How will I interact with the community of trainees?
Trainees are encouraged to form practice partner relationships with other trainees. Practice partners can trade practice sessions and assist each other through the training process.
Each trainee automatically becomes a subscriber to the Trainee Email Discussion Group, which is a place for communicating with fellow trainees to discuss your experience, pose questions and form study groups.
You will also interact with other trainees in each Group Practicum, which consists of a cohort of four trainees conducting practice sessions under the guidance of a Trainer.

Can I receive CEUs for this training?
Yes. Therapists and counselors licensed in the USA can elect to receive 12 hours of CE credit for each Group Practicum and 4 hours for each Individual Practicum. Full details are provided on the signup page for GP and IP.

I am new to training via telephone sessions. How effective is it?
Use of the telephone medium in our training program is based on our extensive, successful experience with it both for therapy and for training. We predict you will be happily surprised by the consistent richness of experience and learning that takes place, undiminished by the absence of visual cues. In fact, working without the visual channel is actually conducive to deeper experiential work, as when clients close their eyes for experiential work during in-person sessions. Recent research has shown that therapy by phone is usually as effective as in-person therapy, as measured by several outcome markers. A recent study found that of clients who had experienced both in-person and phone therapy, significantly more than half prefered therapy by phone. The convenience of participating comfortably from the privacy of your home, office or car is also a big advantage.
