Inhalt:
Tag 1: Imagination
Imagery rescripting is generally regarded as one of the most effective techniques within schema therapy. However, it is often difficult to apply this technique. For instance, therapists are regularly faced with challenging situations in which, for example, the client says 'I have no memories of my childhood' or 'I don't want to dredge up those old memories, what would be the point of that?'. Furthermore, patients have often been so damaged by their childhoods that childhood memories are very emotionally charged. As a result, therapists are inhibited from using imagery to bring back images from that charged past for fear of decompensation.
This day aims to make therapists more proficient in applying imagery rescripting. Existing skills will be refined and challenging situations discussed and practised. During the workshop, the most recent insights and experiences of this method will be shared.
The workshop is aimed at therapists who are already working to some extent with Imagery Rescripting and who wish to increase their skills and the effectiveness of this intervention. You do not have to be an expert to benefit from this workshop but there is definitely inspiration to be found for the more experienced therapists as well!
The objective is that this day should be an enjoyable, educational experience involving a lot of practice within a secure atmosphere, in order to enable the therapists to apply imagination rescripting more often and more effectively.
Tag 2: Stühlearbeit
Although there are several effective therapeutic methods and techniques, it often still remains difficult to make the transition from a rational belief to a corrective emotional experience which contributes to real change. Clients often will say: ’I know my beliefs may not be rational, but I still feel anxious/depressed…...’.
The chair technique is an emotion focused technique that has proven to help create those corrective emotional experiences needed to bridge the gap between ‘knowing’ and ‘feeling’. Although this technique has been used for decades in different therapy models, it is with the development of schema therapy that more and more therapist started to use this technique over the last 20 years. Chair work nowadays is considered to be an effective technique in the treatment of anxiety- and depressive disorders, eating disorders, addiction, couples therapy and personality disorders.
Despite its growing popularity, it is often difficult to apply the technique. Both therapists and clients might feel awkward doing chair work, and for that reason some therapists avoid using this powerful and effective technique. This day is specifically developed for Schema therapists who want to refine their skills in the use of Chair work. Many therapists experience this technique to be difficult. Either they feel themselves not experienced enough since it’s not their usual way of working with patients. Or they encounter specific challenging situations that haven’t been covered in their basic ST training, e.g. the coping mode is so strong that it doesn’t make any difference to let the patient sit in the chair of the Vulnerable Child mode.
This training course aims to provide specific methods to fine tune the already existing skills of the participants in order to make them more ef
fective and efficient in working with parent- and or coping modes. In order to make this workshop successful there will be a lot of role play exercises in which the participants have to practice the demonstrated methods.
