• This process operates at two levels: (1) developing a generative state (in the therapist, client, and relationship field) and then (2) using specific methods of transforming negative experiences and behaviors.
• Multiple techniques and examples for will be given, along with an exercise and demonstration.
• Educational Objectives: Identify three major types of negative responses that will block therapeutic change.
• Identify three methods for transforming these negative responses to positive resources.
