Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT) for Trauma, Anxiety and Depression: A Brief Relational Approach to Healing and Personal Growth

$249.99 Standard

The nagging symptoms and feelings of isolation that accompany trauma, anxiety and depression can make your clients relationships even more overwhelming and complicated than usual.

Not knowing what to say or how to express their feelings to the people in their lives, their relationships start to overflow with high-conflict patterns, blaming, resentment, boundary violations, and trust issues. By the time you meet for their next session the tensions of these interactions have exacerbated their symptoms and eroded their support system.

That’s why you need Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT), a brief, evidence-based treatment that gives your clients the tools they need to rapidly improve their relationships and reduce their symptoms.

Heavily research supported, endorsed by major mental health organizations, and used by thousands of therapists around the globe, IPT is proven to achieve significant results and symptom reduction in just 12 to 16 weeks.

In short, it’s a must-have tool for any therapist looking to give clients fast, effective relief.

And when you register for this training, you’ll learn how to bring IPT into your practice with distinguished expert Dr. Lillian Gibson. She’s a highly sought-after trainer who’s showed countless therapists how to get the most out of IPT.

Dr. Gibson will show you how IPT’s easy to use structure gives you a roadmap to treatment success. PLUS she’ll show you how IPT’s flexibility allows you to apply it in one-to-one sessions or in group settings with almost any client, no matter their age or background.
