Workshop summary:

Teenagers/adolescents have long been the most challenging types of clients to counselling therapists. Their unique internal push-pull world, combined with significant biological and social changes they won’t experience as intensely again until age 50, make working with them. This webinar will teach listeners how to establish a connection with teens in order to effect positive influence and change. Using her signature here-and-now, problem/solution, and self-empowering approach, Dr. Natasha will teach attendees:

  •  Connecting with the unconnectable: Top strategies for building trust and a therapeutic bond with teens
  • Understanding and reframing adolescent social needs, reactance (i.e. as natural resistance – NOT therapeutic resistance) and inherent loneliness as context for positive gains in treatment process
  • How to differentiate (and help parents differentiate) between “normal healthy teenage behaviour” and concerning/at-risk behaviour.
  • How to balance privacy between counselling teens and working/consulting with their parents on their progress
