Reaching "Unreachable" Teens & Tweens

---

Knowing the importance of the therapeutic relationship with an oppositional adolescent is one thing; knowing how to build that relationship with someone who wants nothing to do with you is another entirely.  

This 90-minute seminar weaves together the art of relationship building with the science of connection in a relatable, practical way.  This compelling seminar will fundamentally change your approach with this challenging (and rewarding) population. You’ll learn: 

• Must-have strategies for building trust, repairing inevitable ruptures, and de-escalating crises  
• 15+ “side-door” principles for working with withdrawn and challenging young clients 
• Why behavior charts, worksheets, and natural consequences aren’t going to (and never did) create lasting change 
• Trauma and neurobiology’s impact on meaningful connection
