Believe it or not, an entire clinical community exists around SST, or Single Session Therapy. It is a very direct and solution-oriented way to think about and approach mental health therapy. It is a very strategic model, built to provide value and resolution for the client within a single session. Why is this a good thing? Well, some clients are busy or resistant to therapy (for cultural or other reasons), and may not even entertain going to therapy if they think about coming for many sessions in a row. This means we have a unique opportunity to extend important services to a deserving population and hard-to-reach group of people.
In this “single session” workshop, I will discuss the nature of single-session therapy (SST) and its foundations. I will then present the features of the single-session therapy mindset and the practical strategies that flow from this mindset. I will also do a live demonstration of SST with a volunteer willing to discuss a personal issue that they wish to resolve. Finally, I will also discuss common reservations therapists have about SST

While working with psychological “parts” reached pop status with the advent of Internal Family Systems (IFS) theory, the concept of “parts work” is a concept that resonates with many therapists and clients alike. Consequently, we are starting to see it used in conjunction with many popular therapy approaches., your favorite trauma therapy included!
EMDR is a much more flexible tool than many people think. Beyond its classic applications, it can also be helpful as a tool to address several different common elements of trauma dysfunction, within the classic 8 phase approach.
This course will focus on learning advanced EMDR ego state interventions to work with some of your most challenging clients within EMDR. This training will include elements of parts work, ego state interventions and feeling state theory. You will learn specific interventions to use for complex PTSD, addictive and compulsive disorders, fears, and phobias.

We know from the landmark ACES study that small t and large T trauma especially may increase the prevalence of mental health disorders and overall psychological impairment both during childhood and into adulthood if left untreated. Most experts argue that trauma from attachment rupture and caregiver abuse or neglect can be the most devastating in terms of an overall psychological health prognosis.
The neurobiology of attachment and trauma are closely related and impact child and adolescent brain development. EMDR and Attachment Based Interventions are effective at healing the damage from attachment wounds and traumatic experiences of a child and/or adolescent. Learn specific interventions that will assist you in working with trauma and attachment repair as it applies to children and adolescent populations.

Such a stigma exists around sexual addiction that too few seek help when they need it and not enough trained clinicians are available to clinically treat it as well as validate its existence as a growing mental health concern. In the same vein, there exists too few opportunities to train in this area, possibly driven by the extreme amount of taboo around sexual behavioral disorders.
It is estimated that 12-30 million people within the U.S. suffer with a sexual addictive disorder. There continues to be a stigma in the world today related to addictive sexual behaviors with little to no understanding about the origin and cause of these behaviors. In this course you will learn how sexual and behavioral addictive disorders form, as well as the importance of attachment as an implication for risk and success in treatment. In addition you will learn how to effectively address clients that wrestle with sexual addictive disorders.

At the core of many addictive disorders is the history or experience of psychological trauma. So, how do we more specifically address addiction with one of the most popular trauma therapies in use today (i.e. EMDR)?
The DeTUR method is a specific evidence based EMDR protocol for targeting triggers and urges associated with addictive behaviors. The DeTUR method uses an urge reduction model with the goal of desensitizing triggers/urges and getting to the root core trauma that has led to the dysfunctional behaviors that are associated with addictive tendencies.
