This 3-hour online interactive training workshop supports compassionate mental health professionals to work more effectively with clients who appear disengaged, withdrawn, ambivalent, or unmotivated. Rather than treating avoidance as resistance or lack of effort, the workshop introduces a psychologically informed framework that understands avoidance as a threat-based protection response.
Participants will learn how perceived safety, nervous-system regulation, and relational dynamics directly shape engagement and motivation. The focus is practical, ethical, and clinically grounded — helping attendees recognise early signs of withdrawal, prevent relational ruptures, and restore engagement without pressure or confrontation.
This online course will take place on Tuesday 15 September 2026, from 2:30-5:30pm, NZST.
