Summary:
How to understand the story of chronic illness, be an ally to clients and orient towards a successful therapeutic alliance, with a brief overview of popular mental health treatment options.
Learning Objectives:
- Provide therapists with an understanding of the compounding experiences of chronic illness and how this creates what I call a "360 degree attachment wound"
- Help therapists to become an ally and advocate for their clients and create a positive, corrective experience of the medical care system
- Provide therapists with an overview of some options for treatment approaches to consider when working with these clients
About Lorenne:
