I just finished a 12-hour motivational interviewing refresher and saw clients settle quicker when I used shorter, reflective responses, but I want my next course to go deeper on resilience skills clients can practice between sessions. What CE have you taken — ideally online and evidence-based — that truly strengthened your communication presence and helped clients build durable self-regulation?
After your 12-hour MI, UPenn’s “Resilience Skills” boosted my presence; clients practiced WOOP + ABC between sessions: https://www.coursera.org/learn/resilience-skills.
Building on @nolan_73, the live‑online MBSR through Brown dialed up my communication presence and gave clients concrete at‑home reps — “body scan” nightly and a quick 3‑minute breathing space they used: Mindfulness Center | School of Public Health | Brown University. It’s eight weeks, so if you’re time‑capped after that 12‑hour MI, CCT via Stanford CCARE is a solid, shorter alternative.
But cCT via Stanford CCARE leveled up my presence; the live‑online dyads (compassionate listening + crisp reflections) translated fast in sessions, and clients used a 10‑minute compassion imagery + values intention between visits: Compassion Cultivation Training (CCT) at ChooseWell Communities, Louisville, KY | Compassion Institute. Small caveat: for folks with acute stress, MSC online landed softer — @danwhit, have you compared the two?
