DMC training shows participants how to successfully manage clients exhibiting strong denial and treatment resistance. DMC uses a master treatment plan for interrupting denial resistance and teaching clients to recognize and manage their own denial.
Denial is a normal and natural response for coping with painful and overwhelming problems.
DMC provides a practical system for describing the twelve most common denial patterns and guiding clients through a series of exercises that help them to identify and more effectively manage their own denial. The structured DMC exercises teach clients how to recognize and effectively stop their denial when it occurs so they can identify and clarify the problems that caused them to seek help. Clients are then guided through the process of making a firm and deep commitment to taking a next step in recovery. This professional guide provides advanced clinical skills for motivating substance abusers to recover.
