Webinar Description
Almost all psychotherapy clients experience various degrees of depression, anger, and anxiety. This webinar offers a new way of understanding the causes and cures of these negative emotional states. "Bump theory," illustrated by Dr. Heitler's "Hand Map," clarifies the sources of these feelings. It also suggests strategies therapists can use to help their clients exit from these states and emerge back into the realm of well-being. The webinar will go beyond teaching about the techniques to offer opportunities to practice them. The goal is for participants to feel comfortable using them immediately in their clinical work.
