The client’s processing skills are evaluated with an informal checklist instrument, ‘the Three Tests’, that helps client and therapist to make informed decisions at any moment in treatment. <br>It shows exactly what the client needs to learn at any moment, and provides the therapist with a tailor-made treatment plan. <br>In this workshop many, many practical ideas are offered to work on bearing strength (affect tolerance, attachment and self-compassion). Some techniques and interventions will be practiced in small groups. <br>The presentation is illustrated with many examples, case stories, demonstrations and metaphors.
