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.

confidence in addressing grief with your clients

Debi Jenkins Frankle, LMFT

Shame on You:

How Interpersonal Group Therapy can
Reduce Shame

Rena Pollak, LMFT, CGP

September 9, 2023, 1:00 - 5:00 PM PST

Brene Brown has clearly defined shame as “…. that warm feeling that washes over us, making us feel small, flawed, and never good enough.”  For some, this feeling is intense, persistent and soul crushing.  For others, it is such a feared emotion that it’s avoided at the cost of intimacy, vulnerability, and self-expression. 

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. 

Creativity & Play in Psychotherapy

Terry Marks Tarlow, PhD

November 18, 2023, 1:00 - 5:00 PM PST

Effective psychotherapy is inherently creative by attending to novelty and amplifying new ways to be, act, and relate to others. This holds true for therapists and patients alike. By attuning ourselves to creative communications that emerge both spontaneously and deliberately during sessions, we deepen the growth potential of the work.
