Helping Clients Break through Barriers by Exploring Complex Family Legacy

The parent-child relationship is so primal, intense, and complex that it can drive a person to their line of work, dictate how they lead, and, influence the types of relationships they form with managers and colleagues. This workshop will explore the deep connection between career development and family influence, explore legacies related to time, money, and personality dynamics, and provide invaluable resources for clinicians to use with clients. Therapists can help break barriers, instilling hope and confidence for success by using strengths-based tools to reinforce healthy/positive messages and challenge difficult family messages and experiences. Resources will include easy to use worksheets, assessments, and strategies that have proven successful with diverse populations, including depressed and anxious clients.
