SUMMARY:🆕 BRAND-NEW! Pleasure in the Treatment Room 🆕
DESCRIPTION:Brand-New!\nMeets Law & Ethics\, Health Equity\, Cultural Competence\, and/or Professional Roles & Boundaries Continuing Education Requirements!\nPleasure in the Treatment Room\nPresented by Rebecca Bloom\, LMHC (she/her)\nWhen: Friday\, October 9th\, 2026 | 9:00 am – 4:30 pm Pacific Time\nWhere: Live on Zoom. You will receive your Zoom link/invitation the week of the workshop.\nContinuing Education Credit Hours (NBCC and NASW-WA Approved): 6 CEs (meets criteria for 2 Law & Ethics\, 3 Health Equity or Cultural Competence CEs\, and/or 2 Professional Roles & Boundaries CEs) | Cost: $199.00\nContinuing Education Workshop Description:\nHow do we talk about pleasure in the treatment room? Do you feel comfortable talking with your clients about intimacy? How do we talk about what we desire and what we want to say “No” to? In this 6-CE continuing education workshop\, we will explore all of this and more — using the most current research and writings on Sex Therapy as the foundation for the workshop. \nOver the past twenty-five years\, Rebecca’s clinical work has centered on helping adult survivors of complex trauma reclaim safety\, agency\, and connection after profound experiences of betrayal and harm. Much of this work has involved sitting with the realities of developmental trauma\, attachment wounds\, and the long-lasting effects of abuse perpetrated by trusted individuals. \nAs the presenter begins integrating intimacy and couples counseling more intentionally into my practice\, she has become increasingly aware of how essential conversations about pleasure\, embodiment\, and desire are within trauma treatment. Our clients often learn how to endure\, protect\, and disconnect long before they are given permission to explore what feels good\, nourishing\, or truly wanted—to discover what brings them pleasure. \nRebecca’s theoretical foundation has been strongly informed by post-graduate training and completion of Levels One and Two at the Sensory Psychotherapy Institute. Using this sensory-informed approach during the workshop\, we will explore safe ways for your clients to discuss what their bodies and minds want most—what is pleasurable to them. \nWe will take time to really look at human physiology and how each of our parts work. This approach emphasizes mindfulness\, nervous system awareness\, and the importance of tracking bodily experience as part of healing. \nWhen clients begin to slow down through mindfulness and sense perception\, they often discover that they have limited experience identifying what they genuinely want. By helping clients attend to sensory experiences in the present moment\, therapists can support the development of curiosity\, self-trust\, and emotional regulation. This process creates space for clients to recognize preferences\, boundaries\, pleasure\, and longing in ways that may have previously felt inaccessible or unsafe. \nWe will also explore issues that complicate desire. The most common topics among these that come up in the treatment room include nonmonogamy\, kink\, how our bodies work\, pornography\, family systems and beliefs\, and societal messaging. \nRather than approaching intimacy solely through cognition or narrative processing\, helping clients remain grounded and present in their bodies creates opportunities for deeper self-understanding and relational connection. Embodied awareness can become a pathway not only toward healing trauma\, but also toward cultivating intimacy that feels authentic\, consensual\, and alive. \nContinuing Education Workshop Objectives:\nLearning Goals for “Pleasure in the Treatment Room”: \n\nDefining pleasure and intimacy.\nDiscovering psychosocial aspects of desire\, gender\, and kink.\nUnderstanding medical conditions that impair sexual functioning.\nComprehending common sexual challenges in relationships.\nExploring issues regarding the use of pornography.\nUnderstanding contemporary models for treatment of sexual problems.\n\nREGISTER HERE\n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:🆕 BRAND-NEW! The Relational Dance of Emotional Dependence 🆕
DESCRIPTION:Brand-New!\nMeets Professional Roles & Boundaries CE Requirements!\nThe Relational Dance of Emotional Dependence\nPresented by: Kristie Baber\, MSW\, LICSW\, CCTP\nWhen: Thursday\, October 22nd\, 2026 | 9:30 am – 1:30 pm Pacific Time\nWhere: Live via Zoom. You will receive your Zoom link via email the week of the workshop.\nContinuing Education Credit Hours (NBCC and NASW-WA Approved): 4 CEs\, including 2 Professional Roles & Boundaries CEs | Cost: $109.00\nContinuing Education Workshop Description:\nWe’ve all learned that codependence is a bad word – but what if that is an oversimplification of an otherwise healthy continuum of emotional dependence? \nIn this continuing education workshop\, we will define and understand dependence\, codependence\, and interdependence without fatalism or gaslighting. This training will provide an overview of human attachment and how both our drive for connection and our tolerance for it are established in our early years. \nWith compassion\, we’ll explore the dynamics of overreliance and discuss what codependence actually is (and\, equally important\, what it is not). We’ll also acknowledge the gold standard of interdependence and how to assist clients in developing and repairing relationships to that end. Most relevantly\, we will address treatment planning and provide practical tools to leverage therapeutic change for our clients struggling in relationships – with themselves and others. \nThis continuing education workshop is designed for practicing therapists with clients of all ages. The workshop will be conducted in a Zoom format\, and teaching modalities will include a mix of clinical discussion\, lecture with case examples and video illustrations\, as well as individual exercises. \nContinuing Education Workshop Objectives:\n\nUnderstand attachment patterns and clinical presentations of emotional dependency in friendships\, intimate relationships\, parenting\, and family systems.\nAppreciate interpersonal dependency as a healthy relational system.\nRecognize common client histories and red flags that typify codependency.\nConfront the dynamics of overreliance – vulnerability\, validation\, and interpersonal control.\nConsider establishing healthy boundaries as a key strategy for maintaining identity and addressing unhealthy boundary profiles\, including nonexistent\, weak or poorly expressed\, and rigid boundaries.\nUnderline professional boundaries in our role as therapists with a clinical population that may be struggling in this area.\nProvide strategies for clients to navigate and repair inevitable relational ruptures as well as develop other skills that promote healthy interpersonal dependency.\n\nREGISTER HERE\n  \n  \n
