Avoiding Burnout:
So often, the road to success with perplexing and bewildering clients rests on the therapist managing to stay focused and calm regardless of the challenges. And yet, occasionally we encounter clients who not only baffle us, but confuse, disorient and even frustrate us at every turn.
Luckily, the TIST model can help us ‘de-code’ baffling symptoms and orient the treatment even in the most confusing or conflictual moments. Having a solid understanding of this innovative treatment model will keep you on track—even when the client has difficulty staying organized and present.
