Leading in Your Practice
$79.00
When a client leads the session, the healing process stalls. Learn what it truly means to lead in your practice, manage complex client dynamics, and hold a space where your clients can safely relax, trust, and gratefully follow.
Description
Your Clients Need You To Lead
When the client leads in your client practice, they’re in control of how much treatment, resolution, evolution occurs in their session. Clients lead when they’re anxious, have high control needs, or the practitioner fails to do so.
A client leading can look like:
- excessive talking during the intake – too much story, too many details, too much distraction from their main issues
- talking during the treatment process – if letting go and receiving is part of the session objective, talking diminishes their receptivity
- taking charge of the treatment strategy – beyond honest, forthright concerns, such as – I don’t like having my feet touched, they may be jumpy on the table, controlling about the order or amount of service received, or critical about the practitioner’s approach to the work
- modifying protocols and practices to suit their preferences (agency is excellent, and sometimes the client is simply taking control because it assuages their anxiety)
Leading is a Skill
Leadership in practice is not as simple as it may look. Practitioners assume they’ll be in charge because they’re paying the rent, delivering the service.
But that doesn’t take into account potential conflict, lack of policy, process and procedures, as well as the subtle indications that the client can rest and trust that all is well in hand.
Learn to Lead
In this 1.5 hour online workshop, we’ll sort through a variety of practice leadership dilemmas and provide you with actionable, effective approaches for ensuring that you lead, so your clients can gratefully follow!
