Trainings and workshops on Psychotherapy

For anyone interested in knowing a bit about human behaviour, anxiety ,thoughts and emotions. This is a practical training serious and fun at the same time. It is to help you understand these concepts in an experiential way through mock interactions and respectful feedback from each other to help you see things about yourself and use your strengths to help you overcome any patterns you were unconsciously stuck with and could not see  nor do anything about them. This is to facilitate change in the participants so that they discover a new way of relating. The first part of the day is spent in teaching you about anxiety symptoms and helping you learn to regulate it for yourself and for your loved ones

This is a two day practical training for students and practitioners of psychology and psychiatry who have no prior exposure to ISTDP. It will be helpful for anyone coming from any school of psychological theories or medical background because the focus over these two days is to build a good therapeutic relationship,and avoid patient dropout and therapist/doctor burnout

It is a two day practical training with loads of new skills to learn with the aim of strenghthening your practical knowledge and allowing you to ofer your patient a safe space by teaching you how to regulate your patient’s anxiety as well as your own. Unlike any other usual approaches to anxiety we will help you to begin observing the patient for non verbal cues which suggest anxiety symptoms in the session to make them feel safe.

The key ingredients for any therapy to succeed are a clear task, a willing patient,a clear goal and an agreement over what we understand is causing the problems in the first place.The second day is to help you start noticing avoidance strategies used unconsciously by the patients ,which come in the way of forming a collaborative relationship,which can derail therapy and make it feels stuck often leading to burnout and overworking or patient drop outs.

This is a three day practical training exclusively for students of  psychiatry and Psychiatrists who have  prior exposure and knowledge of ISTDP or have a keen interest in it and want to use additional skills in a subset of complex presentations in your psychiatry practice.

Day 1

Over three days you will learn about ISTDP, its scope and other information related to its practice.Day 1 will begin with practical training with loads of new skills to learn with the aim of strenghthening your practical knowledge and allowing you to ofer your patient a safe space by teaching you how to regulate your patient’s anxiety as well as your own. Unlike any other usual approaches to anxiety we will help you to begin observing the patient for non verbal cues which suggest anxiety symptoms in the session to make them feel safe.

Day 2

The key ingredients for any therapy to succeed are a clear task, a willing patient,a clear goal and an agreement over what we understand is causing the problems in the first place.The second day is to help you start noticing avoidance strategies used unconsciously by the patients ,which come in the way of forming a collaborative relationship,which can derail therapy and make it feels stuck often leading to burnout and overworking or patient drop outs. Throughout  the process of therapy anxiety is monitored to help the patient feel safe and not anxious.

Day 3

For a patient to be motivated he must be willing for therapy himself. We will teach you specific ways to get a clear will on the table before any kind of further work. Without a willing patient ,therapy will be a forced one often leading to more resentment and anxiety in the patient and lead to drop outs

We will finally revise our three days of learning followed by simple cases for each student to decipher and make a psychodiagnosis so that they can start using ISTDP in a certain population in their practice.
