First Sessions and Goal Setting
2 hours active CPD
Early drop out from therapy is the achilles heel of psychotherapy, and typically half of those drop outs will occur after the first session. With this in mind, perhaps we should be having a look at what we are doing (and more importantly what we are doing wrong) in these first sessions and reconsider our approach.
Our training has very much focussed on a “clinical intake model” which aims to quickly gather data in order to categorise a person into a familiar diagnosis, formulation template or treatment type. But is this really what clients want?
