About This Workshop:
Litigation may be a legal process, but for your clients, it’s a deeply personal unraveling. As a legal professional, you’re not just handling facts and paperwork—you’re often managing people at their emotional limits.
This interactive three-hour workshop, led by psychotherapist and PracticeForte affiliate Sanaa Lundgren, is designed to help you better navigate the psychological turbulence your clients bring to the table. Through psychoeducation, real-world case scenarios, and grounded communication techniques, this workshop equips you with essential skills to respond effectively to distress, anxiety, and avoidance.
Learn how to maintain composure, protect your professional boundaries, and foster a sense of emotional containment that benefits both your client’s wellbeing and the progress of the legal case.
