WORKSHOP: When you dread your next session: Applying DBT principles to therapy

Friday, June 9, 2023 – 9 am to 4:30 pm

Venue: Dalhousie University, Halifax: Room 265, the Collaborative Health Education Building (CHEB), 5793 University Ave.

Presented by: Dr. Jacquie Cohen and Dr. Marie-Eve Couture.

We all work with clients who test our capacity to connect with them, feel compassionate, and act competently. Clients may present as relentlessly hopeless, passive, and incapable. They may direct their anger toward us or accuse us of being ineffective. Or they may be especially high-risk, causing us to worry that they will harm themselves or someone else, and that we will face professional or legal consequences.
