Empathic interventions are a core skill of psychotherapy. Through empathy, the therapist attunes, in a moment-by-moment manner, to the client’s frame of reference and emotional experience, understanding the client’s perspective while accurately reflecting, in both depth and intensity, the essential core experience that the client expresses. Decades of research have shown that this nuanced skill is significantly correlated with therapy outcomes, making it essential for therapists of all theoretical backgrounds.

This workshop will focus on the theory and practice of empathic interventions and its uses in deepening emotional processes that lead to emotional transformation through psychotherapy. Particular emphasis will be given to teaching and showing examples of key empathic interventions; and using deliberate practice role-plays to consolidate the attendee's competence in this skill.

This interactive workshop provides participants with an opportunity to develop their understanding of goals in counselling and psychotherapy, and to develop their skills and knowledge in this area.  The workshop is particularly oriented towards participants who are interested in an understanding their clients as agentic and purpose-oriented beings, and wary of more mechanistic or ‘outcome-oriented’ goal-based approaches. The workshop starts by introducing the concept of ‘directionality’—that human beings are always oriented towards future possibilities—and looks at how this can be applied to an understanding of self. The workshop then explores what has been learnt from the psychological research about the nature of goals and goal processes (for instance, distinguishing between 'approach' and 'avoidance' goals). It then goes on to a more practical exploration of working with goals, including skills practice and video demonstrations.

 

LEARNING OUTCOMES

By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:

• Define the concept of ‘directionality’ and be able to apply this to an understanding of their own psychological processes
• Discuss the theory and evidence that relates 'goal actualisation' and goals types to psychological wellbeing and distress
• Apply basic goal-oriented practices in counselling and psychotherapy, including goal discussion and goal setting
• Use the Goals Form in an appropriate manner
