Dissociation:
Turning Pathology into Resilience
Paula Thomson, PsyD
January 20, 2024
9:00 am - 1:00 pm Pacific Time
The dissociative aftermath of childhood trauma can wreak havoc for years and even decades; however, dissociation may not always be pathological. Some individuals exposed to substantial childhood adversity may employ higher dissociative propensity to foster resilience. Evidence-based treatment approaches will be outlined to ameliorate dissociative processing.
Clinical Application of the
Adult Attachment Interview
Joni Lavick, LMFT
February 17, 2024
9:00 am - 1:00 pm Pacific Time
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 changes in attachment from adolescence to adulthood.
Complex Trauma:
From Transgenerational to Intrapsychic
March 23, 2024
9:00 am - 1:00 pm Pacific Time
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 Voice Dialogue to Successfully Treat Trauma
April 20, 2024
9:00 am - 1:00 pm Pacific Time
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.
Group Therapy and Shame Resilience:
How Interpersonal Group Therapy can
Reduce Shame
May 11, 2024
9:00 am - 1:00 pm Pacific Time
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.
Practical Psychotherapy:
Practical Skills for Your Therapeutic Toolbox
June 22, 2024
9:00 am - 1:00 pm Pacific Time
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.
Grief Skills Training:
Going beyond the 5 stages to increase your
confidence in addressing grief with your clients
August 17, 2024
9:00 am - 1:00 pm Pacific Time
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.
Gender, Race, Class and Trauma:
Identity and Clinical Practice
September 21, 2024
9:00 am - 1:00 pm Pacific Time
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.
