Measuring Readiness: Analyzing Motivation in a Demo Session with a Busy Mom
from the Informed Simplicity podcast · host jocrharris
It’s way too common for therapists to feel confused and frustrated with their model. Many counselors feel like their models work for some but feel hopeless with certain clients. Worst of all is when therapists feel like a "rent-a-friend" instead of a catalyst for change. I’m Dr. Jordan Harris, and I help therapists move from "lost" to "confident" by mastering the meta-skills of clinical excellence. My approach isn't about learning another model—it’s about knowing when and how to use the tools you already have to create deeper, more transformative emotional encounters. In my trainings, we focus on four key pillars: Motivation: Working with (not against) client resistance. Persuasion: Engaging clients so they show up hopeful and ready. Experiencing: Moving past surface-level talk into deep emotional work. Body Language: Reading non-verbal cues for true clinical attunement. 🚀 Take your practice to the next level: Join my 6-month Clinical Excellence Class or attend a Deliberate Practice workshop. 🔗 Learn more and sign up here: Newsletter: https://www.jordanthecounselor.com/subscribe Trainings: https://www.jordanthecounselor.com/clinical-excellence
