DESCRIPTION:Brand-New!\nLunch & Learn: Introduction to Somatic Psychotherapies\nPresented by: Dreya Blume\, LCSW\nWhen: Monday\, August 17th\, 2026 | 12:00 pm – 1:30 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): 1.5 CEs | $25.00\nSomatic psychotherapies rest on the understanding that the body holds important keys to healing trauma\, stress\, and emotional distress. This continuing education workshop will introduce psychotherapists to some of the most widely practiced somatic approaches (including Somatic Experiencing\, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy\, EMDR\, Brainspotting\, Hakomi Method\, and Emotional Freedom Technique). \nParticipants will gain a foundational understanding of how these methods view the mind-body connection\, the role of bodily sensations in emotional regulation\, and the ways somatic awareness can deepen therapeutic work. \nThe goal of this training is to provide a broad overview so clinicians can compare approaches and make informed decisions about which somatic modalities align with their interests\, client needs\, and practice settings. Participants will leave with a clearer map of the somatic therapy landscape and concrete ideas for integrating body-oriented awareness into their current clinical work. \nWorkshop Objectives:\n\nDevelop an understanding of the core principles shared across somatic psychotherapies.\nGain introductory knowledge of several popular approaches (e.g.\, Somatic Experiencing\, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy\, EMDR\, Brainspotting\, EFT).\nCompare and contrast the theoretical foundations\, methods\, and applications of different somatic modalities.\nLearn practical entry-point strategies for incorporating body awareness and regulation techniques into therapy sessions.\n\nREGISTER HERE\n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:🆕 BRAND-NEW! Ethics of Somatic Therapies: Boundaries\, Consent\, and Scope of Practice 🆕
DESCRIPTION:Brand-New!\nMeets Professional Roles & Boundaries or Law & Ethics CE requirements!\nEthics of Somatic Therapies: Boundaries\, Consent\, and Scope of Practice\nPresented by: Dreya Blume\, LCSW\nWhen: Monday\, Septemer 28th\, 2026 | 1:00 pm – 4:00 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): 3 CEs – counts as Professional Roles & Boundaries or Law & Ethics CEs | $99.00\nSomatic therapies are increasingly integrated into psychotherapy as clinicians seek ways to address trauma\, stress\, and emotional regulation through the body. However\, incorporating body-based interventions raises important ethical questions related to professional boundaries\, informed consent\, cultural sensitivity\, and the scope of practice. \nThis continuing education workshop explores the ethical use of somatic approaches within psychotherapy\, helping clinicians thoughtfully integrate body-oriented techniques while remaining aligned with professional standards of care. Together\, we will examine common ethical dilemmas that arise when working with breath\, movement\, grounding exercises\, and other somatic practices\, particularly regarding touch\, power dynamics\, trauma sensitivity\, and client autonomy. \nThe workshop will provide practical guidance for obtaining meaningful informed consent\, documenting somatic interventions\, and recognizing when referrals or additional training are necessary. Through case examples\, reflective discussion\, and ethical decision-making frameworks\, clinicians will strengthen their ability to incorporate somatic awareness into therapy while protecting client safety and maintaining clear professional boundaries. \nWorkshop Objectives:\n\nDefine key ethical considerations involved in integrating somatic therapies into psychotherapy\, including issues related to boundaries\, consent\, and scope of practice.\nIdentify potential ethical risks and clinical dilemmas that may arise when using body-based interventions such as breathwork\, grounding exercises\, or movement practices.\nDescribe best practices for obtaining informed consent and maintaining clear therapeutic boundaries when incorporating somatic techniques into clinical work.\nApply ethical decision-making frameworks to determine when somatic interventions are appropriate within a clinician’s scope of practice and when consultation\, referral\, or additional training may be necessary.\n\nREGISTER HERE\n  \n  \n
