Using Experiential Therapy with Telehealth
Enroll in the Online Self-Study
1.5 CE Credits available for behavioral health clinicians
Experiential therapy is an overarching term or umbrella of action-oriented therapies that draw from psychodrama, EFT, and SE to name a few. These modalities assist clients in moving out of their intellectual frame of reference to a more felt-sense of reference. The intention is to help clients move from their head and into their feelings. This is profoundly helpful in a clients therapeutic process when healing from trauma and grief. It's also beneficial when helping clients learn the art of effective communication.
This training experience is designed to provide an introduction to experiential therapy. We will share education, practice and knowledge for facilitating on-line experiential therapy with individuals, couples, families and groups. We will also focus on case conceptualization with a systemic perspective, how an event impacts 1 person in the system, it impacts everyone in the system.
