Available Trainings
Reprocessing
Theory®:
Helping the WHOLE Person versus the HOLE in the Person
Session Length Options: 3 hour, or 6 hour, or 9 hour, or 12 hour
Presentation Type: Didactic 50% and Interactive 50%
Audience: Helping Professionals
Description: This is an interactive workshop geared to assist psychotherapist and other helping
professionals at any level of knowledge and experience to explain and use
neuro-scientific knowledge to guide an effect match between appropriate
psychotherapeutic interventions with a client’s holistic needs. This
training is designed to provide a concrete systematic understand of how the
brain processes information and how threat affects development in human beings. These neuro-scientific tenets of Reprocessing
theory® are the result of a meta-analysis of the current knowledge of
neuro-anatomy, neurophysiology, and neurochemistry of the human condition. Then the neuroscience is applied to
assessment of individual pathology.
Finally, the tenets of Reprocessing Theory® are then translated into
practical application of multi-sensory interventions, incorporating activation
of the entire brain. These
practical/interactive interventions support holistic care in assisting
comprehensive human change.
Training Objectives:
- Increase knowledge of the neuro-scientific tenets of
Reprocessing Theory®,
- Gain the ability to use Reprocessing Theory® to
assess the treatment needs of clients
- Practice
multi-sensory interventions to promote comprehensive and holistic brain
activation
- Synthesize traditional theories of psychotherapy with
Reprocessing Theory®.
The Neuroscience of Assessment and Treatment of Co-Occurring Disorders
Session Length Options: 3 hour, or 6 hour, or 9 hour, or 12 hour
Presentation Type: Didactic 50% and Interactive 50%
Audience: Helping Professionals working with Addictions, Mental Health, and/or Co-Occurring Disorders
Description: The Neuroscience of Assessment and Treatment of Co-Occurring Disorders (COD) is designed to provide a concrete systematic understand of how the brain processes information and how threat affects development in human beings. Then the neuroscience is applied to assessment of individual presenting with Co-Occurring Disorders synthesized with the SAMHSA standards of Care for CODs. Further, evidence-based interventions and techniques for CODs are presented, demonstrated, and applied using role-plays and group activities
Training Objectives:
- Be able to explain “why” a client has COD issues in aconcrete way
- Gain skills to accurately assess and match clients to the most effective treatment
- Established a foundational understanding of how to treatmentCODs
- Use the foundational treatment tenets through practicalapplication
Brain Freeze: The Neurophysiology of the Developing Brain and How to “De-frost” It
Session Length Options: 3 hour, or 6 hour, or 9 hour, or 12 hour
Presentation Type: Didactic 50% and Interactive 50%
Audience: Helping Professionals working with Adolescents
Description: Brain Freeze is designed to demystify the relationships between brain physiology, memory, and behavior. It is necessary for clinicians working with adolescents to be more impactful with rapid interventions due to social, cultural, and managed care pressures. Brain Freeze provides a clear user-friendly model for assessing maladaptive brain physiology and memories and provides theory based treatments to assist a clinician in more effectively promoting change in the adolescent client and their families or origin and/or choice. Specific attention will be given to addictive/compulsive/habitual behaviors.
Training Objectives:
- Gain a practical understanding of how the human systemsstore memory
- Gain an usable frame work to assess a client’s brainphysiology
- Gain an increase ability to more accurately assign effectivetreatment
- Gain multi-sensory interventions which can more rapidly aid adolescents to change
EMDR Theory Exists: An Explanation of Neurophysiological Underpinnings
Session Length Options: 90 min, or 3 hour, or 6 hour
Presentation Type: Didactic 50% and Interactive 50%
Audience: Helping Professionals trained in EMDR (Level 1& 2)
Description: EMDR Theory Exists is designed to provide a peer reviewed explanation of the neurophysiological underpinnings of the AIP model. Through educating practitioners on the links between bilateral stimulation and the brain, one’s ability to describe EDMR to consumers increases. The brain mechanisms impacted by bilateral stimulation move memories into a stage in which a human naturally heals. These neurophysiological underpinnings are illustrated through synthesis with a complex case of childhood ritual abuse. Participants will be furnished the opportunity to practice applying these underpinnings to cases and improve their ability to explain EMDR’s potential impact on a consumer.
Training Objectives:
- Identify the components of the brain linked to Adaptive Information Processing
- Describe the neurophysiology of how stimuli are processed through memory networks
- Apply neurophysiology and Adaptive Information Processing to a case study
- Describehow experiences are stored and manifest in a person
The Life-style Assessment of Adlerian Psychology: How To!
Session Length Options: 90 min, or 3 hour, or 6 hour
Presentation Type: Didactic 50% and Interactive 50%
Audience: Helping Professionals working with Adults
Description: The Life-Style Assessments workshop is designed to provide participants with a historical and practical understanding of the Adlerian Lifestyle Assessment. The Lifestyle Assessment is foundational for using Individual Psychology. The components of a lifestyle: life tasks, family constellation, and early recollections are pivotal in discovering a client’s private logical and guiding fictions. By using the Lifestyle Assessment a clinician will gain a more comprehensive picture of how and why a client does what (s)he does. The Adlerian tenet that “all behavior is purposeful” is supported with the lifestyle. By the end of the training, the participants will have gained the basic knowledge and some practice needed to complete a lifestyle assessment with their clients.
Training Objectives:
- To define the basic tenets of Adlerian Individual Psychology
- To understand the history of the Lifestyle Assessment
- To understand the components of using the LifestyleAssessment
- To gain the skills to use the Lifestyle Assessment for diagnosis and treatment planning
Parenting and Communicating Effectively (PACE)
Session Length Options: 90 min, or 3 hour, or 6 hour
Presentation Type: Didactic 25% and Interactive 75%
Audience: Parents and Helping Professionals
Description: PACE is designed to combine effective parenting education with instruction on effective communication skills. Participants gain assistance in the practical application of these skills. All participants will learn how to identify the possible internal sources of conflict; the covert effects conflict has on their lives; and multiple approaches to addressing conflict effectively without a lingering feeling of inadequacy or defeat. Participants will also gain an enhanced knowledge of their own conflict style and an understanding of what this style is teaching their children. In addition, instruction on child development; purposes for youth misbehavior; and effective approaches on how to positively affect the development of a child. Practical application is a key element of this training.
Training Objectives:
- Learn how to identify the possible internal sources of conflict
- Gain multiple approaches to addressing conflict effectively without a lingering feeling of inadequacy or defeat
