Learn to apply Dr. David Burns' TEAM-CBT paradoxical techniques to overcome patient resistance and optimize motivation. Through patient video clips, live demonstrations, and case examples of Disorders of Gut-Brain Interaction (formerly known as Functional GI Disorders), headaches, nocturnal enuresis, tics and Tourette syndrome, and other somatic complaints, discover how siding with resistance paradoxically accelerates healing. One live demonstration will allow attendees to learn a quick but powerful tool to control anxiety. The other will allow the learner to be in the role of the patient addressing their resistance.
Learning Objectives:
Recognize outcome and process resistance in patients and understand how resistance paradoxically serves protective functions.
Apply paradoxical agenda-setting techniques including cost-benefit analysis to help patients articulate their own motivations for change.
Demonstrate advanced empathy skills that create therapeutic rapport and accelerate patient recovery.
Help patients identify and consciously address their unconscious resistance to change.
By having seen video examples, the learner will be able to understand and apply new knowledge in virtually every future patient encounter.
