Tuesdays with Mark, Psychotherapy Supervision.

Psychotherapy Supervision "Tuesdays with Mark"- Exercises in studying the patient and therapist. Sign up now for the next meeting January 18, 2022. Meetings are held every other week. 
Marksehl.com for more details. 

So in "Tuesdays with Mark"we learn what inhibits people from speaking freely, and how we can help them work through resistances. Or we might help them strengthen their resistance. One patient says she was told by her therapist that she was hiding and I said to her "Maybe you need to learn to hide more."
In my many years of experience I have found that it is the "difficult therapist" that gets into the way of treatment and not the so-called "difficult patient." This is helpful because therapists can then focus on themselves and what is creating stalemates in therapy rather than blaming the patient.
So I invite you come and talk about issues together. Part of the time will be discussing issues in treatment and learning helpful therapeutic interventions (some interventions tend to be very destructive), and the other part will be "free speak" where the task is to say everything as freely as possible and by doing so help our patients do the same.

We will learn about the most common mistakes that lead to premature termination in treatment; what to do and not to do in the first interviews to build a relationship; why following the contact function is the most important guideline in treatment; the best way to set a fees.
