This focused CRM® training addresses one of the most overlooked and essential aspects of effective treatment: working directly with the blocks and obstacles to therapy and healing itself. Rather than viewing resistance or “stuckness” as problems to bypass, CRM® treats blocks as primary clinical material and often the necessary, central work of therapy.
Blocks and obstacles are fear-based. They may appear overtly through dissociation, medical flare ups or massive destabilization or covertly through shifts in engagement, boundaries, pacing or even interactions with practice policies and structure.
Participants will learn how to recognize nuanced indicators of blocks through client behaviors, activation patterns, and relational dynamics, and how to work them directly and skillfully using CRM®. This training is ideal for clinicians working with complex trauma, dissociation, chronic treatment impasses, or clients who appear “resistant.”
Prerequisites: Level 1 The Foundations of CRM® Training (formerly titled CRM® Basic Training).
