New book from Lynn for April 2018

Therapy with a Coaching Edge: Partnership, Action and Possibility in Every Session

By Lynn Grodzki

From the publisher, W. W. Norton: Have you been interested in what coaching techniques might have to offer your therapy clients but unsure how to proceed, or curious as to whether a coaching approach is a “fit” for them… or you? If so, Therapy with a Coaching Edge is the book for you. Here, professional practice guru Lynn Grodzki offers a new, paradigm-changing therapy model—adding the leverage and action of a coaching approach to the wisdom and goals of psychotherapy.

Grodzki presents a set of powerful coaching strategies, that have been adapted and designed specifically for therapy, to provide more reach and range for therapists and counselors. Using this model, therapists at all levels of experience can promote behavioral change without insisting on homework or rigid protocols. Clients can spot results in each and every therapy session. Resistance to treatment often softens and client retention improves.

The book gives new and veteran clinicians the skills to not only improve client outcomes, but also energize themselves as practitioners. Therapists feel empowered as they learn to ask compelling questions that generate “ah-ha” moments. They help clients go beyond a discussion of symptoms to explore topics of core values. They show clients how to make decisions based on both necessity and a vision of a better future.

The model provides readers with just-in-time learning, to identify a skill when it is needed and then immediately apply the steps in a session.

Grodzki, an expert psychotherapist and master certified coach, has proven herself to be a trusted voice for therapists through her writing and workshops; she makes the steps to using a coaching approach understandable by offering lively case examples, “your turn” exercises, and sample scripts to give her readers the confidence and context to move forward.
