I had an opportunity to use APT with a client on my recent clinical placement and it was such an incredible learning experience. As you highlighted during the two days, this approach really opens us up to our own affect phobias… I think this is one of the most powerful aspects of this therapeutic approach- this past summer is the first time I’ve had the opportunity to apply this approach in practice and, unsurprisingly, my own affect phobias were highlighted to me! I was constantly reminded of my role in the client’s process and how my own affect phobia may have been blocking my availability to the client.
