- Short Description:
- This workshop spotlights directive therapy—an action-driven approach where therapists take an active role in guiding change. Instead of passively listening, practitioners assign tasks, offer strategic advice, and use creative interventions like ordeals to spark progress. With real-life cases ranging from relationship struggles to bulimia and sexual masochism, the session shows how targeted directives lead to quick, meaningful results. Topics include shifting dynamics in couples therapy, motivating resistant clients, and making brief therapy both effective and impactful—all while maintaining clear boundaries and professional focus.
