| Thu, Jul 25 | Women's Song Council, 303-422-0956 Sallie Robinson Ward and Celia Bockhoff are very excited to be offering a Women's Song Council this summer. We are both deeply cognizant of the imperative that women's voices be heard and empowered at this time on earth. As a migration of women, we are moving toward new insights and actions that heal despair and embolden personal and global transformation. The Women's Song Council will be held on three Tuesday evenings this summer. Our circles are a way for women to get together in intentional community and share our voices and our visions. In a compassionate and sacred space, we will meet in council, chanting, andintuitive song. We welcome ALL voices, and silence is also welcome. This is a place to honor yourself exactly as you are. Connecting into our truths and inspirations, let's empower ourselves and one another; one voice at a time, and many voices together. Our 2019 Women's Song Council will meet on three Tuesdays from 7 to 9 pm : Tuesday June 25 Tuesday July 30, and Tuesday August 27. We will meet at the Community UCC at 2650 Table Mesa Drive, Boulder. We're asking for a $20 contribution each time, but students are free! Learn More... |
| Sat, Jul 27 - Sun, Jul 28 | Somatic EMDR Tools for Chronic Pain and Illness - Somatic EMDR Workshop in Boulder, Colorado - APA, NBCC, and EMDRIA Credits Hours Available, 1-800-674-3637 This two-day Somatic EMDR Workshop -- taught by Barb Maiberger and Dr. Arielle Schwartz, authors of "EMDR Therapy and Somatic Psychology: Interventions to Enhance Embodiment" -- is designed to help EMDR therapists navigate the complexity of working with clients who are experiencing chronic pain or illness. Clients who are in physical and emotional pain may struggle to connect to their bodies and want to escape sensations. This disconnect can make treatment difficult for EMDR therapy to be effective. Research now shows that physical pain can be linked to unresolved PTSD from childhood trauma. Understanding how to work with the underlying trauma, as well as the actual physical sensations with EMDR therapy is essential in working with this population. Our integrative approach helps clients feel more connected to their bodies, increasing their ability to relate to their pain with more compassion and feel at choice with their responses.

Brain to Brain, Body to Body: The Relational Nature of ShameFri, Aug 2 - Sat, Aug 3 Pat Ogden, BPI - 303 494 0393
| We will address the various manifestations of shame, and how shame is so often disguised and veiled, sometimes even to our clients themselves. Since the first shameful encounters occur between the infant or young child and attachment figure primarily through non-verbal communication, such as prosody, eye contact, and touch, we will explore the role of these in the therapy hour in terms of healing shame. Foundational principles that create a therapeutic container, or atmosphere, that maximize the possibility of working through shame will be illustrated and operationalized in clinical practice. With an emphasize on the relational nature of shame, special attention will be given to the importance of the therapeutic relationship, including both implicit and explicit communication between therapist and client, to resolve shame. Videotapes will illustrate interventions drawn from Sensorimotor Psychotherapy work with clients. Ten hours of CE credits are available. |

| Fri, Aug 16 - Sun, Aug 18 | Learn EMDR Therapy To Help Heal PTSD and Trauma - Complete EMDR Training Package - EMDR Training in Boulder, Colorado - Part 1: August 16, 2019 to August 18, 2019 - Part 2: November 1, 2019 to November 3, 2019 - 10 Hours of Group Consultation Included, 1-800-674-3637 Learn EMDR Therapy to Heal PTSD and Trauma and See Real Change in Your Clients Today! As clients struggle with not making the changes they are longing for in therapy, many therapists become frustrated and feel helpless that they are lacking the skills to help their clients make lasting change and transformation. If therapists only pay attention to what the client is saying, and the client is struggling to make lasting change, then something is missing in the therapeutic process. The solution may be a somatic approach to healing trauma using EMDR therapy. This evidenced based, integrative modality, is a recommended treatment of choice by several international mental health organizations for healing PTSD and trauma. Millions of people around the world have transformed the negative impact experienced from traumatic events into more adaptive ways of living by increasing their confidence, sense of joy and feeling more at peace. Real change is possible! This EMDRIA Approved EMDR Training program is personally taught by Barb Maiberger, the founder and CE Program Administrator for the Maiberger Institute. Barb's proprietary approach has pioneered the further integration of somatic interventions into EMDR therapy. She is the author of "EMDR Essentials: A Guide for Clients and Therapists", and co-author of "EMDR Therapy and Somatic Psychology: Interventions to Enhance Embodiment in Trauma Treatment."

| Sat, Aug 24 - Sat, Aug 24 | BPI Workshop: Fill Your Private Practice and Keep It Full: A System that Runs on Auto-Pilot with Becky DeGrossa, Founder of CounselingWise, 303 494 0393 A predictable way of getting clients eludes most private practice owners. The yearning to become a successful private practice therapist is often met with the frustration of not being able to attract enough clients. Even when clients do materialize, these bounties are followed by long periods of "new client drought". This turns the excitement of the private practice journey into a doubt-filled trip that feels like it will never end. The good news is that unpredictable client flow is simply due to the lack of a reliable system, and it can be fixed. This workshop will first give you an understanding of how potential clients look for therapists. Once you understand the different paths they take to find help, you will realize how and where you can insert yourself into their journey. In fact, you will see how you can not only appear in front of them, but you can ensure that they feel delighted to have found you -- the perfect therapist for them! The system being taught in this workshop will enable you to make this happen "on repeat" for an array of ideal clients you wish to serve. Once you put this system in place, you'll then be able to simply focus on doing good work, because your ideal clients will appear on an ongoing basis Workshop goes from 1 to 5:15. Cost is $100. Place: Boulder Psychotherapy Institute, 1140 Lehigh St., Boulder, CO 80305. Call us at 303 494 0393 if you have questions. Learn More... |

Group members observe and experience groups and practice leading the group in a safe learning environment. Group Therapy is a largely untapped resource for private practice building. It is more cost effective for clients and highly effective as a modality for therapy - if you have the training and experience needed to keep groups going. This class is both didactic and experiential. You will learn about the principles of group therapy, watch videos and live demonstrations, do exercises designed to increase your skill level, and get an opportunity to co-lead the group. Space is limited and the workshop is filling up - so please go ahead and register and pay if you'd like us to hold you a space! |

| Sat, Oct 19 - Sun, Oct 20 | Somatic EMDR Tools for Grief and Loss - Somatic EMDR Workshop in Boulder, Colorado - October 19, 2019 (Saturday) to October 20, 2019 (Sunday), 1-800-674-3637 This Somatic EMDR Workshop -- taught by Barb Maiberger, MA, LPC and Katie Asmus, MA, LPC, BMP -- is designed to help EMDR therapists learn how to work with grief and loss using EMDR therapy. We often hear EMDR therapists say that they can't work with grief because clients are afraid that EMDR therapy will "take away" the grief and the connection to their loved one or meaningful situations. That is impossible! EMDR therapy cannot take a person's grief away. What it does is help people process what is stuck and holding them back and causing tremendous pain. If losses are not processed they can lead to distressing symptoms and dysfunctional thoughts, feelings, and body sensations. Through consciously exploring the impact of loss, therapists will deepen their understanding of the complex factors contributing to the grief process. Our integrative approach helps clients move with and through their pain emotionally, physically and spiritually using somatic tools that will help clients feel more alive and present while still honoring the complexity of the loss. - APA, EMDRIA, and NBCC CE credit hours available. - Visit our website or contact us to learn more.
