Being Present: Including the Nervous System in Therapy
Crystal Hines, LPC, RYT, RCYT, EMDR Trained
Erin Linehan, LPC, EMDR Certified & Consultant in Training, HTP
This webinar is designed for mental health therapists who are either new to the field, or want to deepen their understanding of how our nervous systems influence the therapeutic work we provide to our clients.
As therapists, most of us have an innate ability to sense how other people are feeling and are very good at reading other people. Naturally empathetic, we can often take on the emotions and struggles that our clients are experiencing and we are left feeling drained and overwhelmed.
At this webinar you will learn the basics of our nervous system regulation responses, clarify language and specifics around what is happening energetically in the therapy room, practice easy to use tools to help you and your clients regulate, and learn how to authentically connect with your clients while keeping yourself safe.

Treating Complex PTSD and Dissociation with Integrative EMDR Therapy: A Resilience Informed Approach
Arielle Schwartz, PhD
Complex PTSD occurs as a result of long-term exposure to traumatic stress rather than in response to a single incident and typically arises as a result of repeated traumatic events that occur during childhood. Growing up afraid has ramifications on cognitive, emotional, and physical development that persist into adulthood until one has sufficient support to heal. This is not a character weakness; it is a learned stress disorder. You can help your clients reclaim their lives from the costs of childhood trauma by deepening self-acceptance and reducing the shame that often accompanies developmental wounds. In this presentation, you will develop a greater understanding of Complex PTSD and discover ways to mitigate its effects through Resilience Informed Therapy, which applies research on trauma recovery to form a strength-based, trauma treatment model that includes EMDR Therapy, Somatic Psychology, and time-tested relational psychotherapy. We will explore the existential issues that can arise for clinicians when working with dissociative clients.
