Getting Therapy Unstuck, Helping Change Stick

2025 ISPT & CTS Master Clinician Workshop feat. Dr. Mary Jo Peebles

Feeling stuck in psychotherapy may be universal, but when we encounter it on our watch, we feel ashamed. Too often we blame ourselves or blame the patient. This workshop focuses on interrupting cycles of blame and instead embracing stuck places as goldmines for growth. Once we feel less stuck, how then do we help our patient’s change stick? We will look at four skills key to lasting change: clear focus, right-hemispheric communication, making sure the work is being absorbed, and actively facilitating internalization. Through mistake-sharing, slides, clinical examples, and roleplays with the presenter, we will bring these concepts to life. By the end of the afternoon, therapists may notice feeling invigorated, curious, and open to how stuck may be exactly the turning point they want their work to experience.
