| Fri, Sep 27 - Sat, Sep 28 | The Basic Six Part System: A New Perspective in Working with Complex Trauma for Improved EMDR Processing, (631) 592-2838 The focus of this workshop is to introduce a simpler way of naming and aligning parts within the Self that reduces confusion for the clinician and clients of all ages throughout the eight phases of EMDR. Participants will learn each part of The Basic Six Part System and its function towards the Self. Instructions of how to visualize, accept, and care for one or more internal parts will be reviewed with assistance from audio and case transcripts. This protocol will tackle how to increase stabilization for clients with Complex Trauma (namely: PTSD, Acute PTSD, Dissociative Disorders, Personality Disorders, ODD, Conduct Disorder, and more). Participants will learn to extend the Preparation Phase in order to minimize the roadblocks that can occur in phase 4, such as ego state dysregulation, resistance, and/or dissociative symptoms. The use of lecture, demonstration, and practicums will reveal clients having a more cohesive internal system in which they can negotiate and compromise upon entering Phases 3-8. Facilitated by Julie Dubovoy, LCSW-R, visiting from NY. Learn More... |

| This workshop combines techniques drawn from Gestalt, existential, psychodynamic, body-oriented and systems approaches to group. 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!
This workshop is full, but you can sign up to be placed on the Wait List. |

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."

Jenna Lee Mathews and I are hosting an intensive workshop to empower and elevate women's friendships. We are marketing to women and femme-identified adults who are seeking more supportive friendships or feel that their current relationships are not mutually supportive, mature, or deep. The intensive will help participants identify what barriers exist for them around deep and meaningful friendship and gain tools to practice boundaried vulnerability, assertive communication, and awareness of their needs in relationships. While it is not the primary intention for participants to befriend each other, we will be creating space and safety to allow the women participating to feel heard and less alone in wanting a stronger community or being uncertain about how to form closer bonds. The Eventbrite Link is below and the intensive will be held on Saturday, October 5th from 9:30am-4:00pm.

| 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.
