SUMMARY:🆕 BRAND-NEW! After Hours with Cascadia: Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) Tapping for Clinicians 🆕
DESCRIPTION:BRAND-NEW!\nLaw & Ethics Continuing Education Credits (CEs)\nAfter Hours with Cascadia: EFT Tapping for Clinicians\nPresented by: Shelley White\, MA\, LMHC\nWhen: Tuesday\, October 6th\, 2026 | 6:00 PM – 8:00 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 CEs): 2 Law & Ethics CEs | $50.00\nContinuing Education Workshop Description\nEmotion Freedom Techniques (EFT) – also known as EFT Tapping –has become a widely accepted\, effective\, evidence-based strategy to reduce emotional distress and increase physical well-being. Many prominent therapists and psychologists\, including trauma expert Bessel van der Kolk\, use a form of tapping with their clients\, and now you can too. \nEFT Tapping is a technique based on the same science as acupuncture. Since its inception in the late 1980s\, more than 200 research studies supporting its effectiveness have been published. Studies show that Tapping can reduce activity in the amygdala\, up-regulate immune genes\, down-regulate inflammation genes\, increase endorphin release\, and decrease cortisol levels in a very short period of time. Tapping has been shown to increase test scores\, manage phobias\, and reduce pain. Tapping helps with trauma symptoms by safely releasing emotional numbing\, calming fears of vulnerability and connection\, reducing the need to be perfect\, and quieting shame. This workshop provides you with the introductory skills you need to start using basic tapping techniques and to teach your clients immediately.  \nIn addition to learning how to help clients with this evidence-based intervention\, attendees will also learn how to include Tapping as a technique in their own self-care toolkit. Listening to our clients’ fears\, stress\, anxiety\, and pain can affect our ability to stay calm\, centered\, and peaceful in our own lives. Our self-care is crucial to our ability to offer quality care to our clients. Tapping can help you stay focused and present for your clients and release any intense energy you may be holding after a therapeutic session. \nContinuing Education Workshop Objectives\nAfter attending this workshop\, attendees will: \n1. Comprehend that self-care adds to their clinical competency and adheres to the ethical mandate to include self-care in their daily lives to avoid impairment in functioning (NASW\, 2021; ACA\, 2014; APA\, 2019). \n2. Learn how to introduce Tapping into the therapeutic setting\, communicating with clients about the purpose and use of EFT/Tapping in ways that are both developmentally and culturally appropriate\, aligning with the ethical imperative of informed consent. (NASW\, 2021\, 1.03\, 1/05; ACA\, 1.03\, 2014.) \n3. Understand that EFT Tapping is an evidence-based intervention and be able to discuss positive outcomes from using tapping to increase calm and reduce anxiety\, to improve concentration\, and decrease high blood pressure. EFT Tapping can be used for both sensory/physical and emotional self-regulation. \n4. Learn that EFT/Tapping ensures the ethical principles of client autonomy and client self-determination by offering an easy-to-use\, effective\, ethical\, and evidence-based technique clients can learn and use on their own to manage physical and/or emotional symptoms (AAMFT\, 1.1.8\, 2015; NASW\, 1.02\, 1.03\, 2021; ACA\, 2014\, 1.; APA\, 2019). \n5. Demonstrate their ethical compliance with the ethical and legal standards that mental health practitioners work toward competency when introducing a new treatment or clinical skill. (ACA\, 2014; NASW\, 2019; AAMFT\, 1.1.2\, 2015). \n6. Understand how to explain EFT/Tapping in clear and understandable language to their clients\, demonstrating their adherence to ethical standards when introducing a new clinical tool or technique. (ACA\, 2014\, A. 2.d). \nREGISTER HERE\n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:A Lifetime of Loss: Integrating Heartache and Grief in Adult & Pediatric Clients
DESCRIPTION:A Lifetime of Loss: Integrating Heartache and Grief in Adult & Pediatric Clients\nPresented by: Kristie Baber\, MSW\, LICSW\, CCTP\nWhen: Thursday\, October 8th\, 2026 | 9:00 am – 4:30 pm Pacific Time\nWhere: Live on Zoom. You will receive your Zoom link/invitation the week of the event.\nContinuing Education Credit Hours (NBCC and NASW-WA Approved): 6 CEs | $190.00 \nFrom floating goldfish to the truncated relationships of divorce and foster care\, losses start early for us. This continuing education workshop will explore the universal experience of grief – the process that attempts to recover meaning following a loss (Brown\, 2021) – and the myriad ways in which it can go awry. \nThe wounds of childhood compound as we age and inevitably experience further losses\, each echoing the initial pain. In a realistic and lighthearted way\, we will address the reality of impermanence and our lifelong effort to adjust. From treating acute grief in childhood to the manifestation of unresolved loss in our adult clients\, this class will explore the ways therapists can help integrate the hurts of a lifetime. \nThis class 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 clinical examples & video illustrations\, as well as individual/group case exercises. \nWORKSHOP OBJECTIVES:\n\nHonoring the complexity of human relationships and experiences\, recognize that death is only one manifestation of the loss people endure.\nUnderstand the neuropsychological basis for traumatic loss experiences in childhood persisting throughout the lifespan into adulthood and affecting our clients long after the event occurred.\nIdentify prolonged grief disorder (a.k.a. complicated grief or traumatic grief) as well as symbolic loss\, disenfranchised grief\, and ambiguous loss.\nRecognize how children’s\, tweens’ & teens’ understanding of death and reaction to loss differs from the presentation of adults; as well as interpret behavioral patterns at different developmental stages.\nImplement therapeutic interventions for adults\, including Worden’s TEAR model and Shear’s HEALING milestones.\nEstablish a treatment plan for clients experiencing grief & loss and explore developmentally appropriate therapeutic tools and activities.\nAccess provided references and resources for further study.\n\nREGISTER HERE\n  \n  \n
