BT12 Clinical Demonstration 08 - Strategies in the Treatment of Obsessive Worries - Reid Wilson, PhD
Dr. Wilson will demonstrate how the strategic therapist rapidly develops rapport with clients, confronts erroneous beliefs, and then helps clients ratchet up their own courage and determination to overcome their inner resistance and follow a series of graduated steps toward ending their obsessions. He will then illustrate how to develop and assign homework.
BT12 Clinical Demonstration 06 - Transforming Negative Self-Talk: Devils into Angels - Steve Andreas, MA
Negative Self-talk is a trigger for a huge variety of problematic behaviors and responses, from anger to depression. A wide variety of extremely brief nonverbal and verbal interventions will be demonstrated for altering these messages in ways that redirect attention in more positive directions, and elicit more useful responses.

BT12 Clinical Demonstration 02 - Outcome Informed Treatment - Scott Miller, PhD
Participants will learn a simple method for measuring success rates that can be used to develop a profile of their most and least effective moments in therapy—what works and what doesn’t. Not only will attendees learn how to identify their clinical strengths and weaknesses and how to use the findings in to improve their own practice, but they will also come away with concrete tools that will immediately boost clinical abilities and effectiveness.
BT12 Clinical Demonstration 12 - Transforming Stuck States - Robert Dilts
States of stuckness, resistance or impasse constitute one of the ongoing challenges facing any therapist or coach. Rather than opposing or capitulating to such resistance, it is possible to help clients transform these states through a process involving increased awareness, flexibility and presence. Drawing upon examples of Milton Erickson’s own work, this demonstration will show a simple method to support clients to engage and resolve stuck states in order to achieve a state of greater alignment and integration.
