Do you know why you bought that ridiculous Made For TV item? Dark Psychology has the answers! Together as a group, we will discuss some of the manipulative tactics that have arisen from the field of psychology. We will explore how dark psychology can even find it’s way into a therapeutic setting. The last portion of the training will include provider self-reflection into their own motivations with clients. You will leave this training with a better understanding of manipulation and how to identify your own intentions as a therapist.
