<title><![CDATA[Dream Practice Process Group with Robyn Chauvin, MA,LPC]]></title>

<description><![CDATA[Dreams can serve as a catalyst to psychological change. They help us directly approach core issues by bypassing ego defenses and structures. Fritz Perls, one of the founders of Gestalt Therapy, claimed that “ dreams are an existential message”. What he meant was that dreams communicate to us in a nonlinear form about the nature of our existence.<br />
The exploration of dreams can be a playful vehicle for transformation. A dream group has the advantage of amplifying your communication with dreams through consistent contact with your own dreams and the dreams of other group members. Often the dreams of others become part of the language of our own dreams, resulting in a deepening of relationships between group members.<br />
The approach used in this group is derived from Applied Existential Psychotherapy (AEP), the method developed and taught at the Boulder Psychotherapy Institute. Instead of interpreting and analyzing your dreams, you will play the dream’s characters (every person and thing in the dream) as a way of allowing the dream to communicate its existential message. The basic assumption is that “every part of a dream is you.” And the dream is a vital communication from you to you. The ability to hear that communication becomes amplified and expanded in a dream group.<br />
We will meet on the first Saturday of each month from 10am Mountain Time until 1pm, starting in March. Please feel free to contact Robyn for further information. Her email is Robyn3899@gmail.com, or you may text her at 720 841 1836. Any phone calls must be made through either the WhatsApp or Signal apps.<br />
This is a practice process group. You will also have the opportunity to explore the dreams of other group members while being coached by the group facilitator. You will learn how to facilitate dream exploration from an AEP perspective. You can receive credit toward AEP certification for the Dream Class after 48 hours of attendance.<br />
Cost for each three hour session is $90. There is a four-session initial commitment. The group meets once a month and begins on 05/03/2026 You may receive a 10% discount by paying for all 10 groups a year in advance.<br />
Robyn Chauvin, MA, LPC is a trainer at the Boulder Psychotherapy Institute. She is trained in Applied Existential Psychotherapy (AEP), Gestalt, Psychodrama, and the Bonny Method of Guided Imagery in Music. She is familiar with Jungian as well as AEP and Gestalt approaches to dreams. She has over 30 years experience in hospice, inpatient psychiatric work and private practice psychotherapy working with individuals, couples and groups. She teaches classes and supervises students at BPI.<br /><br /><strong>Name:</strong> Robyn Chauvin<br /><strong>Email:</strong> <a href="mailto:robyn3899@gmail.com">robyn3899@gmail.com</a>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Announcing 13 CE’s via Elevated Life Academy and NBCC & ASWB ACE for the Brainspotting Attachment Specialty Workshop ONLINE Friday and Saturday, April 10 & 11, 2026. The early bird rate ends March 20th.<br />
<br />
The two-day Workshop gives you the opportunity to hold space for a partner and to process whatever is going on for you in your life right now. Sometimes love is threatening to the nervous system. The exercises and visualizations in this Workshop help to build the neural networks to sustain attachment and joy.<br />
<br />
Based on my groups, the Workshop is experiential, informative and insightful. When it comes to complex trauma, psychoeducation is so important as we attune and establish and hold the client’s frame. Clients benefit from understanding that C-PTSD is real. Clients with the mother wound and other parental trauma issues struggle with relationships, isolation, perfectionism, compulsions and other symptoms. <br />

<description><![CDATA[Brainspotting Phase 2<br />
Seminar Overview<br />
This 3-day, in person Brainspotting Phase 2 training will begin with an extensive review of Outside and Inside Window Brainspotting and Gazespotting, with an emphasis on how to clinically interact with clients.<br />
<br />
Trainees will be introduced to several important applications. This includes One-Eye Brainspotting including the use of One-Eye goggles. Also taught is 3 Dimensional Brainspotting using the “Z-Axis” of Brainspotting close and far; this includes Vergence Therapy which expands the Z-Axis to activate the vagus nerve through the ocularcardiac reflex.<br />
<br />
Additional technical refinements will be presented including “Rolling Brainspotting,” with slow eye tracking stopping briefly on each Brainspot.<br />
<br />
Advanced techniques will also include combined Inside-Outside Brainspotting where both reflexive responses and client sense of highest activation are used together to find Brainspots.<br />
<br />
Day 3 will be devoted to the second level of the Advanced Resource Model. This will entail combining the resource aspects of One-Eye and Z-Axis Brainspotting. This addresses working with clients with Very Complex PTSD and those outside of the Brainspotting Window of Tolerance.<br />
<br />
Techniques taught with PowerPoint lecture, discussion with Q & A, demonstrations and practicums.<br />
<br />
Trainings are open to all counselors, psychologists, social workers and others in the healing professions with strong clinical backgrounds, as well as students/interns in the mental health field who seek to expand their knowledge.<br />
<br />
“This online training offers a comfortable and accessible opportunity to learn Brainspotting tools that will be immediately applicable to clients, with Melanie embodying the qualities of presence, spaciousness, attunement, and trust that serve as the core of the Brainspotting model.”<br />
<br />
“Thank you for allowing me the space to process and explore. This training was rewarding and powerful.” C.R.<br />
<br />
“I love the Phase 2 training. I started using the one-eye and z-axis right away. I also had a client be ‘wow’d’ by how her emotions changed as I moved the pointer. I love the new tools!” J.C.<br />
<br />
Learning Objectives <br />
Participants of this intermediate level course will be able to:<br />
<br />
Summarize the research on client-therapist attunement in in-person and online psychotherapy sessions.<br />
Set and utilize the dual attunement frame.<br />
Explain the way in which bilateral auditory stimulation may enhance processing during Brainspotting.<br />
Explain the role of the allocortex and the agranular isocortex in Brainspotting.<br />
Describe the oculocardio reflex and its relationship to the vagus nerve of the parasympathetic nervous system.<br />
Demonstrate a basic mastery of the z-axis and vergence therapy techniques.<br />
Explain how the one-eye Brainspotting technique can focus and enhance processing of trauma-related experiences.<br />
Demonstrate a basic mastery of the use of the one-eye Brainspotting technique.<br />
Demonstrate a basic mastery of the use of the rolling Brainspotting technique.<br />
Demonstrate a basic mastery of the use of the advanced outside window Brainspotting technique.<br />

<description><![CDATA[We are all here for a reason; we each have unique gifts that are designed to help us to live our purpose in the world. The core of these gifts is what is known as your “Soul Medicine.” And your Medicine is needed on the planet - perhaps now more than ever before!<br />
So, we’ve put together a webinar to support you in coming into relationship with your innermost essence, to give you a taste of how to identify your Soul Medicine, and to experience first-hand, the power of being seen–and of learning to see yourself in a different light.<br />
What You Will Get:<br />
Understand WHAT Medicine is, and WHY it is so important. <br />
Meet and Dialogue with Your Soul Medicine: Learn how to come into contact with your Medicine, to begin to know what it is, and to understand it more fully..<br />
Deepen Trust in Yourself and in Knowing Your Way: Gain insights into trusting your inner voice and intuition, empowering you to more clearly see,value, and live your own unique gifts in the world. <br />
Clarify Specific Next Steps in Living Your Medicine: Identify how you most want to be of service at this time, and the specific steps you’ll take to practice being more fully YOU.  <br />
What You Won’t Get:<br />
This webinar isn’t about collecting new skills or techniques, nor is it an intellectual or academic exercise. This work requires an inner journey toward self-discovery, trust, and awakening so that we can bring forth the truth of who we really are.  <br />
About your facilitators<br />

Anne-Marie Chmielewski is a nature-based chaplain and Somatic Nature Therapy Institute Clinical Pastoral Education intern. Her work is rooted in embodied presence, deep listening, and a love for the sacred cycles of land and season. As a nature-based chaplain, her role is to support you in exploring questions of meaning, purpose, identity, values, and belonging—especially as they arise through your relationship with the natural world. Anne-Marie offers a grounded, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where you can reflect on your spiritual and existential journey, including your connection to land, place, ancestors, seasons, and the more-than-human world.<br />
Austin Balfany believes healing unfolds through connection—to self, to community, to lineage, and to the living world that holds us. His work is rooted in the understanding that the body carries its own wisdom, that emotion is a form of intelligence, and that healing happens as we tend the places where connection and disconnection live within us.<br />
Austin integrates somatic awareness, mindfulness, wilderness therapy, experiential and parts-based approaches, and brings a trauma-informed, LGBTQ+ affirming lens to his work. Drawing on years of guiding youth and families in wilderness settings, Austin is passionate about weaving queer resilience, rites of passage, and embodied connection into therapeutic spaces. He believes choice is an act of empowerment—and that joy is a brilliant, radical force.<br /><br /><strong>Name:</strong> Katie Asmus<br /><strong>Email:</strong> <a href="mailto:info@somaticnaturetherapy.com">info@somaticnaturetherapy.com</a>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Calling in 6-8 women for this explorative therapeutic container. <br />
<br />
If you are craving a deeper understanding of your inner world… <br />
If you are tired of surface-level connection… <br />
If you want to explore a more intuitive experience of the present moment… <br />
<br />
Then this group may be for you!<br />
<br />
Some of the “parts” we may invite a focus on would be the people pleaser, the inner critic, the self-doubter, the masker, the hypervigilant one, and the judge. <br />
<br />
“Parts work” is a therapeutic modality that will be used as a strong influencing framework of how you will be invited into a deeper relationship with your inner world and with one another. Somatic Experiencing and tracking the felt sense in the present moment will also be lightly woven in. The invitation from these frameworks is to approach oneself with curiosity and a non-judgmental lens. <br />
<br />
Time: 4:30pm-6pm Tuesdays or 12-1:30pm Wednesdays<br />

CODA & CODEPENDENCY DESCRIPTION: <br />
If you're not familiar with it, codependency often arises when helping another individual. It involves a tendency to neglect one's own emotions and needs as we try to help others. It's a guaranteed risk to anyone in the helping professions. Our boundaries are challenged daily. CODA, ACA and Alanon are hour long, free 12-step meetings for people to help with codependency. CODA, ACA and Alanon are about the same. They were born from problems that people had when they were involved with those with addictions, but extend to those of us who are helpers. In case you are put off by the spiritual orientation of these meetings--they often refer to "Higher Power" or God--know that our meetings will modify that for the comfort of us participants. <br />
<br />
If you've never been to one, you might visit a CODA, ACA or Alanon meeting to see what they're like. You can look them up online. Our format will be modified a bit because as therapists, we've already been exposed to the basic stuff involved. The reason this arose is because I went to meetings and found one of my clients there, which sets up a dual role, unacceptable to me. I couldn't speak my mind with them there. So I wanted to establish a safe place for therapists. The other thing is that we therapists can understand what each other goes through in a way that average participants in the meetings cannot grasp.   Thanks, Charles<br />

<title><![CDATA[From Reactivity to Regulation: A Somatic DBT Group for Emotional Balance]]></title>
<link>https://www.evolveinnature.com/emotional-regulation-group-therapy</link>
<guid isPermaLink="false">BPI-NL-051360-20260310032331</guid>
<pubDate>Tue, 10 Mar 2026 03:23:31 MST</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[This 6-week, in-person therapy group is designed to help adults move from emotional overwhelm or shutdown toward greater balance and embodiment. This 90-minute closed group blends Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emotion regulation skills, mindfulness practices, and a structured somatic framework to support you learn to notice, identify, feel, and regulate your emotions.<br />
When we are not aware of our emotions somatically, they manifest in dysfunctional ways. Depression, anxiety, mania, and dissociation are all ways the brain attempts to manage emotion when you do not know how to notice the sensations of your emotions somatically and express and regulate them in healthy ways.<br />
<br />
Each session includes grounding practices, practical psychoeducation, guided movement-based exercises, and experiential reflection to help participants build emotional awareness and nervous system regulation in real time.<br />
<br />
Is this group for me?<br />
This group is ideal for adults (18+) who feel easily triggered or flooded by emotions, tend to shut down or disconnect when emotions arise, or find themselves intellectualizing feelings without fully experiencing them in their body. It is especially helpful for individuals seeking to build greater emotional awareness, tolerance, reduce reactivity, and stay present during emotional challenges. All genders, races, ethnicities, and identities are welcome.<br />
This group may not be appropriate for individuals experiencing active suicidal intent, acute crisis, or active substance dependence requiring higher levels of care.<br />
<br />
What to Expect:<br />
Over six weeks, participants can expect to develop increased emotional awareness, improved nervous system regulation, and a greater capacity to experience authentic emotions without becoming overwhelmed or shut down. Through arousal tracking, gentle movement, guided reflection, and practical take-home exercises, members will learn to stay with sensations without escalating into distress, identify emotions, apply DBT skills to real-life situations, learn how to feel and process emotions in healthy ways, and strengthen present-moment awareness.<br />
Participants leave each session with simple daily practices to support continued growth between meetings, building skills that enhance emotional balance, self-connection, and interpersonal relationships. <br />
<br />
Commitment:<br />
Starting on March 25th, we will meet weekly on Wednesday for 6 weeks from 6:00pm-7:30pm.  This is a closed-group (no drop-ins).<br />
Investment: Cost $180 ($30 per session), sliding scale options available<br />
Led by: This group is led by psychotherapist Noel Estopinal, MA, LPCC. She is passionate about supporting folks to identify and regulate emotions in healthy ways that foster self-trust, greater ease in living, and improved relationships<br />
Dates: March 25, 2026 - April 29, 2026<br />
Location: Boulder, CO (exact location provided upon registration)<br /><br /><strong>Name:</strong> Noel Estopinal MA. LPCC<br /><strong>Email:</strong> <a href="mailto:noel@evolveinnature.com">noel@evolveinnature.com</a>]]></description>

Depression, anxiety, mania, and dissociation are all ways the brain attempts to manage emotion when you do not know how to notice the sensations of your emotions somatically and express and regulate them in healthy ways.<br />
Each session includes grounding practices, practical psychoeducation, guided movement-based exercises, and experiential reflection to help participants build emotional awareness and nervous system regulation in real time.<br />
<br />
Is this group for me?<br />
This group is ideal for adults (18+) who feel easily triggered or flooded by emotions, tend to shut down or disconnect when emotions arise, or find themselves intellectualizing feelings without fully experiencing them in their body. It is especially helpful for individuals seeking to build greater emotional awareness, tolerance, reduce reactivity, and stay present during emotional challenges. All genders, races, ethnicities, and identities are welcome.<br />
This group may not be appropriate for individuals experiencing active suicidal intent, acute crisis, or active substance dependence requiring higher levels of care.<br />
<br />
What to Expect:<br />
Over six weeks, participants can expect to develop increased emotional awareness, improved nervous system regulation, and a greater capacity to experience authentic emotions without becoming overwhelmed or shut down. Through arousal tracking, gentle movement, guided reflection, and practical take-home exercises, members will learn to stay with sensations without escalating into distress, identify emotions, apply DBT skills to real-life situations, learn how to feel and process emotions in healthy ways, and strengthen present-moment awareness.<br />
Participants leave each session with simple daily practices to support continued growth between meetings, building skills that enhance emotional balance, self-connection, and interpersonal relationships. <br />
<br />
Commitment:<br />
Starting on March 25th, we will meet weekly on Wednesday for 6 weeks from 6:00pm-7:30pm.  This is a closed-group (no drop-ins).<br />
Investment: Cost $180 ($30 per session), sliding scale options available<br />
