Description:
Being “Someone Good To Talk To” is something many of us aspire to be--in life and practice. While skill practice with feedback is helpful, it is also important to understand why certain practices are helpful and what makes them beneficial.  This continuing education topic deepens understanding and develops skillfulness by using the Inside-Out method (Rosengren et al., 2024), based on the Personal Practice Model (Bennett-Levy & Haarhoff, 2019).  We will also use Helen Mentha’s 2021 book, Someone Good to Talk To, as an organizing focus. This session employs discussion, brief didactics, demonstration, debriefing, skill practice, and extended self-practice and self-reflection to build deeper understanding of how practitioner behaviors impact us personally and then apply this to our treatment and prevention work. This half-day session will focus on interpersonal and communication skills, which research has demonstrated make a difference in client outcomes.    
 
Goals: 
Participants will recognize that by focusing on a few core communication concepts real-plays they can improve the use of their skills in their work with clients.  They will engage in a deliberate self-reflective process to extend these skills to their practice situations.      
 
Learning Objectives: 
  • Be able to identify two core ideas within an essential communication area 
  • Practice two essential skills (affirmations and summaries) 
  • Have an experience in the use of that skill in a real-play  
  • Experience these skills from the Inside Out 
  • Describe a plan for extending this skill into their practice situation.
