Verbal and non-verbal communication in the therapeutic dyad is described and methods to reduce negative attunement are discussed. Tools to develop negative/positive cognition’s and appropriate therapeutic interweaves are taught. Attention to and responses to non-verbal communication between therapist and client is also examined.
