About the course Professionals starting their own practice very often encounter difficulties associated with the initial stage of therapy. Typically, this difficulty is associated with anxiety about the unknown in anticipation of waiting for the first meeting with a prospective client. This tension is a completely natural condition for any specialist. However, the difference is that the experienced therapist has absolutely no idea what the beginning therapy will be like and is more curious than anxious. And the beginning therapist is more anxious, which interferes with successful work. In this course, you will gain practical knowledge and tools in the early stages of therapy. • Tips for a novice therapist: how to create, organize, START your practice. What difficulties (technical and psychological) a novice therapist can expect; what typical mistakes he can make; what guidelines can he be guided by.• Tips for any practicing therapist: what characterizes the BEGINNING of any therapy, regardless of the modality being practiced. What important provisions should be laid in the base of any therapeutic process so that it can become effective; what are the typical mistakes even an experienced therapist can make. The course is designed for three days of intensive work (24 hours).
