Thursday, September 19, 2024 

 9am-4pm PT, 10am-5pm MT, 11am-6pm CT, 12pm-7pm ET 

The profession of psychotherapy / counselling was built on the medical model, which perpetuates a pathologizing of the client. This workshop is designed to equip practitioners who wish to sit with their clients in non-pathologizing ways. You will learn how to take the training you have already acquired, along with each modality’s interventions, and translate them into a non-pathologizing perspective. It is advised that you purchase the textbook and workbook to help you apply the theories and principles to your practice.

Participants will be able to: 

• Understand the difference between pathology and non-pathology within the context of psychotherapy / counselling
  
• Understand the key principles / theories behind a non-pathologizing approach to counselling
  
• Demonstrate familiarity with the literature behind the key principles / theories of non-pathology
  
• Demonstrate familiarity with the application of the non-pathologizing principles
  
• Develop a non-pathologizing perspective for your main modality and related interventions
