| Thu, Jun 20 - Thu, Jun 20 | Boulder CAP Breakfast Talk: TREATMENT OF BORDERLINE PERSONALITY DISORDER -- Cassandra Katz, 720 244 2299 Join this Networking/Education Event at BPI, (Boulder Psychotherapy Institute) 1140 Lehigh St, Boulder, CO 80305 (Table Mesa)) from 8 -10 am, for this excellent & informative presentation. Bring business cards & flyers to this event hosted by CAP. Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is the result of a sensitive and reactive temperament met with an invalidating environment during crucial periods of early childhood development. When this combination occurs, a client suffers from the belief that their thoughts and emotions are invalid and incorrect. That's why validation is a crucial component of treatment and a must to keep the client engaged and working for the long haul. Marsha Linehan, PhD, founder of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, says it's "impossible to overestimate the importance of validation" in recovery from BPD. Learn about the principles of validation and how to put them into action in this illuminating presentation. Cassandra Katz, LCSW CACIII, has distinguished herself as an expert in the treatment of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and addictions. She has a private practice in Boulder and has been a psychotherapist for over 20 years. She has treated hundreds of clients with this difficult combination of problems.

| Sat, Jun 29 - Sun, Jun 30 | Somatic EMDR Toolsfor Complex PTSD - Somatic EMDR Workshop in Boulder, Colorado - June 29, 2019 (Saturday) to June 30, 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 understand the unique importance of EMDR readiness when working with Complex PTSD. Over the years, we have witnessed therapists struggling to resource their clients with "Safe Place" which is an essential skill for EMDR therapy. Clients who have experienced neglect, abandonment, abuse in their early stages of development may have a limited capacity to tolerate emotions and body sensations. Trying to apply the EMDR therapy trauma protocol with clients with Complex PTSD too soon can lead clients to dissociate, shut down treatment and never want to do EMDR therapy ever again. Slowing down the preparation phase and integrating creative multifaceted approaches is key to implementing EMDR therapy successfully with Complex PTSD. Somatic and other sensory resourcing tools are explored to help clients feel more in control allowing them to deepen their connection to the body while staying present in a safe way. When clients develop a better sense of control around their distress, treatment can proceed in a gentler way. - NBCC, APA, and EMDRIA Credit Hours Available - Visit our website or contact us to learn more.

| Fri, Jul 12 - Sun, Jul 14 | Learn EMDR Therapy To Help Heal PTSD and Trauma - Complete EMDR Training Package - Boulder, Colorado - Part 1: July 12, 2019 to July 14, 2019 - Part 2: September 20, 2019 to September 22, 2019 - 10 Hours of Group Consultation Included - APA and NBCC CE Cr, 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."

| 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.

| 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. |
