You will be hard-pressed to find a client in therapy that does not deal with anxiety, and we all know the rate of people going to therapy for trauma treatment has been significant for some time.
Then, we have neurodivergent people who have steadily activated nervous systems we often diagnose as anxiety disorders, especially social anxiety.
In any case, the results of dysregulation can be destabilizing, making people feel as if they are under threat, which could lead to relational issues or cause them to miss out on their lives.
But what if it didn’t have to be this way?
With advances in our understanding of modern neuroscience and within the framework of Interpersonal Neurobiology, we now recognize that there are two major neural pathways to nervous system activation, each indicating a different type of threat. The key is to learn to detect the type of activation occurring and to respond appropriately to each.
In this session, you will learn the science behind these two paths to dysregulation and an easy method to help show clients so they, too, can choose the right set of responses to whatever “present moment” situation they find themselves in, resulting in more effective responses and less overall fear and activation.
Imagine! A reduction in general, separation, and social anxiety! Improved outcomes in trauma when it’s not exacerbated by ongoing fear responses. If you want to contribute to these outcomes, this will be an hour well spent!
WORKSHOP OBJECTIVES:

Identify and describe the neuro-biological systems involved in nervous system dysregulation
Explain the two paths to activation, why they occur, and the appropriate responses to each
Apply a method to help clients tell the difference between the two paths so they have more buy-in for doing the work of self-regulation

Workshop Description:
Both Internal Family Systems (IFS) and the Enneagram have been used to gather people eager to understand and work with troubling thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and to do so on a deeper level than “Talk Therapy” alone.
In this continuing education workshop, we will explore how both schools of thought intersect to inspire harmony of mind-body-emotion in our clients and ourselves.
After attending this workshop, you’ll be on your way to understanding the basics of the Enneagram as a Wisdom Tradition and the fundamentals of IFS as a psychotherapeutic model (developed in the 1990s).
You’ll see that both schools of thought work to map out parts or sub-personalities within us—each with its own thoughts, motivations, and behaviors eager for transformation. For instance, with the Enneagram, there are “three centers of intelligence,” and in IFS, there are three categories of parts: managers, firefighters, and exiles. Meeting and interviewing these parts has the power to foster freedom from old ideas of self and others.
Returning to what Enneagram calls our essence or “higher self” and leaning into what IFS calls “Self-Energy” will be explored. Tripartite awareness practices will be shared.
The Enneagram is a personality typing test with nine distinct types of people. Like parts, each type has its own core fears, desires, and motivations. When translated, this symbol offers a psychospiritual model for growth that can be used by health professionals, coaches, and spiritual directors to gain self-awareness about patterns in clients’ (and our own) relationships.
Both the Enneagram and IFS methods can give us valuable insights into why our clients do the things they do and how to unmask and transform harmful behaviors in a curious, compassionate, and nonjudgmental way.
Whether you’re looking to understand yourself better as a helping professional, strengthen your skills with your clients, or cultivate growth through tri-partite awareness (mind-body-heart) work, both models provide tools that will deepen insights and help you along the way.
WORKSHOP OBJECTIVES:
By the end of the workshop, you’ll be able to assist your clients in finding an integrative approach on their path to healing by first:

Identify the general healing frameworks of Enneagram Wisdom and Internal Family Systems
Use Enneagram Wisdom as a method for “mapping” our IFS parts
Distinguish the systemic origins of one’s EnneaStyle (an intersectional approach)
Uncover how to work with your clients’ (and your own) disowned “parts”
Gain insight into how EnneaStyles and IFS parts can evolve with compassionate curiosity
Build a bridge from your preferred therapeutic models to your newfound Ennea and IFS Insights

Youth and Adult Suicide: Recognition, Assessment, and Treatment of Suicidality

This workshop meets the Washington State suicide assessment requirements for re-licensure. The Washington State Department of Health has approved this 6-hour workshop for its 2022 Model List. This workshop also satisfies the continuing education requirements set by the Department of Health related to suicide assessment, management, and treatment.
Historically, mental health treatment for suicidal individuals has involved extensive psychopharmacology, repeated cognitive behavioral therapy, positive psychology methods, stress reduction exercises, and/or deep therapy into family-of-origin issues, all proven individually insufficient for the long-term prevention of suicide and suicidality.
The World Health Organization (2019) reported decreasing trends in suicide mortality in most countries across the world. Unfortunately, the mortality of suicide showed an increasing trend in the United States. Between 2000 and 2018, the suicide rate skyrocketed, increasing by a whopping 35% (CDC, 2020). Interestingly, during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic, between 2020 and 2021, there was a decrease in suicide rates. This was short-lived, unfortunately, as suicide rates began to increase again by 2% in 2022 (CDC, 2022).
What can we do? As clinicians, we need to understand there are many roads to suicidality — each usually requiring individual intervention.
This workshop presents original concepts in the development of suicidality as an ingenious coping mechanism that develops over time. The brain’s neuroplasticity forms neural pathways that underpin the reinforcing suicidal thought pattern. Brain retraining provides the formation of new healthy neural pathways. The healing process is directed, encouraged, and supported through a specifically designed peer protocol based on existing evidence-based social support.
Research shows that the first suicide attempt is often the first time anyone intervenes. However, it is generally not the first time the danger has been known. Loved ones just don’t know what to do. They take the suicidal individual to a hospital or professional where the treatment protocol has not changed for decades. When the suicidal individual comes home after the attempt, family and friends don’t know how to help prevent the next one. The Jensen Suicide Peer Protocol (JSP3), based on evidence-based principles, is a prescribed method for the family members and concerned others to take an active part in the recovery of their loved one. Randi has used this method for decades and has saved lives.
OBJECTIVES:
• Describe the extent of suicide in the general and special populations, including children, adolescents, and military personnel.
• Distinguish what suicidality is and the difference between self-harm and suicidality
• Explain the psychobiology of suicidality and its progression
• Articulate warning signs and symptoms using simple and effective suicide assessment tools
• Express and practice Motivational Interviewing techniques used in counseling suicidal individuals
• Explain a life-saving peer support protocol and how to implement it
• Describe ethical considerations, documentation, and confidentiality issues.
The Washington State Department of Health has approved this 6-hour workshop for its 2022 Model List. This workshop also satisfies the continuing education requirements set by the Department of Health related to suicide assessment, management, and treatment.
Randi consistently receives excellent evaluations from attendees of her workshops. Here are just a few quotes from past attendees:
* “I took a different class about suicide a few months back. It was so heavy with content and so focused on how to cross every “T” and dot every “I” that I actually left more anxious about treating suicidal clients than before. In contrast, Randi’s workshop gave me a broader general understanding and a way to connect the clinical skills I already have to the treatment of these clients. I feel much more confident and competent working with suicidal clients now.”
* “Ms. Jensen is an extremely competent clinician and presenter. Over my 30+ career in mental health work, this is one of the very best workshops I have attended. Thank you, Cascadia and Randi!”
* “This is the most impactful continuing education class I’ve ever taken!”
