Complex Trauma:
From Transgenerational to Intrapsychic
March 18, 2023, 1:00 - 5:00 PM PST
Complex trauma is distinctively different from simple trauma. Its effect on our hearts, minds, and bodies radically changes the innermost core of our being. It is different from the ordinary and extraordinary traumas of our everyday lives. To begin to comprehend the depth of complex trauma demands a willingness to understand both the lived experience and the existential meanings of that experience.
Trauma and Parts Psychology
Utilizing Parts Psychology to Successfully Treat Trauma
April 15, 2023, 1:00 - 5:00 PM PST
The self is not a single entity. We are a collection of parts or subpersonalities, each of which has a different identity and characteristic. We can refer to this work as “Parts Psychology,” and it has its foundation in many classical modalities but is best known today in two contemporary therapeutic models: Voice Dialogue (Hal and Sidra Stone) and Internal Family Systems (Richard Schwartz). Parts psychology gives us access to the complexity of our internal experience which affords us the possibility of deep exploration leading to successful treatment of trauma related issues.
Intersectionality and Trauma:
Identity and Clinical Practice
May 20, 2023, 1:00 - 5:00 PM PST
As therapists, we recognize that our client’s history presents itself in the present moment. We develop the skillfulness to look beneath our client’s symptoms to explore their somatic patterns and adaptive emotional strategies. Many of our clients have complex histories that go beyond their immediate families, and beyond the scope of intergenerational transmission. To understand the epigenetics of trauma, we must embrace transgenerational dimensions.
Practical Psychotherapy:
Practical Skills for Your Therapeutic Toolbox
June 17, 2023, 1:00 - 5:00 PM PST
This workshop is based on the conviction that what is healing about psychotherapy is first and foremost the relationship between you and your client. Whatever your theoretical orientation or the techniques you utilize in your practice, it is the relationship that heals. This workshop also incorporates the belief in the connection between body and mind in psychotherapy, which leads to the necessity to understand both the top-down and bottom-up approach.
Reaching for the Stars:
Psychotherapy as a Spiritual Journey
Terry Marks-Tarlow, PhD
Leanne Domash, PhD
July 15, 2023, 1:00 - 5:00 PM PST
The healing benefit of integrating spiritual concepts and practices into psychotherapy is increasingly appreciated. The psychotherapist/client dyad is what Martin Buber called an I-Thou relationship in contrast with the I-It relationships of the marketplace. Trauma often emerges from the I-It mentality of using people as instruments. The psychotherapy relationship and by extension the physical office can provide a sacred womb for healing and growth.
Grief Skills Training:
Going beyond the 5 stages to increase your
confidence in addressing grief with your clients
August 19, 2023, 1:00 - 5:00 PM PST
In this surreal world of pandemic loss, this workshop will help both our clients and ourselves regain our footing. This workshop will also teach you to recognize the 7 areas of our clients’ lives that are impacted by grief: Cognitive, Physical, Emotional, Spiritual, Social, Family, and Work.
Clinical Application of the
Adult Attachment Interview
Joni Lavick, LMFT
October 21, 2023, 1:00 - 5:00 PM PST
Attachment is learned behavior passed on from parent to child. I’ll explain the structure and function of the AAI’s 20-question assessment. The inventory begins with early childhood attachment, separation, trauma assessment, and shifts in attachment from adolescence to adulthood.
