Many of them had done well in graduate school\, but they also felt they lacked practical skills and tools to support their clients in clinical practice. Or they could explain a principle in a clinical way\, but didn’t know how to use that information to offer psychoeducation to their clients. \nThis continuing education workshop is meant to serve as a bridge between higher education “book smarts” and practical clinical application\, offering concepts and tools in easy-to-digest\, easy-to-apply ways. \nWhile geared toward newer clinicians\, this continuing education workshop is also appropriate for therapists who want a skills refresher or need reminders of tools they may have forgotten along the way. \nB offers several instruments and concepts based on her clinical expertise\, so everyone is bound to leave with new knowledge\, practical techniques\, and skills! \nSome topics covered include: relational skills\, attachment\, family and social systems\, relational dependence\, nervous system education\, reinforcement\, learning and epistemology\, transference issues\, clinical expertise\, and humility. \nContinuing Education Workshop Objectives\nAttendees will: \n\nLearn simple ways to explain and explore at least two (2) concepts related to attachment theory and/or relationship models\nDescribe ways that systems impact individuals and vice versa\nDescribe nervous system responses\, including an adapted Polyvagal model\nDescribe at least two (2) clinical life skills that their clients can benefit from\nDefine at least two (2) ways to determine their personal clinical expertise and how to use them in sessions with clients\nLearn how clinical transference and countertransference can be one of a therapist’s best tools\n\nREGISTER HERE\n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Chronic Pain: Psychological and Somatic Strategies that Offer Relief and Hope
DESCRIPTION:Health Equity or Cultural Competence CEs!\nChronic Pain: Psychological and Somatic Strategies that Offer Relief and Hope\nPresented by: Dreya Blume\, LCSW\nWhen: Friday\, August 14th\, 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): 6 Health Equity or Cultural Competence CEs | $190.00 \nChronic pain is more than a physical symptom – it is a complex interplay of body\, mind\, and emotion that can impact every dimension of a client’s life. Stress\, trauma\, and persistent tension often amplify pain signals\, reinforcing cycles of discomfort\, hypervigilance\, and emotional dysregulation. \nThis in-depth continuing education workshop is designed for psychotherapists who want to bring a mind-body lens to chronic pain treatment. Participants will explore evidence-informed psychological and somatic strategies (including mindfulness\, grounding\, breathwork\, guided imagery\, hypnosis\, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)\, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy\, and body awareness interventions) that help reduce pain perception\, support regulation\, and foster resilience. \nAttendees will learn how to help clients shift their relationship with pain\, identify and release tension patterns\, and build self-regulation skills. Therapists will leave with practical tools and strategies for combining psychological insight and somatic techniques\, expanding their ability to guide clients toward relief\, restoration\, and improved quality of life. \nWorkshop Objectives:\n\nDevelop an understanding of how psychological processes and somatic patterns interact in the experience of chronic pain.\nLearn evidence-informed somatic techniques (e.g.\, grounding\, breathwork\, body-awareness practices) that can reduce pain-related stress and support client regulation.\nExplore ways to integrate psychological interventions (e.g.\, cognitive reframing\, mindfulness\, compassion practices) with somatic strategies for holistic pain care.\nBuild skills to recognize and respond to somatic signals of pain and emotional distress\, guiding clients in developing self-soothing and regulation techniques.\nIdentify culturally sensitive approaches for tailoring mind-body interventions to clients with diverse experiences of pain.\nLearn methods for assessing the effectiveness of combined psychological and somatic strategies in reducing pain and enhancing resilience\nIdentify the emotional\, mental\, and spiritual impacts of living with chronic pain.\nUnderstand at least ten non-pharmaceutical ways to manage chronic pain.\nBecome familiar with the emotional issues surrounding chronic pain.\nDiscuss the role of grief and anger in living with chronic pain.\nExplore newer pain management tools such as somatic tracking.\nIdentify how to introduce pain management techniques appropriately to clients.\n\nREGISTER HERE\n  \n
