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

DESCRIPTION:Brand-New!\nLunch & Learn: Introduction to Somatic Psychotherapies\nPresented by: Dreya Blume\, LCSW\nWhen: Monday\, August 17th\, 2026 | 12:00 pm – 1:30 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): 1.5 CEs | $25.00\nSomatic psychotherapies rest on the understanding that the body holds important keys to healing trauma\, stress\, and emotional distress. This continuing education workshop will introduce psychotherapists to some of the most widely practiced somatic approaches (including Somatic Experiencing\, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy\, EMDR\, Brainspotting\, Hakomi Method\, and Emotional Freedom Technique). \nParticipants will gain a foundational understanding of how these methods view the mind-body connection\, the role of bodily sensations in emotional regulation\, and the ways somatic awareness can deepen therapeutic work. \nThe goal of this training is to provide a broad overview so clinicians can compare approaches and make informed decisions about which somatic modalities align with their interests\, client needs\, and practice settings. Participants will leave with a clearer map of the somatic therapy landscape and concrete ideas for integrating body-oriented awareness into their current clinical work. \nWorkshop Objectives:\n\nDevelop an understanding of the core principles shared across somatic psychotherapies.\nGain introductory knowledge of several popular approaches (e.g.\, Somatic Experiencing\, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy\, EMDR\, Brainspotting\, EFT).\nCompare and contrast the theoretical foundations\, methods\, and applications of different somatic modalities.\nLearn practical entry-point strategies for incorporating body awareness and regulation techniques into therapy sessions.\n\nREGISTER HERE\n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Death Planning and Acceptance: Breaking Down Stigma and Fear with Clients
DESCRIPTION:Law & Ethics\, Health Equity\, and Cultural Competence CEs!\nDeath Planning and Acceptance: Breaking Down Stigma and Fear with Clients\nPresented by: Kylani St. Clair\, LMHC\, CCTP\, RYT\nWhen: Friday\, September 11\, 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 CEs -2 count as Law & Ethics and 2 count as Health Equity or Cultural Competence | $190.00\nContinuing Education Workshop Description:\nWhen a client says “The thought of my family dying keeps me up at night\,” or “I’m terrified of death\,” a clinician tends to have their own moment of fear or hesitation. Sometimes we don’t know how to respond\, what we’re “allowed” to say\, what we can offer without activating our own countertransference\, or we’re afraid to broach the cultural/religious beliefs. As a society\, we used to be more comfortable with death\, literally and figuratively. Not long ago\, we were planning for the inevitable much earlier in life. We even displayed the deceased in our living rooms for mourners to visit- sometimes for a week or more! The U.S. has especially stigmatized death and it’s palpable in our sessions. That existential dread and anxiety that sometimes leads to panic attacks and depressive episodes often has death at the core. \nFurther\, grief and loss are often compounded when we don’t know what the deceased person wanted\, how to pay for after-death services\, and contacting the people who need to be informed. For example\, do you know if your partner wants to be cremated or buried? Is it important to you to be buried in another state? If so\, do you know what the protocols are for being transported across state lines? Do you have enough money to pay for what the service the deceased wanted? If we don’t have these conversations in our personal lives\, how can we hold space for them with our clients? \nIn this continuing education workshop\, we will break down some of the barriers to discussing death. We will learn about the process of dying\, identify laws and regulations to navigate options\, and de-stigmatize death. We’ll navigate the how\, what\, when\, and why of these conversation in session and how to continue the conversations at home. Throughout this process\, you will ease your own countertransference about death\, making death planning and acceptance with clients more meaningful. \nContinuing Education Workshop Objectives: \n\nReduce existential dread and anxiety regarding death.\nReduce levels of depression seated in despair about death.\nNavigate clinical history at a multicultural level\, providing both clients and clinicians with options for how to handle their own death\, burial\, funeral\, etc.\n Share artifacts and resources for various death professionals.\nApply cultural\, religious\, and familial traditions.\n Identify differences between tradition types. Explore learner’s experiences. Identify any countertransference and how to hold space for it during session. Practice self-disclosure.\nRevisit Kubler-Ross’ stages of grief and introduce David Kessler’s Needs of the Dying affirmations.\nDiscuss pre-grieving\, second-grieving\, disenfranchised grief\, and normalize the process of grief.\nImprove client advocacy via communication and understanding rights.\nPractice communication around goals\, desires\, needs for end-of-life care\, including\, but not limited to\, funeral and burial details.\nModel the practice self-advocacy via the “Caregiver’s Bill of Rights\,” including gaining a thorough understanding of laws and regulations around death and dying.\nNavigate grief and loss\n\nREGISTER HERE\n  \n  \n

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 Professional Roles & Boundaries or Law & Ethics CEs | $99.00\nSomatic therapies are increasingly integrated into psychotherapy as clinicians seek ways to address trauma\, stress\, and emotional regulation through the body. However\, incorporating body-based interventions raises important ethical questions related to professional boundaries\, informed consent\, cultural sensitivity\, and the scope of practice. \nThis continuing education workshop explores the ethical use of somatic approaches within psychotherapy\, helping clinicians thoughtfully integrate body-oriented techniques while remaining aligned with professional standards of care. Together\, we will examine common ethical dilemmas that arise when working with breath\, movement\, grounding exercises\, and other somatic practices\, particularly regarding touch\, power dynamics\, trauma sensitivity\, and client autonomy. \nThe workshop will provide practical guidance for obtaining meaningful informed consent\, documenting somatic interventions\, and recognizing when referrals or additional training are necessary. Through case examples\, reflective discussion\, and ethical decision-making frameworks\, clinicians will strengthen their ability to incorporate somatic awareness into therapy while protecting client safety and maintaining clear professional boundaries. \nWorkshop Objectives:\n\nDefine key ethical considerations involved in integrating somatic therapies into psychotherapy\, including issues related to boundaries\, consent\, and scope of practice.\nIdentify potential ethical risks and clinical dilemmas that may arise when using body-based interventions such as breathwork\, grounding exercises\, or movement practices.\nDescribe best practices for obtaining informed consent and maintaining clear therapeutic boundaries when incorporating somatic techniques into clinical work.\nApply ethical decision-making frameworks to determine when somatic interventions are appropriate within a clinician’s scope of practice and when consultation\, referral\, or additional training may be necessary.\n\nREGISTER HERE\n  \n  \n

This scientifically proven program\, developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn\, PhD\, has been shown to reduce stress\, decrease chronic pain\, and increase personal well-being. \nThe next MBSR series will meet for 8 weeks on Monday evenings both in person and online from 6:30 – 9:00 PM Pacific Standard Time. Fall class dates are October 12 through November 30. \nEmail Brenda at ournewexperiences@gmail.com for more information. \nAbout the MBSR Course\nIn this 8-week MBSR course\, you’ll practice techniques and develop skills based on the latest neuroscience to effectively manage and reduce stress. Research findings indicate that when practiced regularly\, skills developed in this course can literally rewire the brain\, resulting in improved health and overall well-being. \nRoutinely living life on autopilot\, being unaware of how stressed out we are\, does not serve us well. Our body\, mind\, and soul pay an increasingly high price\, indicated by symptoms of compromised physical\, mental\, emotional\, and psychological health. \nScientifically-proven benefits of MBSR include:\n\n\nLowered stress levels \n\n\nReduced chronic pain (back pain\, headaches\, hypertension\, etc.) \n\n\nDecreased worry\, anxiety\, and depression \n\n\nFewer sleep problems \n\n\nImproved emotional regulation \n\n\nSharpened mental focus and enhanced attention \n\n\nImproved immune system functioning \n\n\nHelp with life-threatening medical illnesses \n\n\nMore satisfying relationships \n\n\nBetter ability to cope with grief and loss \n\n\nSupport for recovery from substance abuse \n\n\nIncreased joy\, resilience\, and compassion \n\n\nIn the MBSR course\, you will learn meditation practices to develop mindfulness\, also referred to as present-moment awareness.  Through instruction and daily practice\, you will develop the capacity to notice when you’re stressed out and learn skills to take better care of yourself\, minimize the negative effects of stress in the moment\, and experience greater well-being. \nThe MBSR class offers instruction in:\n\n\nmindfulness meditation (sitting and walking) \n\n\nmindfulness practices for daily life \n\n\nbody awareness \n\n\nmindful yoga \n\n\nself-reflective inquiry \n\n\n​You’ll be supported throughout the program to develop your own mindfulness practice to sustain you long after this class ends. \nMBSR Course Details\nSessions: This class consists of 8 class sessions\, a 6-hour retreat\, and daily home practices.
