A therapeutic task can make all the difference in helping our client reach the goal of their therapy, but a task must be set up and framed in the right way, to ensure the client takes action.
I’ll share a few quick task-setting case studies in this video, and I’ll share the most dramatic task I ever got a client to agree to complete. Finally I share 4 techniques you can use to get your clients to accept your task suggestions.
I hope you find these tips useful, and please leave a comment to let me know the most dramatic task you have ever got a client to agree to do (or that you yourself have agreed to do!) Remember to hit ‘like’ and subscribe for future videos from me.
