Description

Do your customers find it difficult to convey their emotions? Are you weary of asking the same questions and receiving the same limited responses? Ordinary words are not always sufficient. Imagine having the ability to tell a fresh tale to your client in order to stimulate their healing imagination and to use metaphor, story, and symbol to help your client progress.

This recording contains cutting-edge techniques and interventions based on tales, writing, journaling, and other expressive therapies, often known as Bibliotherapy. These evidence-based techniques will enable you to treat your clients with anxiety, trauma, addiction, and depression in a creative and effective manner, as well as to overcome resistance to therapy, overcome your most difficult client’s inability to express themselves, and make therapeutic progress where traditional techniques may fail.

Return to your practice with published writings, skill-building activities, interactive exercises, important components of storytelling, extensive handouts, and guidance on how to use Bibliotherapy in treatment to inspire your clients to greater transformation and healing!

Change your challenging client into someone with whom you can make significant therapeutic progress.
Guide your client via the use of easy writing tasks that they can do quickly and organically.
Reinforce the principles presented, your ability to put what you’ve learned into practice, and your ability to incorporate it into your clinical job right away.
Assist clients in structuring and framing their personal experiences.

You should feel secure and capable of using the power of symbol and narrative (Bibliotherapy) into your treatment and providing a safe space for your client’s grief, anxiety, and rage after listening to the tape. To fully benefit from this recording, no prior knowledge or writing experience is necessary.

Sherry Reiter, PhD, LCSW, PTR-M/S, RDT-BCT is an international speaker and the author of Writing Away the Demons: Stories of Creative Coping Through Transformative Writing (North Star Press, 2009). Dr. Reiter, as head of The Creative Righting Center, mentors and assists professionals both locally and internationally. Poets-Behind-Bars is her creation. Dr. Reiter has received three national awards for her pioneering work in bibliotherapy and was named Touro College’s Teacher of the Year in 2009.

For over 35 years, she has taught Poetry Therapy for the Helping Professional at The New School for Social Research and Hofstra University. Dr. Reiter was a driving influence behind the formation of The National Association for Poetry Therapy and The International Federation for Biblio/Poetry Therapy, as well as a member of The National Association of Drama Therapy’s steering council.

Dr. Reiter led her first writing group for the elderly when she was 17 years old. Emma, who was 88 at the time, started crying as she delivered her writing: “All night long/the rain lashed at my window/and I was scared.” People responded to word play, literature, and narrative with tears, laughter, and fresh hope everywhere Sherry worked – in closed mental hospitals, rehabilitation centers, group homes, leisure centers, and schools – from the young to the old.

Sherry discovered poetry therapy, a little-known specialty, in the 1970s. She spent the next four decades studying, teaching, and educating professionals to use transformational language in their work.
