.
-
Learn to use positive rapport deliberately - matching only the neutral and healthy elements of your client's physiology, language and mood.
-
Find out how 'pace and lead' works so you can use rapport to move your client into a better state subtly and effortlessly.
-
Create healthy boundaries in your work and life, based on your personal values.
-
Recognise the warning signals so you can turn things around - fast!
-
Discover how to recognise the most subtle signals from clients - become even more effective with less effort
-
Enjoy your career more, for as long as you choose
