Description

Robert E. Wubbolding, EdD, LPCC, BCC presents this pre-recorded 90 minute webinar. The central component of this presentation is a simulated role-play demonstration showing participants how reality therapy applies to a client and illustrating that reality therapy is a mental health system, not a mental disorder system. It aims at preserving and increasing the mental health of clients, which is often linked to physical health. Reality therapy focuses on the total person by helping them develop, maintain, and enhance their relationships. In neuroscience, the brain is seen as a relational process. When human beings have healthy relationships, they are more inclined to live satisfying lives. Counselors help facilitate better human relationships by focusing on clients’ total behavior: actions, thinking, feelings, and physiology. Clients then more effectively satisfy their inner needs, which are their behavioral motivators. This presentation focuses on practical skills for addressing client behaviors: the wants, doing, evaluation, and planning (WDEP) system.
