About this event

When Trust Is the Treatment explores the clinical impasses that arise when patients abruptly disengage, criticize the therapy, or struggle to remain in treatment. Drawing on Control-Mastery Theory, this workshop examines how ambivalence toward trust—common in patients with attachment wounds—is not resistance, but a meaningful enactment of deeply held beliefs shaped by earlier relationships. Participants will learn how the therapist’s consistent, empathic attitude becomes a central vehicle for disconfirming pathogenic beliefs and restoring the therapeutic process.
