Description

Boundary management issues, transference and countertransference dynamics, intense emotions, and drama.

Clients with personality disorders can push you to confront your own limitations and triggers…even make you question your own abilities as a therapist.

But it doesn’t have to be this way.

This 2-day training is specifically designed to provide you with the skills, techniques, and insights you need to tackle cases with clients who have BPD, narcissistic personality disorder, avoidant personality, and more.

You’ll join expert therapist Katelyn Baxter-Musser. She’s trained thousands of therapists on a variety of clinical topics – and she’s helped clients with personality disorders achieve positive treatment outcomes for over a decade.

And now she’ll share all she’s learned to provide you a framework so you can confidently and effectively treat these clients… whether you’re already working with them or tackling your very first case.

Katelyn will make treating clients with any of the 10 personality disorders feel more doable than you ever thought possible, complete with hands-on exercises and real case studies, highlighting the most effective and evidence-based clinical tools in the field.

When you register, you’ll get:

  • Tools from CBT, DBT, Schema Therapy, and other top treatments
  • Details on working with trust, attachment issues, and fear of abandonment
  • Boundary management strategies
  • Practical skills to improve regulation and expression of intense emotions
  • Real-life case studies that make what you’ve learned more accessible
  • Safety plans for self-harming, suicidality, and substance use
  • And much more!

Don’t miss this chance to confidently work with personality-disordered clients.
