Neurodivergent clients often experience unique stressors, sensory sensitivities, and societal pressures that can make standard self-care recommendations less effective or even overwhelming.
This brief but information-packed continuing education workshop introduces psychotherapists to tailored approaches for supporting self-care in neurodivergent populations. Participants will explore strategies for co-creating self-care plans that honor clients’ needs, preferences, and neurodiverse experiences, while promoting well-being, resilience, and autonomy.

Develop an understanding of the unique self-care needs and challenges faced by neurodivergent clients.
Learn strategies for co-creating accessible and meaningful self-care plans tailored to individual neurodivergent experiences.

More Than “Dear Diary”: The Clinical Use of Journaling in Therapy
Presented by: Dreya Blume, LCSW
When: Friday, October 23, 2026 | 9:00 am – 4:30 pm Pacific Time
Where: Live on Zoom. You will receive your Zoom link/invitation the week of the workshop.
Continuing Education Credit Hours (NBCC and NASW-WA approved): 6 CEs | $190.00
Continuing Education Workshop Description:
Journaling in session or as homework opens up an entirely new dimension of therapeutic processing for our clients. But journaling is so much more than free writing. It also includes many expressive writing techniques you will learn in this training, such as unsent letters, lists of 100, sentence stems, AlphaPoems, dialoguing, clustering, touchstones, and more.
Many clients already journal independently and will be curious about and open to incorporating expressive writing into their treatment. Most people are thrilled to have the opportunity to utilize creativity during their healing journey.
Journaling therapy is an evidence-based modality and has proven effective in addressing mental health issues such as post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, grief and loss, low self-esteem, and substance abuse. Expressive writing also resonates with people of all ages and backgrounds, making it an indispensable part of any clinician’s toolbox.
In this continuing education workshop, you will explore the history of therapeutic journaling and learn how expressive writing can be used with clients in various ways. We will also discuss how to help clients create and maintain a consistent and fulfilling journaling practice outside of sessions.
This training will be experiential and interactive, so please have a notebook or journal and something to write with on hand!
