Do you have clients who live by the motto, “Enough is Never Enough”? Help them understand the repercussions of constantly seeking out sensations.
Full Description:
Sensation-seeking is a trait we all have. It includes the search for complex and new experiences. People with high sensation-seeking (HSS) personalities crave exotic and intense experiences – even when physical or social risks are involved. Addictions, dangerous driving, and relationship dissatisfaction have all been linked to overly high sensation-seeking. In addition, HSS can interact with psychological conditions.
Dr. Kenneth Carter, an authority on sensation-seeking, introduces strategies to identify unhealthy HSS in your clients, and discusses the psychology and neuroscience behind this concept. Learn how to distinguish HSS from psychological conditions, and how to discuss it with your client. This 1-hour webinar is designed to equip you with valuable knowledge and strategies that you can use immediately.
