Therapists are often taught how to regulate others, but not how to notice their own urgency when sessions feel tense, uncertain, or high-stakes. This introductory workshop focuses on fixing, rescuing, over-explaining, and the subtle ways therapist anxiety can interfere with treatment progress.
You’ll learn to:
recognize signs of therapist activation
identify default responses under stress
reduce rescuing and over-functioning
stay present without rushing to solve
use motivational interviewing spirit to support autonomy
