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.
