What is Reflective Training?

Reflective Training (RT) is a proven method for learning counseling and psychological intervention skills.

It uses strategic practice that is based on objective, performance-based feedback, modeling of techniques and peer-to-peer consultation.

Currently RT offers training in the following areas:

Motivational Interviewing
Texas Two-Step Counseling
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Crisis Response Planning (Suicide Risk Assessment & Safety Planning)
Crisis Counseling (Living Room Model)
Reflective Psychotherapy
Dialectical Behavior Therapy
Psychodynamic Psychotherapy
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for PTSD
Social Cognition & Interaction Training (Social Cognition Play)

How Reflective Training Works

When you sign up, you will choose a 4, 6, 8 or 12-hour course and a Training Area. A human coach will reach out to you. They will get you started, keep you on track, and do brief, recorded roleplays with you to track your progress. Your course consists of attending a series of 1-hour online group training sessions. You train at your own pace, but we recommend attending about 1 session per week until you finish your course hours. Multiple sessions are offered each week by various coaches. Come to the sessions that fit your schedule.

During each session, a coach guides learners through a combination of Learning Activities, including Practice, Feedback and Integration

Course	Hours/Sessions	Roleplays*	Duration
Intro	4	1	About 4 weeks
Short	6	2	About 6 weeks
Mid	8	3	About 8 weeks
Full	12	3	About 12 weeks

* Intro courses have 1 roleplay at post training; Short have 2 roleplays at pre- and post-training; Mid and Full courses have 3 roleplays at pre-, mid-, and post-training.

LEARNING ACTIVITIES

PRACTICE

In RT, practice means either doing a roleplay with a coach or fellow learner and uploading it into our video library OR doing an exercise with other learners during a training session.

FEEDBACK

View a roleplay from the Video Library and complete a 10-min Feedback Form. Review Feedback Forms others have completed on your practice.

INTEGRATION

Meet with your coach and other learners to review concepts in your Training Area and discuss application. If your basic knowledge feels shaky, this is the time to review the concepts and procedures of the approach you are studying.

How to get started

Click Sign-up at the upper right. Pick the Training Area that you want to practice.

You will land on your Dashboard page. If you want to join more Training Areas, go to My Account, scroll down to My Enrolled Training Areas and add as many as you want.
