BONUS EPISODE: What is Reflective Functioning?

Topics Touched on:Abby and Kellee touch on reflective functioning and why this is so important for us to assess and support our clients around, but also why it is imperative for us as therapists to have the capacity to do so as well. They share two reflective functioning interventions during the episode, and how and why to utilize it with clients. Abby and Kellee discuss therapists not being able to increase clients’ mentalization if they do not possess this ability themselves and call for therapists to do their own deep work.  Peter Fonagy- https://www.ucl.ac.uk/psychoanalysis/research/reflective-functioning-questionnaire-rfqLouis Cozolino- https://mindgains.org/resources/advisory-board/louis-cozolino-ph-d/Peter Levine- https://www.somaticexperiencing.comLisa Dion- https://lisa-dion.comAna Gomez- https://www.anagomez.orgRobyn Gobbel- https://robyngobbel.comCircle of Security: https://www.circleofsecurityinternational.com/members/cosp-videos-and-handouts/Dan Siegel: https://www.attachment-and-trauma-treatment-centre-for-healing.com/blogs/understanding-and-working-with-the-window-of-toleranceMarshall Lyles: https://www.marshalllyles.com Follow us: https://www.instagram.com/the_whole_therapist/https://www.facebook.com/TWTPodcasters/Visit our website:https://wholetherapistinstitute.com Follow us: https://www.instagram.com/the_whole_therapist/https://www.facebook.com/TWTPodcasters/Visit our website:https://wholetherapistinstitute.com Email us: [email protected]
