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:🆕 BRAND-NEW! AuDHD in Love 🆕
DESCRIPTION:BRAND-NEW!\nHealth Equity or Cultural Competence Continuing Education Credits (CEs)\nAuDHD in Love\nPresented by: B Lourenco\, MA\, LMHC and Stacy Skowronski\, PhD\, LCSW\, CST\nWhen: Friday\, December 11th\, 2026 | 9:00 AM – 4:30 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 CEs): 6 CEs – 4 count as Health Equity or Cultural Competence CEs | $199.00 \nContinuing Education Workshop Description\nAs people learn more about Autism and ADHD through lived-experience and the Neurodiversity-Affirming movement\, we see the layered influence on sexual and romantic relationships. Masking has a profound effect on the development of “self” and the understanding of relationships\, leading to misunderstandings and confusion in all relational settings. Add in the nuances of differing sensory needs and ways of attending to stimuli\, plus experiences of rejection sensitivity and demand avoidance\, and the challenges pile up quickly. And we haven’t even talked about relational trauma yet! \nWhether people share the same neurotype or not\, the impact of neurodivergence is complex and layered. Using a multidisciplinary approach\, this workshop is taught by two clinicians with a variety of expertise and experience and will explore how Autism and ADHD affect intra and interpersonal relationships\, from platonic to romantic/sexual and everything in-between. \nContinuing Education Workshop Objectives\nAfter this continuing education workshop\, attendees will be able to: \n\nDefine at least 3 ways the medical model of Autism and ADHD leads to biases in healthcare providers/clinicians\nDescribe at least 2 ways that Autistic and ADHD traits and experiences can impact romantic/sexual relationships\nExplain the relational effects of the Double Empathy Problem\, Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria\, and Pathological Demand Avoidance\nIdentify how monotropism influences Au/DHD communication and relational patterns\nIdentify how missing key experiences like monotropism\, RSD\, and PDA can contribute to relational harm in therapy\nDescribe how differing sensory profiles can impact all types of relationships where people share space\nApply sensory-informed and interoceptive frameworks to enhance safety and connection\nImplement tools to offer sensory mapping profiles for relational systems\nIdentify/understand common polarities in neurodivergent couples that impact connection\nIdentify how Au/DHD traits influence relational pacing and attachment\nDifferentiate codependence from interdependence within neurodiverse couples\nIntegrate neurodiversity-affirming approaches and the Polarities to Parallels Model to support accountability\, repair\, and mutual regulation\n\nREGISTER HERE\n  \n  \n
