24 Aug Gaslighting: Helping your Client Survive Hidden Manipulation
As practitioners, it is our obligation to our clients to help them spot manipulation and to teach them the techniques that will protect them from being mistreated and traumatised by this very common dynamic. Join Professor Tanya Robinson in her fascinating new course on the gaslight effect, in which she explains the complexities of this hidden but yet so common manipulation strategy people use in order to control others.
Learn how to spot early warning signs, different types of gaslighting, and then see how Professor Robinson leads you towards discovering protective strategies you can teach your clients. See how gaslighting is used in the social media, politics, cults, families and the workplaces. Learn how to explain healthy behaviours that your clients might need to learn about if they’ve been manipulated throughout their entire lives. Equip yourself with knowledge so that you can then work effectively with your clients who are often only given simplistic advice from others, if any.
Learning about the dark side of human nature such as manipulation, is part of our jobs as counsellors and therapists, so do not miss this unique opportunity and attend this course. You will be fascinated and you will enjoy it but most importantly, with this knowledge, you will be able to support clients who are victims of this common covert manipulation technique with confidence and with good results.
