What to Do When You Feel Pressured to Move Faster Than the Work Should Go

Pitfalls in Pacing Trauma Therapy

oversharing clientoversharing client

Your client comes in ready to tell you everything.

The whole story, all at once, beginning in the very first session.

And your instinct, the one that says honor the client’s lead, follow their pace, can pull you right along with them. But here’s the problem . . .

. . . when a client with a long history of interpersonal trauma rushes into the work, sharing too much too soon rarely leads to relief.

In fact, it can lead to overwhelm, destabilization, and dropout.

So, we’ve invited Robert T. Muller, PhD, author of the psychotherapy bestseller, Trauma & the Struggle to Open Up, to present an all-new live workshop:

— New Short Course —

Pacing Trauma Therapy with the Client Who Overshares

In this workshop, you’ll get strategies you can use to help slow the process down without shutting your client out.

Here’s what you can expect:

  • The attachment pattern most commonly behind the client who overshares
  • What happens relationally when a client discloses too much before the therapeutic relationship is ready for it
  • Why the impulse to “honor the client’s lead” can sometimes work against their healing (and what to do instead)
  • Questions to ask early in treatment that can change the entire trajectory of how a client opens up
  • A phase-based framework for pacing trauma disclosure, and how to explain it to clients who are impatient to begin
  • Why the client who “wants to go fast” often needs the opposite (and how to help them understand that without shutting them down)
  • The moment in a session when containment matters more than exploration (and how to recognize it in real time)
  • How to slow the pace without fracturing the alliance

You’ll see real case examples, including segments from Robert’s own sessions, and come away with specific techniques you can apply in your next session.

The live workshop will take place on Tuesday, June 16th from 12-1:30pm ET.

You’ll have the opportunity to ask Robert your questions during the Q&A portions of the workshop.

In addition, your registration includes the video recording and transcript of the presentation (and both are yours to keep forever).

  • The transcript makes it easy to go back and double check concepts, citations and names that are mentioned
  • We put in a table of contents to make it easy for you to find the exact part of the webinar you need
  • Having the concepts already written allows you to take notes on how you’re going to use the ideas rather than transcribing the ideas
  • Some people simply learn better by reading than by listening or watching
  • You will be able to print out and share techniques presented in the session with your patients

“I really liked being able to follow along with the transcripts as I listened…it was nice not to feel like I had to take notes. I really feel like I remember more when I both hear and see at the same time.”
