Through detailed case examples, including a live demonstration, he illustrates techniques such as positive reframing, the Magic Dial, the Double Standard, and the Feared Fantasy to produce rapid, measurable change.

- Short Description:
- A core premise of Generative Change work is that “everything contains the potential of its opposite/complement.” The more we increase one side of a complement the more we increase the potential of its opposite/complement. When we seek to bring more of something into the world (light), we simultaneously invite its opposite (shadow). In fact, we often want to bring more of something (light) because we know its opposite (darkness). Having only one side of a complement creates imbalance. This is frequently the case in psychotherapy, where the complement to a client’s desired change shows up as a form of resistance. This workshop will show that when client’s can be supported to hold both sides of a seeming conflict or struggle from a generative state, surprising new possibilities emerge.

- Short Description:
- Burns demonstrates how TEAM-CBT can produce rapid, drug-free recovery from depression by targeting resistance before techniques. Through a complete two-hour live session, he illustrates testing, rigorous empathy, positive reframing, the Magic Dial, the Double Standard Technique, and the Feared Fantasy method in action. The result is a transparent look at how shame, anxiety, and hopelessness can shift dramatically when patients confront the thoughts that maintain their suffering and practice relapse prevention to make gains last.

- Short Description:
- When therapy goes well, it is not because the therapist has the answer. In this candid conference presentation, a depth-oriented clinician demonstrates how change emerges when clients are supported in sustained self-exploration. Through live work and clinical reflection, he illustrates how attention to presence, resistance, nonverbal cues, and the subtle dance of transference and countertransference can deepen awareness and free clients to use capacities that were there all along.

- Short Description:
- When clients don’t follow through, drop out, or seem “stuck,” what is really happening? In this panel, leading clinicians debate resistance, noncompliance, and therapeutic alliance from existential, reality therapy, Gestalt, and cognitive-behavioral perspectives. Moving from depth psychology to social influence research, the discussion challenges therapists to rethink blame, clarify goals, and examine how collaboration, skill, and relationship shape change in the therapy room. Moderated by Ruth McClendon, MSW.

- Short Description:
- Explore the therapeutic power of asking clients to act “as if” things were already different. Drawing from Hans Vaihinger’s classic The Philosophy of As If, Watzlawick demonstrates how small, paradoxical interventions can help clients shift rigid patterns and construct more adaptive realities. Through case examples—including chronic pain, phobias, and anxiety—he illustrates how subtle behavior prescriptions and indirect language can bypass resistance and spark lasting change.

The discussion ranges from biological compulsions and short-term hedonism to unconscious defenses, transference, and the meaning of character structure. Through lively debate and clinical examples, the panel reveals how each model understands resistance, not simply as opposition, but as a complex expression of human nature and the heart of therapeutic change.

Emphasizing presence, resistance, and moment-to-moment awareness, the session challenges clinicians to shift from solving problems to helping clients recognize and move beyond the “spacesuits” that limit their vitality.

- Short Description:
- This workshop explores how therapists can help clients move toward change by “blending” with the client’s energy and pace rather than confronting resistance directly. Through stories, demonstrations, and experiential exercises, the session illustrates how therapists can narrow options, use perception and reality strategically, and employ naturalistic trance to bypass resistance and access clients’ internal resources. The presentation emphasizes practical ways to guide clients toward meaningful change while respecting their motivations and experiential learning.

- Short Description:
- Consultation can be a valuable process in the provision of therapeutic services to clients. Traditional case presentation scenarios can lead to limited, reactive dialogues that solidify the therapist’s sense of “stuckness.” The reflecting team approach to consultation uses reflexive questioning to allow non-reactive associations free from the constraints of conversation thinking to access all of the participants’ inner resources. This workshop will explore the elements of meaningful consultation with discussion, video, and live demonstration.

The intention of the workshop is to support the expansion of trust within professionals to contain resistance and creatively focus attention, facilitating novelty, rapport, and opportunities for learning. The Erickson Resistance Protocol and Poincare's four stage creative process will be utilized to provide a template to develop internal yes sets for quantum principles, processes and variables. Emphasis will be placed on how the grandiosity and victim subsets of resistance, and the appreciation of intent and accountability are related to the quantum variables of momentum, motion, time, space and position.
