Sam Alibrando – PESI – Emotionally Intelligent Psychotherapy: Integrating Power, Love, & Mindfulness

Finding Your Therapeutic “Sweet Spot” – A Meta-Model for All Therapists

There are three dimensions of the relational world: power, love, and mindfulness. A client’s ability to navigate these three dimensions determines how well they function in their life and relationships – and how well therapists operate from a therapeutic “sweet spot” determines their ability to help clients become more emotionally intelligent. Outcome studies confirm that the most salient predictors of therapeutic success are not related to theoretical orientation or techniques, but to the therapeutic relationship.

In this recording, Dr. Alibrando presents the Interpersonal Triangle, a meta-model developed from the work of Karen Horney and Wilfred Bion. Applications will be made to improve understanding of clients, therapist countertransference, and the change process. Working the Triangle, a practical tool, will create the dynamic balance of power, love, and mindfulness for both therapist and client, and provide therapists with a roadmap to work through impasses with challenging clients. You will take the Interpersonal Triangle Inventory to identify your therapeutic “sweet spot” with any client at any given time. This recording provides tools to transform the therapeutic process regardless of therapist theoretical orientation or level of experience.

Frequently Asked Questions:

1. Innovative Business Model:
   • Embrace the reality of a genuine business! Our approach involves forming a group buy, where we collectively share the costs among members. Using these funds, we purchase sought-after courses from sale pages and make them accessible to individuals facing financial constraints. Despite potential reservations from the authors, our customers appreciate the affordability and accessibility we provide.
2. The Legal Landscape: Yes and No:
   • The legality of our operations falls into a gray area. While we lack explicit approval from the course authors for resale, there’s a technicality at play. When procuring the course, the author didn’t specify any restrictions on resale. This legal nuance presents both an opportunity for us and a boon for those seeking budget-friendly access.
3. Quality Assurance: Unveiling the Real Deal:
   • Delving into the heart of the matter – quality. Acquiring the course directly from the sale page ensures that all documents and materials are identical to those obtained through conventional means. However, our differentiator lies in going beyond personal study; we take an extra step by reselling. It’s important to note that we are not the official course providers, meaning certain premium services aren’t included in our package:
     • No coaching calls or scheduled sessions with the author.
     • No access to the author’s private Facebook group or web portal.
     • No entry to the author’s exclusive membership forum.
     • No direct email support from the author or their team.

   We operate independently, aiming to bridge the affordability gap without the additional services offered by official course channels. Your understanding of our unique approach is greatly appreciated.

Refund is acceptable:

• Firstly, item is not as explained
• Secondly, Item do not work the way it should.
• Thirdly, and most importantly, support extension can not be used.
