Show Me The Money: A clinical workshop for therapists

Saturday, June 26, 9:30 - 12:30 pm $120

Optional lunch & discussion 12:30-2:30 ($150)

Even the most seasoned therapists often miss opportunities to give the issue of

money in therapy the attention it deserves. Money is not a simple business

transaction between therapist and patient, but a complex interplay of power,

desire, connection, and separateness for both parties. It is also the one

distinct area where the therapist's need is acknowledged and expressed.

Many therapists feel uncomfortable addressing fees, payment, and increases fully

because it goes counter to their identity as helpers or caregivers. Creative

arts therapists especially struggle with this because our work is often

marginalized instead of seen as of added value. Yet many clients who seek our

help struggle with poor finances, bad financial decision-making, and other

unhealthy relationships with money. What better way to model prosperity than to

nurture it in your own practice?

In this fascinating and truly transformative workshop, therapists will be given

the clinical framework to understand and integrate the role money plays in the

therapeutic exchange. They will find that not only do they have permission to

ask for it, but that doing so sets the stage for healthy growth for their

clients as well. Indeed, if we cannot fully own our worth and power as

therapists, how can we help our clients own theirs?

Using a combination of art-making, case presentations

and discussion participants will learn:

* how financially empowering ourselves helps our clients

* the clinical and symbolic meaning of money in the therapeutic exchange

* how to indentify personal beliefs and messages about money and how

* they impact the transference/ counter-transference

* how to use concrete issues around payment, non-payment, fee increases,and fee

policies to further our patients' treatment and therapeutic goals

Facilitated by Kachina Myers, LCSW, ACSW and Nadia Jenefsky,MPS, LCAT
