Description: Lying, stealing, manipulating, Oh My!! These are some of the most emotionally charged and challenging behaviors faced by helping professionals. In this training, we will home in on manipulation, which is truly the consolation prize of the disenfranchised. Meaning if you come from an environment where it is not safe to directly ask for what you need, you will find another way to meet that need. Those attempting to assist people engaging in manipulative behaviors can often fall into a cycle of frustration and power struggle, resulting in lose/lose outcomes. Setting power struggles aside, we will place manipulation into the context that drives it and engage brain-based interventions to help people feel safe enough to (and learn how to) directly ask for what they need. We will also explore how our own experiences with being manipulated impacts our interactions with those struggling to feel safe enough to directly ask for what they need. By looking at what research tells us and what our work experiences have shown us, we will develop strategies to assist in negotiating work with manipulation that is as important as it is challenging.
Upon completion of each session participants will be able to: 1. Explore traditional and emerging neuroscience-based understandings of manipulation. 2. Identify and address their own experiences with and beliefs about manipulation. 3. Practice collaborative, non-adversarial ways to understand and engage those who have had to find indirect ways to meet their needs. 4. Be introduced to a variety of neuroscience-based approaches to increasing felt safety (neuroception) in those who engage in manipulation as a survival skill. 5. Practice recognizing and addressing the role of shame, grief and fear in chronic, challenging behaviors and how to release it and develop replacement behaviors that promote resilience. 6. Identify and explore the hidden resilience of resourcefulness in the survival skill of manipulation to help those we serve and support engage their resourcefulness to develop prosocial ways to meet their needs.
