The Health Anxiety Treatment Guide: ACT and CBT-Based Interventions for Illness Anxiety and Somatic Symptom Disorders - Live Webinar
2022-09-12 06:00 - 14:00 (America/Phoenix)
A nervous awareness of potential illness will continue to lurk on every doorknob and in every crowded room for years to come.
But for many clients, extreme anxieties about their health lead to hours checking their symptoms online, undergoing dozens of unnecessary doctor visits, and doing anything to evade perceived health risks.
And if you can’t help these clients learn to stop fearing death, they’ll continue to avoid life.
But these anxieties can be tricky to recognize and tough to treat. Without the right approach you could fail to spot the problem, lose your client’s trust when you suggest their fears are exaggerated, or even inadvertently reinforce their anxieties.
That’s why health anxiety treatment expert and author Taylor Ham, LMFT created this online training, so you can get the up-to-date skills and clinical tools you need to confidently diagnose and treat these clients and free them from the fears that control their lives.
Packed with case studies, worksheets and practice tips, Taylor will provide you a blueprint for identifying health anxieties that can hide beneath relationship distress, OCD and other presenting issues. PLUS she’ll give you step-by-step instructions on how to use CBT, ACT, and mindfulness-based interventions to make real therapeutic progress and:

Maintain clients’ trust when confronting them about exaggerated symptoms
End reassurance seeking and checking behaviors that can prolong their anxieties
Use exercises to help clients tolerate uncertainty and accept somatic symptoms
Reduce clients’ unhealthy rumination and intrusive thoughts
And much more!

Don’t wait to get the tools you need to break the unhealthy cycle trapping so many of today’s clients.

2022-09-09 07:00 - 15:00 (America/Phoenix)
How many of your clients have sleep issues?
Or maybe the real question is how many of your client don’t?
Where we used to think mental health problems caused insomnia, we now know that the relationship is more circular than casual. Risky and addictive, drugs aren’t the answer. But without addressing sleep issues, and intervening in this vicious cycle, your treatment plans for mental health issues will likely be less effective and yield less successful outcomes.

Whether you work with anxiety, depression, trauma, bipolar or any other disorders, this one-day training will give you the sleep assessment tools and treatment techniques you need to guide clients out of their sleep deprived world so you can improve clinical outcomes.
Attend this training and discover how you can:

Naturally improve sleep in clients without the use of addictive medication
Identify sleep disorders and differentiate them from mental health symptoms
Improve sleep for clients of all ages – from kids to adults
Snap clients out of sleep-depriving habits with behavior changing exercises

Sign up today, and add a new tool to your toolbox to bring greater healing to your clients through the power of sleep!

2022-09-08 05:00 - 2022-09-09 13:00 (America/Phoenix)
When clients don’t realize that there are brain-based reasons for your recommendations of exposure therapy, relaxation techniques, and lifestyle changes, they are less likely to make the changes they need to master their fear and worry.
If you want to be successful at helping your clients manage their anxiety, the amygdala is the most important part of the brain to understand!
Join neuroscience and anxiety expert Catherine M. Pittman, PhD, HSPP, as she guides you through what’s happening in the brain and body when a client has anxiety.
You’ll learn the essential tools and techniques, backed by neuroscience, to teach clients how to use their amygdala as a vehicle to reduce anxiety and worry. Dr. Pittman will provide easy-to-implement, practical applications to therapy that will change your clients’ brain and not simply decrease their anxiety.
You’ll learn how to:

Assess anxiety from a neuroscience perspective
Increase client engagement through brain-based goal setting
Train your client’s amygdala to respond differently to anxiety
Empower clients to recognize anxiety-igniting cognitions from the cortex

Not only will you learn the essential keys for successful anxiety treatment, Dr. Pittman will share tools and exercises from her workbook, Taming Your Amygdala, that you can use with clients.
You don’t have to be a neuroscientist to help your clients understand how their brains work! Register today to help your clients tame their amygdalas!

Internal Family Systems Therapy: Step-by-Step Procedures for Healing Traumatic Wounds and Alleviating Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, Addiction and More - Live Webinar

After decades of clinical innovation and recent scientific research, the empirically validated Internal Family Systems (IFS) model has been shown to be effective at improving clients’ general functioning and well-being. This effective model provides clinicians with procedures for helping clients with the most challenging mental health profiles to heal the wounded, burdened, and traumatized parts of their systems.
The IFS model provides a compassionate, respectful, non-pathologizing approach to understanding the organization and functioning of the human psyche.
The transformative IFS approach embraces and celebrates the natural multiplicity of the mind. Its assumption that every part of the system has good intention and valuable resources allows clinicians to approach even the most troubling of “symptoms” with compassion and respect. IFS offers therapists a powerful and effective set of tools for empowering clients with a wide range of clinical profiles to heal the wounded and burdened parts of their internal systems, resulting in:

a way to enter clients’ inner ecology without the overemphasis on containment and stabilization
symptom reduction and improved functioning for clients
deep self-healing within even the most troubled clients

IFS is a powerful treatment modality. Once you experience it, you will want to incorporate it into your practice.
Through instruction, video demonstration, and experiential exercises, Alexia D. Rothman, Ph.D., Certified IFS therapist and colleague of Dr. Richard Schwartz (founder of IFS) will show you step-by-step how to apply the most effective, empirically validated IFS interventions to help your clients connect with and understand their conflicting parts to facilitate deep, lasting healing.

Are you making the biggest mistake treating your LGBTQ clients? Are you pushing them to “come out”? And if you are…you could be traumatizing your clients.
I made the same mistake early in my career of forcing my clients to name and claim their sexual identity.
I didn’t know how to ask them about their sexual practices. And when I tried, I offended them.
Come to my workshop and I will equip you with the right tools and up-to-date information you need in this rapidly changing population to more effectively counsel your lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning clients, and couples.
You will learn specific strategies to better treat the unique challenges your client may be facing such as:

self-acceptance and internalized homophobia
non hetero-normative sexual behaviors and practices
trauma and abuse from growing up LGBTQ
the difficult process of coming out

Also, let me help you avoid the common mistake of believing, “a couple is a couple” and treating LGBTQ couples the same as their heterosexual counterparts.
Don’t be a therapist that is losing LGBTQ clients because of poor intake, assessment and treatment planning. Learn how to offer your clients a safe place for therapy.
I look forward to meeting you at my workshop!
