Overview

Difficulty working with emotion is one of the most common clinical challenges across modalities. 

This practical, science-informed workshop offers an effective framework for working with client emotion across therapeutic approaches. While many therapies emphasize the importance of processing emotions, few explain what that actually looks like in practice or how to know whether emotional work is leading to meaningful therapeutic change. 

In this workshop, Dr. Antonio Pascual-Leone will introduce five pathways for helping clients process emotion in ways that support positive change. Grounded in decades of clinical research and drawn from his upcoming book Principles of Emotion Change, this framework helps therapists identify different types of emotional responses, recognize when clients are emotionally stuck, and apply targeted interventions based on the client’s emotional needs in the moment. 

This training is designed for therapists who already work with emotion and want to refine their approach to be more deliberate, nuanced, and effective. Through clinical demonstrations, real therapy videos, and brief experiential exercises, you will learn practical tools that can be integrated into your existing approach, whether you are a student, early-career clinician, or experienced psychotherapist. 

A recording of the workshop will be available to registrants for 60 days. 

Please note that it may take 10–12 business days for the recording to be sent.
