As a clinician or healer do you struggle with know when to recommend an increase in frequency or a higher level of care?
Are you avoiding those difficult conversations and trying to “keep” clients and then feeling stuck in their care?
Do you lean into the tools that already exist to support you in this process?
If you haven’t had training or effective supervision to learn how to develop these strategies, these conversations with clients might feel scary or daunting. As the clinician you might be experiencing all the emotions that the client should have because you’re unsure on how to deliver the clinical prescription. In this training by Sam Schweitzer at The Healing Collective, you will not only receive those strategies, you’ll also explore your own resistance to your own barriers that may be getting in the way. Subsequently, creating more ease once you have to tools, to provide this recommendation in the future to clients.

Personally, are you WILLING to look at what’s coming up for you when you are in a situation of recommending higher level of care?
Clinically gain the strategies and responses that are effective in supporting clients in stepping into the care they need.
Defenses, Abandonment reactions, Manipulation are all responses we can expect from a client needing higher level of care.
Strategies become our tools to support the process but also our own regulation while we support the client in receiving the recommendation.
