Values-Driven Exposure: Guiding Clients Toward Purposeful Action

This dynamic, skills-focused workshop provides mental health professionals and coaches with practical, experiential techniques to move beyond intellectual discussions of client values and bring them to life in session.

Do your clients often articulate their values but struggle to translate them into concrete actions or navigate real-life conflicts? This session is designed to transform abstract value statements (like "I value honesty" or "I value connection") into tangible, behavioral anchors that guide decision-making and fuel commitment.

We'll move beyond simple values identification checklists to explore creative, evidence-based methods for connecting clients to the felt sense and observable actions of their core values. This is essential for fostering psychological flexibility and deepening client engagement with exposure and behavioral change work.

What You Will Learn:

Experiential Techniques: Learn and practice hands-on activities to help clients define their values not as words, but as living directives (e.g., using physical metaphors, creative prompts, and visual mapping).

Concrete Behavior Translation: Master a framework for translating abstract values into specific, observable, and measurable "Values-Consistent Behaviors" (VCBs) that can be monitored and celebrated.

Navigating Values Conflicts: Develop strategies to help clients identify and work through internal and external conflicts (e.g., approach-avoidance dilemmas) where multiple values seem to be pulling them in different directions.

Deepening Commitment: Explore how to effectively link values work to other therapeutic models, particularly Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) to strengthen client motivation and resilience in the face of emotional discomfort

Who should attend?

This workshop is ideal for therapists, counselors, psychologists, social workers, and coaches at any stage of their career who wish to enhance their skill set in applying values-based interventions with greater depth and impact.

Bring your willingness to be active! This is an interactive session with opportunities for role-play and personal application of the tools.
