Meaning-Making, Reframing, and New Perspectives (Egan – Stage II) Online

This advanced-level program is designed to develop functional clinical Spanish skills for therapeutic practice, grounded in The Skilled Helper Model by Gerard Egan. Through a structured, experiential approach, participants learn to communicate ethically and effectively with Spanish-speaking clients across diverse helping contexts. The curriculum emphasizes communication for safety, alliance-building, and meaning-making rather than grammatical perfection, aligning language use with core therapeutic competencies (Egan, 2018). By integrating language learning with the three stages of Egan’s model—Exploration, Understanding, and Action—participants strengthen their ability to support client agency, foster therapeutic alliance, and translate insight into concrete steps.

Aligned with Egan Stage II, this session develops Spanish for meaning-making, reframing, and new perspectives. Participants learn how to help clients explore patterns, identify strengths, and consider alternative viewpoints using clear, collaborative language. 

We practice phrasing that supports insight without imposing interpretations and co-creates tentative goals that feel culturally congruent and emotionally safe.
