This continuing education workshop will encourage and equip clinicians who are struggling with seemingly impossible people in their practices and personal lives. You know the types – folks who distract us from doing our best work and erode our sense of contentment.
The class will equip attendees with hacks to confront the demanding, thorny, bothersome, and stressful situations that challenging relationships bring into our offices and lives. From the annoying to the exhausting – we will address generalized personality types and how to deal with them while simultaneously remaining grounded and holding our center.
Please note that this class is NOT intended to address the DSM-5 diagnostic categories of personality disorders – rather, we will be addressing more common issues that don’t necessarily rise to clinically diagnostic levels but can be equally disconcerting and uncomfortable in both personal and professional relationships.
This lighthearted class is designed for practicing therapists with clients of all ages. The workshop will be conducted via Zoom, and teaching modalities will include a mix of clinical discussion, lectures with clinical examples, video illustrations, and individual/group case exercises.
Workshop Objectives:

Distinctively examine high-maintenance relationships characterized by anger, criticism, martyrdom, negativity, neediness, competition, insensitivity, and control.
Address strategies for universal psychotherapy office-specific challenges.
Contextualize Freud’s defense mechanisms.
Identify essential emotional regulation skills in adulthood.
Develop self-assessment capacity regarding the impact of stress on our lives and work.
Explore multiple strategies to hold our center and maintain equilibrium in our practices.

Every person is on a journey — one of becoming, healing, and finding meaning. The Major Arcana of the Tarot offers a beautiful reflection of this path. These 22 cards tell the story of the Hero’s Journey: the universal process of growth and transformation that mirrors each of our lives. Jung’s model of the hero’s journey is a path that clients can easily relate to in their own lives. In this workshop, you’ll explore how the Tarot can help clients connect with their path through difficult times.
The Major Arcana begins with The Fool, who takes a leap of faith into the unknown, and ends with The World, symbolizing a completed journey. Between these two cards lies the full range of human experience — discovery, love, loss, challenge, renewal, and awakening. Each card helps clients reflect on how they learn, heal, and grow.
Working with these archetypes can help clients who recognize that the transformation is possible and that setbacks are part of the journey. Perhaps you are navigating a “Tower” moment of upheaval, meeting your “Shadow” in The Devil, or beginning a new chapter as The Fool once more. Through the imagery of the Tarot, you will help clients to see their story not as fragmented or confusing, but as meaningful — a necessary part of an unfolding journey toward wholeness.
During this experiential workshop, you’ll be guided through meditations, creative exercises, and creating Tarot cards.
Tarot, when used in this way, is not about prediction; it’s about reflection. It’s a way of accessing unconscious wisdom — the part of you that already knows what healing and integration look like. Jung described this process as individuation: the journey of becoming your fullest, most authentic self.
Through the language of the Major Arcana, you can learn to trust this inner process, honor the changes you’re experiencing, and view your challenges as meaningful steps along your path. Whether you are seeking clarity, self-compassion, or a deeper sense of purpose, the Tarot offers a gentle, creative way to reconnect with your own story — the myth you are living and the hero you are becoming.
Workshop Objectives:

Recognize how the Hero’s Journey helps clients on their healing journey
Understand the lessons of the major arcana through a therapeutic lens
Gain confidence in using tarot in clinical settings.
Helping clients reconnect with intuition, purpose, and inner guidance
Explore art making for self-care
