Discover the transformative power of Self-Contained Therapy in this one-hour presentation, “One Session to Rule Them All.”
A mischievously provocative title.
In a world increasingly driven by the need for instant gratification, I delve into the groundbreaking approach of single-session therapy, exploring its economic, social, and ethical implications.
Join me as we unveil the efficiency of this innovative therapy model that aligns perfectly with the fast-paced demands of modern life.
And explore whether this is a good thing.
Learn how it not only reduces waiting times and costs but also democratises mental health support, making it more accessible to those who need it most.
I will guide you through the ethical considerations of this potent therapeutic method, addressing concerns and highlighting the profound impact it can have on individuals and society. I’ll look at the evidence and real-world examples demonstrating the effectiveness of single-session therapy in creating lasting change.
Whether you’re a mental health professional, a policy-maker, or simply someone interested in the future of therapy, this presentation will offer valuable insights into, what could be, a more sustainable and ethical approach to mental health care.
As a practitioner with over 10,000 hours experience with Self-Contained therapy – my term – I’ve fumbled my way into this way of working and I’ll share my tips for moving from the classic therapy model to ‘Self-Contained Therapy’ including why I call it ‘Self-Contained Therapy’.
