Finding a focus can be one of the most important and challenging parts of a session.

Not finding a focus can lead to dissatisfying and less productive sessions, leaving both the client and therapist wondering what happened.

In consultation groups, this process is a common struggle that impedes the work.

In this session, we will explore: 

• how to make finding a focus a collaborative process

• connecting with what is most important to your client

• working with a client's complaints to create a clear focus for the session

• exposing "process" dynamics that emerge while helping clients connect with the value of working with these processes

• how to create a dual focus of “content” and “process,” including a collaborative agreement to work on dissociative dynamics

• identifying "non-presenting problems" that merit focus, and while engaging clients in this process

• being sure your client is making solid agreements

• working with "caution" and ambivalence that can arise on the way to finding a focus
