Have you ever overreacted to a client in session? Do you find yourself overwhelmed or blocked in your work with that client in your caseload? Are you looking for tools for managing your most "difficult" clients? Chances are, you're like all other clinicians: at times you play "tug-of-war" with those in your care. Dropping the Rope is a guidebook for personal exploration and skill development for clinicians looking to fully expand their work with difficult populations, and with any client where the "charge" of moment-to-moment interaction in session is challenging to tolerate, let alone use as a tool for change. With well-organized chapters, thoughtfully designed exercises, self-assessments, and skill development activities, Dropping the Rope helps clinicians learn to understand their own role in therapeutic interactions, as well as how to best manage reactions and proactively respond to "difficult" client behavior in a way that improves the prospects for successful treatment. This workbook provides a valuable starting point for clinicians interested in the longer journey of professional development in the area of therapeutic relationship management. Few resources are available providing the same scope of self-training material in one engaging, accessible format. A sampling of topics covered includes: Conceptualizing the "difficult" client The brain basis of clinical interaction Moving beyond assumptions and reactive impulses in clinical work Managing unhelpful thinking during interactions with clients Increasing skills for expanding self and other-awareness Developing clinical "leadership" skills to manage difficult client behavior Learning to harness the in-the-moment process of therapeutic interactions Accessing empathy even when it is "hard"
