I know many in our community have been unable to join us for the first Therapist Leadership Conference, so I want to give you a taste of some of the nuggets the presenters have shared. Take a moment, a deep breath, and savor these…
“Tell me how you were loved and I will tell you how you make love.” Esther Perel, author of Mating in Captivity
“Medication as an answer to depression is more marketing that science.” Michael Yapko, Breaking the Patterns of Depression
“If you want to do just one thing to get traffic to your website, consider simple search engine optimization techniques such as linking to and getting linked from other sites.” Peter Hannah, Your Google Guy
“Clinical suggestion for better therapeutic outcomes: End sessions with compliments or on a positive note.” Bill O’Hanlon, author of 29+ books
“Couples fighting means dueling amygdalas.” Ellyn Bader, author of In Quest of the Mythical Mate
“When I work with ambivalent couples, I don’t start with Martial Therapy. I start with Decision Making Therapy.” Bill Doherty, author of nine books and founder of marriagefriendlytherapists.com
“Only when we begin to fully inhabit our own moments can we be of real use to those who seek our help.” Jerome Front, Professor, author and Mindfulness retreat leader.
“Understanding a client’s attachment patterns help clinicians better anticipate clinical challenges – before they occur.” Andrew M. Leeds, EMDR and Trauma expert
“Read – don’t ignore subpoenas. Ignorance is not bliss.” Cathy Atkins, counsel, CAMFT
“Mindfulness of the senses is a distraction that can help ease a stuck mind.” Lori Schwanbeck, founder of Mindfulness Therapy Associates in San Francisco.
“I predict 50,000 Baby Boomers will live to 150.” Mike Brickey, author of Defy Aging
“Not talking about a client’s financial concerns with them is ignoring the elephant in the room.” Ofer Zur, director of Zur Institute.
And that is just a sample.
Next week I will share more. I am blown away by the quality of the content and the richness of the attendee participation.
Finally, I want to thank all of the attendees for your wonderful comments about how much you are enjoying the event. One of my favorites:
“Here we are sitting in our own places all over the world yet joining on the phone for this conference. What I thought would be a rather solitary activity has become a very intimate experience.”
