Experiential Therapy Techniques: A Neurobiological Approach to Self-Compassion Therapy
Your job as a therapist isn't to get your clients to become self-compassionate. Your job is to show them they deserve compassion. You can do that by helping them discover their own value through experiential work.
We all know that self-compassion is important in healing and in creating healthy relationships with self and others. But for many, that knowing is intellectual, not embodied.
When our clients struggle with self-compassion, we need them to go beyond the concept and feel it within. One way we can do that is by helping them discover their worthiness, strength, and lovability experientially.
In this webinar you will learn how self compassion is both a skill and a self-love that is discoverable, understand the neurobiological differences between self-compassion and empathy, and witness a clinical example of how to harness experiential work to help your clients increase self-compassion.
You'll learn:
- A practice to increase self-compassion towards yourself as you do your work so you can both embody and benefit from self-acceptance.
- The neurobiological difference between empathy and compassion so you keep use them judiciously in practice.
- How to set up experiential practices so clients can discover and experience self-compassion.
Jules will share her vast experience as a trauma therapist, consultant, and researcher and show you how she works with self-compassion experientially.
Add an experiential element to your self-compassion work and see the difference for yourself and your clients.
Did You Know?
Experiential therapy is a therapeutic approach that encourages clients to identify and address hidden or subconscious issues through activities, actions, and direct engagement. It emphasizes the role of experience in the therapeutic process, allowing clients to re-experience and express emotions associated with past conflicts.
This approach is distinct from traditional talk therapies because it involves active participation in therapeutic activities like role-playing, guided imagery, art, the use of props, and various forms of creative expression. Clients are able to re-experience and express feelings related to past traumas and conflicts in a safe environment, promoting healing and self-awareness.
Techniques used in experiential therapy can include adventure/nature therapy, psychodrama, expressive arts therapy, animal-assisted therapy, and body-centered therapy.
