Moral injury has become commonly used phrase to describe some of the difficult internal experiences that show up in the aftermath of moral challenges and values violations. But are emotions like guilt and anger necessarily dysfunctional? This workshop will begin by helping participants to notice the difference between moral pain – the sign of an intact moral compass – and the excruciating suffering of moral injury. Doing so will help clinicians to avoid pathologizing, invalidating, and attempting to “fix” thoughts and feelings that are values-based, socially functional, and part of healthy living. Facilitating moral healing requires an informed and precise conceptualization of the sufferer’s lived experience along with a broad repertoire of traditional and contemporary interventions.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is particularly well suited to foster mindful awareness of the reality of wrongdoing and intentional (re)alignment to core values. This workshop will teach participants ACT processes and practices for enhancing mindfulness, cultivating compassion, fostering forgiveness, and engaging values. With the knowledge and skills provided, clinicians will be able to facilitate healing, growth, and resilience by connecting their clients to a sense of vitality, to their essential self, and to enlivened connection to the world.
**This is a 3.75-CE noninteractive, self-paced online video course delivered in home study format via an industry-standard online learning platform**
Agenda:
00:00 – 01:00: Conceptualizing Moral Pain & Injury
01:00 – 02:00: Assessment
02:00 – 03:00: Flexible Thinking, Centered Thinker
03:00 – 04:00: ACT… Accept, Choose, Take
Objectives:
This training will provide participants clinical knowledge and tools to:
a). Identify characteristics of potentially morally injurious events (PMIEs) and distinguish natural moral pain from the functionally impairing moral injury as well as from symptoms of PTSD.
b). Construct a nuanced case conceptualization and target ACT interventions to competently and effectively address moral injury.
c). Learn and describe how to engage processes of moral healing including mindfulness, compassion, and forgiveness in the context of evidence-based therapy.
d). Learn how to enable clients to align and engage with moral values, including those violated in the context of past PMIE exposure.
Target Audience:
The target audience for this course includes licensed psychologists, social workers, counselors, MFT’s, and other licensed clinical mental health professionals.

**This is a special 6-day, 30.5-CE interactive and didactic certification program resulting in a certified EMDRPT-II® credential through Mind Works Professional Education, Inc. **
This program provides continuing education, not higher education (i.e. it is not meant to replace a graduate degree and the rigorous educational requirements of initial licensure). The length of this program, objectives, and requirements for certification have been designed accordingly.
Our EMDR programs and associated credentials are exclusively affiliated with and available through Mind Works Professional Education, Inc. and Online CE Credits. EMDR certification is provided by various entities across the US and abroad, but continuing education certification is not regulated nor owned by any one particular education provider, association, or broker. Individual state regulatory authorities solely determine scope, competency, and legal right to practice, as is true for any other therapy modality (CBT, DBT, etc.). To determine the quality and legitimacy of your investment, we encourage you to look at the experience and education level of your trainer, cost of the program, ongoing requirements if there are any, quality level of the learning platform, and established reputation of the education provider.
IMPORTANT: This exclusive, live certification program takes place during a 6-day non-contiguous period in January 2025 – ***view Program Schedule here.
-
ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENT FOR CERTIFICATION:
To receive your EMDRPT-II® live cohort certification credential, you MUST register and pay for at least 2 upcoming live one-hour consultations or practice labs with your trainer Dr. Jennifer Sweeton, to take place in January and/or February 2025. You may register now from our Live Consultations page here.
EMDR is a set of evidence-based, powerful tools available to clinicians who treat psychological trauma and PTSD, as well as other mental health conditions. While EMDR skills have been popular for many years, comprehensive expert-quality training in these skills can be difficult to find and is often cost-prohibitive (i.e. some EMDR training companies charge $10K-$15K for comprehensive advanced level certification, plus ongoing renewal fees and “supervision” requirements).
In this 6-day advanced level comprehensive EMDR training program, you will review in detail the classic 8-phase model of EMDR before progressing into more advanced modifications and adaptations for other populations, modalities, and co-occurring mental health concerns (e.g. adapting EMDR for telehealth, addiction, anxiety, depression, and for your work with children and minority identity individuals). Your instructor, Stanford-trained neuroscientist and trauma psychologist Dr. Jennifer Sweeton, will break down the mechanisms of EMDR. She’ll demonstrate how it engages the thinking, feeling, and primitive areas of the brain, effectively translating EMDR into a powerful set of tools you’ll be confident and excited to use with your clients. Her program curriculum establishes a firm core foundation of classic EMDR that will allow you to both DO it well and understand how it works and why it works. Research shows that clinicians who understand why and how a therapy works are more likely to experience better client outcomes. This is unique to Dr. Sweeton’s teaching style, and her progression from a solid base to more advanced concepts enables you to be more flexible in how you approach trauma treatment with EMDR – truly a standard bearer in modern EMDR practice. This live, interactive, webinar-based program will require participants to engage in practical application through case studies, Q&A, client demonstrations, and consultation/practice labs.
DISCLAIMER: To minimize excessive transactional burden, if you request to be converted to an “Everything Plan” membership AFTER purchasing this certification program, you may do so only within 48 hours of your registration on a 24 month plan, paid in advance at the prevailing annual rate.

Grounded within the principles of polyvagal theory, affective neuroscience, and trauma-informed care, this class will help you gain a better understanding of how our brains and bodies respond to stress and trauma.
Vagal toning has benefits for emotional, mental, and physical health and is especially important for any imbalance to the autonomic nervous system as a result of trauma, chronic illness, and those suffering from long-haul covid symptoms. When we look at the root cause of these symptoms, we recognize that they all come from a common source which is a dysregulation of your autonomic nervous system.
Healthy vagal tone can be thought of as an optimal balance of parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous system actions. This balance is regulated by your vagus nerve. Vagal toning means you are adding gentle stimulation to the vagus nerve pathway through breath, sound, eye-movements, self-applied touch, and gentle movements that help you come into balance. We are strengthening the nerve pathway of the social engagement system through repeated practices within the context of connection and safety through conscious breathing, movement, and self-compassion practices. Since most of us are sympathetic dominant, balance involves more down-regulation of the nervous system into the parasympathetic. However, some of need up-regulating strategies to come out of fatigue or collapse.
Within this class, Dr. Schwartz will offer lectures on the science of vagal toning and guide you through an experiential process so you can sense the benefit of these practices for yourself as well as teach them to clients. These practices can quickly reduce client’s anxiety, obsessive thinking, or feelings of hopelessness. Applied polyvagal theory within psychotherapy provides a powerful foundation for lasting changes that promote physiological balance and psychological wellness.
Join Arielle Schwartz, PhD, CCTP-II, E-RYT, internationally sought-out teacher, therapeutic yoga instructor, and leading voice in the healing of PTSD and complex trauma as she guides you through applied polyvagal theory in somatic therapies.

by Tim Cassidy | Nov 20, 2024 | Live Events
Some helping professionals, through their clinical observations, regard deep regret to be among the worst emotions a human being can experience. Deep regret is haunting, it revisits, and it can hijack a person’s self-concept and tarnish future experiences. Regret can turn ‘toxic’ when it becomes a reflection of a life unlived – a near ubreakable fixation on the road taken (or not taken) such that a person becomes stuck in negative thought patterns that prevent them from enjoying the here and now.
In this three-hour workshop, British Cognitive Behavior expert, professor, and clinician Dr. Windy Dryden will discuss regret and distinguish between toxic and healthy regret. He will outline the issues that therapists need to consider when dealing with toxic regret. Dr. Dryden will also conduct a live demonstration with a volunteer willing to discuss a current personal issue they wish to resolve concerning toxic regret.
