The idea of exposure-based therapy can be daunting for some clients suffering from crippling OCD. While ERP is the most well-known prescription for OCD, currently it is not the only evidence-based modality that is designed to tackle OCD. In fact, other options exist that do not rely on the exposure element for a successful treatment outcome. For many, I-CBT gets the job done as a stand-alone approach, backed by strong evidence of enduring positive outcomes in the face of OCD’s most challenging symptomatology.
Join us as we learn the ins and outs of Inference-Based Cognitive Behavior Therapy (I-CBT), a non-exposure based modality for the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder. Using a very down-to-earth and accessible teaching style, this course is designed for therapists who come in with an with an existing framework for understanding and treating (OCD). While exposure and response prevention (ERP) is another wonderful tool in treating OCD, our toolboxes for treatment should be as varied as the individuals we serve. Join us as we take a deep dive into the mechanisms of change that make I-CBT such a wonderfully healing tool.

**This is a special 2-day, 12-CE didactic micro-certificate program resulting in a PD-PT(i)® post-nominal credential through Mind Works Professional Education, Inc. **
Most clinicians assume they don’t need to know how to work with personality disorders because “that’s not the population I treat.” With the U.S. about 4% higher than the global average, about 10% of the American population meets criteria for a DSM-5 Personality Disorder (WebMD, 2021). Many more, closer to 30-40% of individuals in the U.S. carry at least two or more common features of a personality disorder. Comorbidity rates in this population for other mental health concerns like anxiety, mood disorders, impulse control, and substance abuse are much higher at 20-50%. If you work with trauma or substance abuse, you’re likely seeing personality disorders in 60-90% of those patients. Since prognosis for individuals with PD’s is relatively poor (i.e. these features are generally regarded as “fixed”), it is that much more important for clinicians to learn how to work with common PD behaviors and cognitions in order to be effective in their work.
Personality disordered individuals are often considered to be some of the most difficult consumers of mental health services for therapists to treat effectively. Clearing the fog surrounding the different conditions and getting to the core of each individual client is vital to a successful treatment outcome. Drawing from the most recent literature, outcome trials, case studies and 20 years of clinical experience, Jeff Riggenbach, PhD will describe the latest evidence-based treatment options and show you how to avoid common pitfalls and therapeutic traps of these individuals who often leave clinicians feeling frustrated, stuck, and disheartened.
In this 2-day live and interactive micro-certification program, Jeff will describe each of the DSM-5 personality disorders and give you simple but effective engagement, management, and treatment techniques for each. Empirically supported strategies from DBT, CBT, and Schema Therapy will be incorporated into an integrated treatment approach that will transform the way your work with this challenging population. You will leave this experience not only with a new credibility marker, but most importantly you’ll leave feeling revitalized, hopeful, and more confident than ever to take on the hardest clients. Come away equipped with a new, comprehensive, empowering approach to assess, conceptualize, and treat this difficult population in a way that offers hope for clients and reinvigoration for providers.

We know from the research that trauma most often precedes addiction. We also know that cognitive techniques carry a bulk of the research evidence for safe and effective treatment of most co-occurring mental health disorders. Given these documented outcomes, clinicians are beginning to find new ways to employ cognitive therapy mechanisms that pack a bigger punch than vanilla CBT. Just when you think you had cognitive therapy all figured out – wait for this one!
The relationship between trauma and addiction is becoming increasingly well established in the literature. This is no surprise, as clinicians working “in the trenches” know all too well that people with unresolved trauma and emotional wounds often turn to substances as a way to “numb out,” forget, or otherwise self-medicate to regulate their emotions. Conversely, people with addictive behavior disorders may drive while impaired, gravitate towards toxic relationships, go to dangerous places to get their substance of choice, or engage in many other behaviors that increase their risk of being traumatized and elevate their vulnerability factors for developing PTSD or other trauma and stress related disorders. It is also known that when cooccurrence is involved, this presents clinicians with a more complicated course of treatment and less favorable treatment outcomes than we see when clients present with only one or the other. The good news is, there is hope! While neuroscience has taught us much about this phenomenon in recent years, evidence-based Cognitive treatments are still show to be at least as effective as many “newer” approaches, and in some circles seem to have almost gotten lost in the shuffle.
Recent protocols have attempted to incorporate PE (prolonged exposure) and other cognitive behavioral treatments with substance use disorder treatments. While further research is needed in this area, the mandate for integration of treatments when dealing with this population seems integral to obtain more favorable outcomes for individuals with these complex conceptualizations. Leave this full-day online training led by international CBT expert Jeff Riggenbach, PhD, with an improved understanding of the neuroscience of trauma, an integrated approach to treating PTSD and addictions, as well as armed with a plethora of evidence-based, yet practical new tools to equip and empower this group to find levels of recovery that have previously eluded them!

by Tim Cassidy | Mar 20, 2024 | Live Events
The stress response is a primitive response system designed to protect us from danger. But some people experience various life events that can reprogram this system to turn on at the wrong time, resulting in recurring stress-based “false alarms” that result in anxiety disorders that can be extremely difficult to treat. A special approach that integrates an understanding of neuroscience, psychotherapy research, and proven therapy techniques can vastly improve treatment outcomes and bring lasting relief for clients stuck in “false alarm” purgatory.
Recent advances in neuroscience have increased our knowledge of how and why people change.Brain-based therapy synthesizes neuroscience, evidence-based treatment, psychotherapy research, and attachment theory into a hybrid therapeutic model.This seminar will examine how outcomes are enhanced by using brain-based therapy approaches with people who have been plagued by autostress disorders. Just as people with autoimmune disorders suffer from attacks on their bodies by their own immune system, people with anxiety suffer attacks by their stress system on their mind/brain/body. Their anxiety becomes an autostress disorder wherein their own stress system no longer protects them from danger, but alerts them to danger when there is none. Clients with anxiety disorders are confused by the symptoms,as well as by different therapists they encounter who ascribe to the various brand name therapies.
