Building Rapport With Teens
I've had sessions with teenagers in which I have laughed so hard, I nearly cried, and have also had sessions in which I questioned some of my more important life decisions. This is the joy and agony of working with teens as a therapist. I have worked with teens since I was a trainee in a local high school and most recently was the Clinical Director of an Adolescent Treatment Center, so I have clocked a few hours with this population. I have supervised enough therapists and guided them through their first sessions with teens to know that this information is solid and helpful (check the reviews below, they made me blush)
How To Get Teens To Talk In Therapy
The approach to building rapport with teens in this course is an alternative way to work with teens, taking the heat off the 'Identified Patient' and focusing your attention on their inner world, and who they are as a young person. This is what teens are craving - real connection with an adult.
I've some of my ten years of insight and learning into this mini-course to give you the essentials of working with a teen and rapport building in the first few sessions. The questions in the PDF I attach are enough to literally get you through two or three sessions!
