Activity Description

Psychotherapy, often called talk therapy, is a dynamic and collaborative process where patients work with licensed clinical social workers, marriage and family therapists, addiction counselors, or clinical counselors to reflect and process their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors for an opportunity to adapt and absolve. The therapeutic relationship, which is the cornerstone of the entire process, is fundamental to the success of this process. This alliance is built on trust, empathy, collaboration, and mutual respect to create a safe environment for clients to delve into their experiences and foster personal growth. At the same time, the clinician maintains professional and ethical boundaries.

In this activity, participants gain a comprehensive understanding of the various modalities and theoretical approaches of psychotherapy and explore the critical elements that constitute an effective therapeutic relationship. Participants can apply and adapt these practical skills immediately in their daily work. Interprofessional team members enhance their competencies in shared decision-making, further integrating themselves into a supportive healthcare community. The collaborative nature of the training encourages the sharing of diverse perspectives and expertise through fostering a holistic approach to client care. This synergy improves individual skills and also strengthens the overall effectiveness of the healthcare team, leading to better patient outcomes and a more supportive healthcare environment.
