SUMMARY:💲SPECIAL SALE!💲 Beyond Answers: Strengthening Our Client’s Inner Compass through Ancient Runes 🆕
DESCRIPTION:💲Last-Minute Deal! $50 Off!💲\nBrand-New!\nLaw & Ethics\, Health Equity\, and Cultural Competence CEs!\nBeyond Answers: Strengthening Our Client’s Inner Compass through Ancient Runes\nPresented by: Kylani St. Clair\, LMHC\, CCTP\, RYT\nWhen: Friday\, October 23rd\, 2026 | 10:00 am – 1:00 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 Law & Ethics\, Health Equity\, or Cultural Competence | $99.00 NOW ONLY $49.00!\nContinuing Education Workshop Description:\nAmbivalence and uncertainty are common sources of distress for many clients\, who often look to therapists for answers\, reassurance\, and confirmation that they are making the “right” decision. Although psychotherapy cannot eliminate life’s ambiguities\, it can help clients cultivate something even more enduring: an inner compass rooted in self-trust\, personal values\, and meaningful reflection. \nThis experiential continuing education workshop introduces clinicians to the Elder Futhark rune system as an ancient symbolic framework for facilitating deeper therapeutic reflection and meaningful dialogue. Rather than using runes for prediction or divination\, participants will learn to incorporate their symbolism into psychotherapy as a client-centered tool for cultivating intuition\, exploring values\, constructing meaning\, and strengthening clients’ capacity to navigate uncertainty. Throughout the training\, runes are presented as one historical symbolic tradition that can support reflection\, not as a system of universal truth or prescribed belief. \nParticipants will experience the same reflective exercises they may later facilitate with clients\, gaining firsthand insight into the therapeutic process before integrating these interventions into clinical practice. Clinicians will learn practical strategies for incorporating rune symbolism into treatment while maintaining ethical practice\, cultural humility\, and respect for each client’s worldview. \nParticipants will leave with practical interventions they can adapt to a variety of clinical populations\, along with a deeper understanding of how symbolic facilitation can foster self-discovery\, meaning-making\, and confidence in the face of life’s uncertainties. The foundations of Jungian psychotherapy were built with instruments like mythology\, dreams\, archetypal symbols\, and ancient hieroglyphs. Jung regarded runes as a vital tool in “shaping one’s identity and life’s narrative\,” with a unique ability to connect our unconscious with our conscious (Samuels\, 1986; Stein\, 2021). \nRather than helping clients search for certainty\, clinicians will learn to foster greater self-trust\, reflection\, and confidence in navigating life’s inevitable ambiguities—empowering clients to access the wisdom they already possess. Jung highlighted the therapist’s role in psychotherapy as supporting patients in their own journey of “seeking deeper self=understanding” rather than providing simplistic yes-or-no answers. \nContinuing Education Workshop Objectives\n\nDescribe the historical origins\, cultural context\, and traditional use of the Elder Futhark rune system.\nDifferentiate the therapeutic use of runes from divination practices while maintaining appropriate ethical boundaries and scope of practice.\nExplain how rune symbolism can facilitate intuition\, values exploration\, meaning-making\, and clients’ ability to navigate uncertainty.\nObserve therapeutic techniques for incorporating runes into psychotherapy to facilitate reflection\, insight\, and meaningful dialogue.\nApply ethical principles\, cultural humility\, and health equity considerations when introducing rune-based interventions.\nDevelop practical strategies for incorporating rune-based interventions into treatment while honoring client autonomy\, informed consent\, and individual worldviews.\n\nREGISTER HERE\n  \n

SUMMARY:💲SPECIAL SALE!💲Attachment and the Neurobiology of Relationships
DESCRIPTION:💲Last-Minute Deal! $50 Off!💲\nAttachment and the Neurobiology of Relationships\nPresented by: Kristie Baber\, MSW\, LICSW\, CCTP\nWhen: Friday\, October 30th\, 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 NOW ONLY $140.00!\nThis continuing education workshop focuses on one of the most critical components in mental health\, social development\, and therapeutic intervention across our lifespan – attachment. \nThis class will demonstrate that attachment is a journey\, rather than the predetermined lifelong limitation a jaded clinical view might indicate.

SUMMARY:🆕BRAND-NEW! National Polarization: Effects on Child Welfare and Adoption Practice🆕
DESCRIPTION:🆕Brand-New!🆕\nLaw & Ethics\, Health Equity\, or Cultural Competence CEs!\nNational Polarization: Effects on Child Welfare and Adoption Practice\nPresented by: Deborah Gray\, MPA\, LICSW and Angela Tucker\nWhen: Thursday\, November 19\, 2026 | 9:00 AM – 4:30 PM\, Pacific Time\nWhere: Live\, In-Person event at Shoreline Center\nContinuing Education Credit Hours (NBCC and NASW-WA Approved): 6 Law & Ethics\, Health Equity\, or Cultural Competence CEs | $229.00\nContinuing Education Workshop Description\n“Woke.” “White Christian Nationalism.” “Racism.” \nThese ideas are impacting foster care\, adoption\, and child and family therapy practices. How do we provide ethical\, empathic\, client-centered care while also acknowledging systemic inequities\, the developmental consequences of early trauma\, and our broader social responsibility? \nThis six-hour continuing education workshop invites participants to wrestle with these questions. Co-taught by Angela Tucker and Deborah Gray\, the workshop explores the complex intersections of foster care placement\, adoptee identity\, transracial adoption\, race\, attachment\, grief\, trauma\, and belonging. \nParticipants will examine how adoption shapes identity across the lifespan through the Adoptee Consciousness Model\, while also exploring racial identity development\, code-switching\, the historical and contemporary influence of White Christian Nationalism on child welfare\, and the ethical challenges facing today’s therapists and social workers. \nTogether\, participants will consider the developmental impacts of neglect\, attachment disruption\, and early trauma alongside current child welfare policies\, asking difficult questions about justice\, equity\, and best practice. \nThe workshop challenges professionals to recognize overt and implicit discrimination\, thoughtfully navigate differences in political and religious worldviews\, and strengthen their abilities to provide culturally responsive care to adoptees and families who have been involved in child welfare. \nUsing a combination of presentation\, facilitated discussion\, video analysis\, self-reflection\, and role-play\, participants will leave with practical tools for working with clients involved in child welfare\, adoptees\, and their families in this sociopolitical climate. \nTherapists and social workers will recognize and counter their countertransference issues without derailing the helping relationship. Workshop attendees will develop skills for greater cultural humility\, ethical awareness\, and clinical confidence. \nContinuing Education Workshop Objectives\nBy the end of this workshop\, participants will be able to: \n\nAnalyze the unique identity challenges experienced by transracial foster children and adoptees\, including racial identity development\, code-switching\, belonging\, and navigating multiple cultural worlds.\nSummarize the historical and contemporary influence of race\, White Christian Nationalism\, and systemic power on child welfare and adoption practices in the United States.\nIdentify the effects of “color-blind” parenting on attachment when children of color are raised in white families. Describe strategies that promote secure parent-child attachment through caregiver education and increased racial awareness.\nDemonstrate adoptee-centered communication strategies that promote identity exploration\, validate lived experience\, and support healthy racial and adoptee identity development.\nIdentify four developmental impacts of early neglect and trauma exposure and explain how these experiences influence children’s emotional\, relational\, and neurological development.\nApply appropriate boundaries around self-disclosure when working with families whose political or religious beliefs differ from their own\, while avoiding false consensus in helping relationships.\nRecognize signs of countertransference\, identify situations in which it may interfere with effective practice\, and describe strategies for maintaining regulation and therapeutic effectiveness.\n\nREGISTER HERE\n  \n
