It's almost here! Come join me for a 4 hour virtual workshop on July 8th from 1-5pmCDT about Understanding Dissociation. You will receive 4 CEs through NBCC and 4 hours through EMDRIA. As part of this workshop you will also get a link to the full version of this 3 minute psychoeducational video about dissociation that can be used with clients. We will dig into the clinical definition of dissociation and expand understanding to include the lived experience of the many forms of dissociation. It's just $95! We will look at the neurological purpose and process of dissociation and its implications for therapy. Based on this expanded understanding we will explore how to work with the many forms of dissociation in therapy and view it as a natural part of healing rather than as an obstacle to overcome. If you’ve ever wondered if there is more to the treatment of dissociation than teaching grounding skills, this workshop will help answer that question. Here is the registration link:
https://app.paythen.co/company/beyondhealing/plan/9ibrd0gw2t
Learning objectives:
Define dissociation as a natural mechanism of suppression and repression used by every human to manage the flow of information and experience through the body.
Conceptualize dissociation in clinical presentations as an essential survival mechanism that can be partnered with rather than an obstacle to overcome.
Explore the spectrum of dissociation from normal everyday experiences to Dissociative Identity Disorder and identify some treatment modifications for different presentations.

For those of you who have completed SIP I, I’m thrilled to invite you to the SIP Integration Group - a 9 month consultation group focused specifically on the digestion and application of what you learned in the 3 day SIP training.

We have gotten a lot of feedback that more opportunity for slow integration of material is needed to really bring the power of SIP into your practice. This group will focus on building your confidence with the process of applying the concepts. We have been working hard to make tools for you such as a SIP Progress Note template, History Taking Worksheets, handouts you can use in session with your clients for psychoeduction, and more. For those of you that took SIP a while ago you will get the updates that have been added recently.

SIP is best integrated through discussion so we will do exactly that. This will be an hour-long lunch time conversation once a month for 9 months to aide in the digestive and integrative process through community, repeat exposure, and a chance to get questions answered.

When dreaming of this offering I wanted to make sure that it was easy to access and highly practical! The calls will be recorded so you can listen in if you have to miss one or re-listen if you want to.

SIP is a powerful tool, but I don’t want you to feel alone in implementing it into real life!

Join me for the next nine months as we sink deeper into SIP as it’s meant to be experienced…in community with others.

All calls will happen over zoom from 12pm-1pmCDT on the following dates:

Integrated Theoretical Framework: Experience a unique synthesis of developmental lifespan theory, internal family systems (IFS), ego state theory, and structural dissociation, presented in a non-linear developmental timeline. This approach offers a comprehensive understanding of the fragmented self and pathways to healing.

Visual & Intersubjective Tools: Utilize visual illustrations to conceptualize dissociation and ego fragmentation, while intersubjectivity principles enhance your ability to understand and navigate the therapeutic relationship. These tools aim to deepen therapeutic bonds, foster connection in treatment approaches, and deshame the trauma recovery process.
