It’s a perennial challenge for therapists: to be effective with clients (particularly when therapy gets stuck or stalled) and to avoid burnout and boredom. Drawing on basic neuroscience concepts and showing how they can be put into practice, this book delivers 10 practical, creative strategies that therapists can use with clients to help spark their “emotional brain” and create new neural pathways that engage and advance the healing process. Examples include enlivening the therapeutic alliance, eliciting exciting goals, invoking inspirational imagery, and using humor, music, and movement.
In short, it’s a concise guide to shaking things up in therapy, for both therapist and client.
