Copy of Live – Holiday Heartbreak – Clinical Tools to Manage Holiday Grief

The Holiday Seasons, no matter which one(s) a client may celebrate, usually consist of time and togetherness with loved ones – making the time of year extra difficult when these loved ones are gone. Holiday Grief is a special kind of grief with unique triggers and many complicated emotions and feelings. Without proper intervention and care, Holiday Grief can absolutely cripple some clients – sometimes rendering them unable to function during during an already demanding time of year. Luckily, there are some clinical tools and techniques available to us so we can give these clients the boost they need to make it through!

Holiday Grief, along with seasonal depression, can be taxing on our clients. Navigating the holidays after a loss while setting healthy boundaries can be overwhelming and daunting for clients. In this training, clinicians will learn the signs and common triggers of Holiday Grief. Attendees will leave this workshop with the skills to provide concrete steps for clients to set healthy boundaries and manage the unique pain and emotional challenges of Holiday Grief. Attendees will also learn about different coping skills and interventions to help their clients both identify and successfully manage the different manifestations of Holiday Grief. This training is appropriately timed so that clinicians can immediately begin using these new tools and techniques with their clients as the Holiday seasons approach.

Live – REBT Skills to Conquer Toxic Perfectionism’s “Too Much of a Good Thing” Epidemic

Live – REBT Skills to Conquer Toxic Perfectionism’s “Too Much of a Good Thing” Epidemic

The culture of striving, keeping up with the Jones’s out in suburbia, the “glamor trap” inherent in how we use social media, or the increased difficulty to attain middle class status today – a whole slew of modern forces combine to create a culture of perfectionism that has become a toxic cancer on well-being, relationships, and even how we define normal. It’s a classic problem of “too much of a good thing” often born out of good intentions to develop, succeed, differentiate, or otherwise evolve as a human being. We don’t talk about it enough, but it’s everywhere and the effects can be devastating for people, our clients included!

Have you ever worked with clients that struggle with being perfect and constantly feel defeated due to impossible self-expectations? This training will assist participants to learn to recognize the nature and impact of perfectionism on clients’ thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Learn classic rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT) skills and approaches to effectively address the underlying irrational beliefs that fuel perfectionistic tendencies.

Participants will come away with increased knowledge of how perfectionism can be the underlying cause of depression, anxiety, and other behavioral disorders that impact daily functioning. This course will also teach participants the art of assisting clients to embrace imperfection to be more creative, stress free, and to live life to fullest without the hinderance of being perfect. Please join us for a creative and fascinating look at working with clients to free them from perfectionism!

In addition to the below formal course objectives, this workshop will include the following additions:
  • Ethical considerations when working with clients impacted by perfectionism.
  • The importance of using assessments to inform and guide treatment goals using REBT.
  • Monitoring progress by assisting clients to embrace imperfection as an opportunity to be creative and free in their thinking.
  • Learning and understanding the concept of glimmers versus triggers, and how they physiologically impact clients in a positive manner.

Live – Digital Divide: Ethical Considerations & Challenges – Gen X Therapists & Teletherapy

Live – Digital Divide: Ethical Considerations & Challenges – Gen X Therapists & Teletherapy

When we think of applying ethical standards in practice, rarely do we consider the impact of generational perspective. The generation you are born into heavily influences your perspective on how people relate to each other, respect for hierarchies, how history informs your view of society, and your ability to adapt to and accept changes. Generally, the older we are, the less likely on average we are to easily adapt to and accept changes to processes, norms, technology, etc. Nostalgia is a powerful effect on the process of generational perspective and adaptation. We tend to see the way we are most familar with as the “better way” vs. the new way of doing something. There is often pause, resistance, or even rejection of change depending on how impactful or drastic the change or effort it requires to adopt. Nowhere is this phenomenon more evident than in our debate over how much we should accept teletherapy as the norm, and how much we should allow it into the process of therapy overall.

Please join us to increase your knowledge and insight around practicing ethically as a Generation X therapist in the world of increasing telehealth service delivery. Clinical ethics expert Jodi Geis-Crowder, MS, LPC, who is also a Gen Xer and digital immigrant, brings 26 years of experience in the therapy room. She’ll draw on that experience and perspective to increase your knowledge on how Generation X providers are navigating various ethical and cultural challenges associated with in person versus telehealth mental healthcare. Both sides of the issues (and both schools of thought) will be presented in a lively and engaging manner as you gain insight into maintaining ethical standards and learn to artfully consider legal and regulatory requirements, cultural considerations, and the need to understand and keep pace with changing technology and consumer preferences.

In addition to the below formal course objectives, this workshop will include the following additions:
  • Assessing clients for suitability for in person or telehealth services.
  • The need to engage in consistent training to remain competent with changing technology.
  • Additional technology considerations such as social media, marketing your practice as a Gen Xer with social media/websites, managing email safely and maintaining a HIPAA compliant electronic health record.
  • Define your own ethical decision-making model and identify three points that should be part of your model whether working in person or telehealth.
  • Demonstrate an understanding of the importance of obtaining a clinical supervisor or consultant, IT expert, and social media expert if your business is using social media as a marketing tool.

Live – Digital Divide: Ethical Considerations & Challenges – Gen X Therapists & Teletherapy

Ethics Around Client Attraction and Romantic Relationships in Therapy

Keeping healthy boundaries in therapy sounds “easy.” But in practice, doing so consistently can be extremely difficult, especially when client-therapist feelings of attraction (and other forms of transference) develop. Actively setting protective boundaries can be stressful and at times, and downright awkward as we balance this process with building a solid alliance! Providers may not always admit or discuss situations in which they may be attracted to a client or when a client may flirt with them, but romantic attraction is an involuntary emotional process that can and absolutely does sometimes occur within the therapeutic relationship. Successfully recognizing and managing these feelings and situations is vital to ensure therapy is delivered effectively and ethically. Setting professional boundaries is the cornerstone of success in all therapy relationships, and the absence of consistent boundaries is at the heart of the most common and destructive ethical violations we see.

Please join us to increase your knowledge and insight into appropriately setting ethical boundaries in challenging (sexual, romantic, and other) situations with clients. Jodi Geis-Crowder brings 26 years of experience in the field and will draw on that experience to increase your knowledge of how the behavioral health care industry is commonly reflected in our traditional media, social media, and broader culture. These influences impact expectations of clients, resulting in some unrealistic expectations regarding what therapy is and isn’t. Jodi will also provide a checklist that can be used in mandatory disclosure to artfully deploy ethical boundaries to help you manage expectations throughout the therapeutic relationship. She will share case examples to challenge your ethical decision-making and help you navigate ethical dilemmas when they arise. Finally, she will review specific diagnoses such as personality disorders and clients challenged by chronic suicidal ideation – learn ethically-informed strategies to safely work with these clients.

In addition to the below formal course objectives, this workshop will include the following additions:
1. Define suicidal blackmail and identify two risk management approaches to keep clients safe and limit your professional liability.
2. Identify three ways that you can safely market your practice while maintaining professional boundaries with marketing and social media.
3. Identify two reasons why a clear fee schedule is a necessity and how to manage monetary challenges without contaminating the therapeutic relationship.
4. Define your own ethical decision-making model and identify three points that should be part of your model.
5. Demonstrate an understanding of the importance of obtaining a supervisor or consultant by identifying two ways that consulting with another professional can assist you to set clear boundaries and protect your professional liability.

Live – DBT Special Applications for PTSD: An Experiential & Interactive Forum

Live – DBT Special Applications for PTSD: An Experiential & Interactive Forum

While classic adherent DBT has long been the primary approach for trauma-rooted Borderline Personality Disorder, DBT skills – when deployed strategically – can also be extremely effective in the treatment of trauma and PTSD. Despite DBT’s reputation as a rather prescriptive modality, it holds immense treatment potential when clinically deployed as a tailored set of skills. Join Dr. Emily Wharton for an interactive DBT participative forum as she teaches specialized flexible DBT approaches to treat PTSD and other forms of trauma (especially when more traditional forms of treatment just aren’t working).

This workshop will provide an overview of Dialectical Behavior Therapy for trauma and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder and will discuss how to provide DBT for PTSD flexibly with responsiveness to different forms of trauma. Experiential exercises, case examples, and multimedia will be used to provide applied, practical, clinical learning. The theory, model, and trauma-specific modules of DBT for PTSD will be presented, alongside discussions of how DBT for PTSD differs from the classical DBT model in its applications to trauma, such as the use of specific Anti-Dissociation skills and the incorporation of skills-assisted in-session exposure to the trauma memory. Examples of trauma-focused skills from each skills module (Mindfulness, Emotion Regulation, Interpersonal Effectiveness, and Distress Tolerance) will be presented and practiced. The primary focus of this training is on how to provide DBT in a flexible, responsive, and individualized manner to clients struggling with trauma and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder.
