MINI-LESSONS  FOR  CLINICIANS 

"A monthly series for learning and practicing clinical intervention strategies

Trainer:            Dr. James Strohl, licensed psychologist, certified Focusing Trainer

Date/Times:      6:00-8:30PM, Tues. Evenings (first Tuesday of every month)

Place:               Center for Psychological Development, 1250 Greenwood Dr. , Bethlehem , PA

Fee:                  $20.00 per session

This is an ongoing program (first Tuesday of every month) consisting of 2 ½  hour mini-lessons on specific clinical intervention strategies.  It is an open group, so everyone is invited!  While no  registration fee is collected in advance, interested participants must indicate their intention to attend at least one week in advance by calling 610-868-1577 or emailing Jim@cpd3.com.   Sessions will be cancelled if less than five people register. 

 A different topic will be covered in each session.  The topics for each session will be published several months in advance and can be obtained on the internet at www.cpd3.com or by calling 610-868-1577.    

These mini-sessions are designed for those in the helping professions who want to expand their repertoire of clinical helping skills or refine the skills they already possess.  Suggestions for future topics will be developed based on the specific interests of the participants.     

The session format will be informal and interactive, so bring along all your questions.  The typical format of each session will include a brief presentation and, when appropriate, a demonstration and skill practice in dyads/triads.  An emphasis will be place on experiencing the interventions first-hand with ample time for discussion.  

Scheduled dates & topics:  (first Tuesday of every month)

     1.  Tues., July 1:  "Energy Psychology: EFT Techniques for Symptoms Relief" - Emotional Freedom

          Technique (EFT) is a mind-body therapy that often resolves emotional and physical symptoms within

          minutes.  EFT integrates the sciences of acupuncture, meridian systems, bilateral brain stimulation, and 

          psychology.  EFT treatment is relaxing, easy-to-learn, and has no side effects.  This lesson provides

          sufficient training for participants to immediately incorporate EFT into their clinical work with clients.

     2.  Tues., Aug. 5:  "Engaging Unmotivated & Uncooperative Clients" - we are always "in relationship"

          with every client, including highly unmotivated, mandated clients.  Learn to use this relationship to engage 

          those clients who seem to resist all efforts to help them.  We'll view and discuss a video tape showing the

          gradual development of a collaborative working relationship with an uncooperative, mandated client.  We will 

          discuss how our attempts at "helping" can sometimes elicit the opposite of what we'd like to accomplish.

Sample of possible topics for future consideration:  Guiding clients to deeper experiential levels, The radical acceptance of everything, Cognitive restructuring/reframing, Focusing-oriented interventions, Incorporating transpersonal/spiritual elements of healing, Communication model for relationship counseling, Mindfulness techniques, Solution-focused interviewing/counseling, etc.                                

TrainerDr. Jim Strohl developed this mini-series at the request of therapists who desired additional training and practice with specific intervention strategies.  Dr. Strohl has 18 years of experience teaching Counseling and Clinical  Psychology at the graduate-level, and over 22 years  training and consulting with clinical professionals in various healthcare settings.  

Fee payment:  A $20.00 attendance fee is collected at each session.  No advanced registration is required.

Continuing Ed. Credits: CE credits (2.5 credits) from the American Psychological Association are provided for an additional fee of five dollars ($5) per session.

Information: Call 610-868-1577.  Directions to CPD can be found under “Contact” at www.cpd3.com.


 

 

           APPLYING  THE  LAW  OF  ATTRACTION

                “You’ve seen The Secret, now learn how to apply it!”

The movie "The Secret" and the Abraham-Hicks lectures and publications have done an incredible job exposing us to the laws of deliberate creation.  However, it is not enough to know the theories; we must also be able to apply them effectively.   Refining and practicing the necessary skills makes a world of difference in the results we get!  Also, it is much more fun, more rewarding, and easier to follow through on our intentions when we feel the support of friendly, like-minded individuals. 

Few know that the "Laws of Attraction & Deliberate Creation" are based on the scientific principles of Quantum Physics and are closely aligned with the principles and methods of Solution-oriented Therapy, which is currently one of the most widely used psychotherapy models in the USA. 

Drawing on this knowledge, Dr. Strohl translates the abstract, complex principles of the Laws of Attraction, Deliberate Creation, and Allowing into simple, practical concepts that are easy to understand and use in everyday life.  Join us and "learn to live the life you've always imagined!"

This is an ongoing, open group, and everyone is invited.  No advanced registration, just show up!

Feel free to contact me for information regarding this and other groups/presentations that are available.  I offer  large and small group activities, as well as individual coaching in the Law of Attraction, psycho-spiritual growth, states of consciousness, positive psychology, mindfulness, Focusing, and reality creation.    

Dates:     Every other Monday (call or email for specific dates)

Time:      6:30-8PM

Fee:        $15 per session

Where:   Center for Psychological Development, 1250 Greenwood Drive , Bethlehem , PA 18017

Leader:   Dr. Jim Strohl

Together we will learn:

1.  how energy vibrations (thoughts, moods and feelings) influence reality.

3.  to change words that attract negativity.

4.  strategies for knowing and getting what you want (resetting your vibrations).

5.  a three-step process for deliberate creating.

7.  ways to remove doubt.

8.  to create abundance in relationships, money, and more...
