SUMMARY:🆕 BRAND-NEW! The Ethics of Caring for Both the Body and the Psyche: A Two-Part Workshop 🆕
DESCRIPTION: Brand-New!\nLaw & Ethics CEs!\nThe Ethics of Caring for Both the Body and the Psyche: A Two-Part Workshop\nPresented by: Eric Ström\, PhD\, Attorney at Law\, LMHC and Dr. Kristen Allott\nWhen: Thursday\, July 30th\, 2026 | 10:00 am – 5:00 pm Pacific Time\nWhere: Live on Zoom. You will receive your Zoom link/invitation the week of the workshop.\nContinuing Education Credit Hours: 6 CEs – 3 are Law & Ethics CEs | $199.00\nThis two-session workshop offers the clinician a new holistic lens for approaching clients whose cognitive\, somatic\, and physical symptoms can very often be directly linked to dis-harmony between our bodies\, the foods we eat\, our polyvagal states\, and our Internal Family System (IFS) parts. \nMany mental health practitioners have been incorrectly told that discussing the physical body and its interactive systems will be viewed as operating “out of our lanes” or areas of competence. Because of this\, clinicians may avoid having all-important and life-altering discussions about the connection between our bodies and our psyche—how the foods we eat and our nutritional health impact not only our physical but also our mental health. \nTo address the reluctance of mental health practitioners to discuss the very real connection between the somatic and the cognitive\, the body and the psyche\, we have invited Eric Strom to present the first session of this two-session day. Eric Strom’s Law and Ethics training will address the law and ethics around the Scope of Practice as it applies to mental health practitioners. \nKristen Allott will then follow Eric Strom’s three-hour law and ethics training and present her unique\, effective approach to explaining why many highly motivated clients still cannot make lasting changes in their dietary habits. Kristen shares how our IFS parts and protectors could be causing the subconscious resistance to dietary changes that could fuel inner harmony. Kristen’s approach to finding inner harmony and health using both IFS parts work and polyvagal states has proven to be highly effective AND entertaining\, a truly novel holistic approach to providing therapy. Her afternoon session will be both informative and engaging as she combines her specialties in nutrition and mental health. You will never view dietary habits in quite the same way after hearing Kristen’s techniques for incorporating IFS and polyvagal states in finding and fueling inner harmony and lasting change. \nMORNING SESSION (10:00 AM – 1:00 PM Pacific Time): The Law and Ethics of Operating within Our Scope of Practice\nPresented by: Eric Ström\, PhD\, Attorney at Law\, LMHC\nAs behavioral health providers\, it is essential that we practice only within the legal scope of our clinical license. At the same time\, many clinicians find it difficult to identify clear boundaries around the scope of practice for their licensure. In this three-hour morning session of a two-session workshop\, we will focus on demystifying the legal\, ethical\, and practical boundaries with regard to clinical scope of practice. We will also consider areas in which clinicians are most likely to find themselves needed to extend or adjust those boundaries. This course is intended to meet law and ethics continuing education requirements. \nLearning Objectives:\nParticipants in this workshop will be able to: \n1)  Identify the legal standards that define the scope of clinical practice; \n2)  Describe the ethical standards that define clinical competency; \n3)  Create and evaluate strategies to support client best interest through consultation\, termination\, referral\, and coordination; \n4)  Apply best practice standards to engaging in advocacy activities for clients. \nAFTERNOON SESSION (2:00 PM – 5:00 PM Pacific Time):\nIntegrating Polyvagal Theory Ladder and Internal Family System with the Physiologic Needs of the Body to Maintain Physical and Mental Health\nPresented by: Dr. Kristen Allott\nIn the last 20 years\, Internal Family Systems\, Polyvagal Theory\, and somatic practices have offered new insights into mental health that mirror ancient systems\, such as Chinese medicine and Ayurvedic medicine\, in our understanding of what it means to be human. \nDr. Kristen Allott\, a naturopathic doctor with a master’s degree in acupuncture\, a black belt in Aikido\, and a Polyvagal practitioner\, will connect how our food choices influence the vagus system and impact our Internal Family System. \nIn this seminar\, we’ll delve into how our food choices profoundly influence both our vagus system and our internal family system. You’ll discover how the body itself can often manifest as an “exiled child\,’ how a “rebel” part might seek sugar for protection\, and how our “protectors” can wage war over what we “should” or “shouldn’t” eat. You will learn how\, by consciously fueling the prefrontal cortex\, we can access our compassionate\, creative Selves\, significantly reduce acute distress\, improve sleep quality\, and cultivate a much deeper connection to our bodies and ourselves. \nThis live virtual training equips clinicians with practical tools to manage acute emotional distress by integrating Polyvagal Theory\, Internal Family Systems (IFS)\, and nutrition-based interventions. Participants will learn to identify nervous system states and internal “parts” that arise during emotional reactivity and apply targeted strategies to support regulation. \nThe course explores how diet\, stress\, and glucose levels affect emotional stability and introduces rapid-response tools\, such as the Protein for All Initiative and Lizard Brain Treats\, to help clients shift out of fight\, flight\, freeze\, or collapse. These techniques are especially effective for anxiety\, anger\, mania\, emotional withdrawal\, and self-harm ideation. Through case examples\, interactive demonstrations\, and downloadable resources\, attendees will gain actionable methods to enhance therapeutic outcomes. The virtual format enables flexible participation and ongoing access to learning materials. \nLearning Objectives:\n\nLearn the Polyvagal Ladder and its relevance to emotional regulation and therapeutic engagement.\n\n\nLearn to apply IFS principles to identify and work with internal parts activated by physiological dysregulation.\n\n\nLearn how diet and stress impact glucose levels\, and how these fluctuations influence mood and behaviors.\n\n\nLearn to implement nutrition-based interventions to stabilize the nervous system and reduce emotional reactivity.\n\n\nLearn to utilize physiology-based calming techniques to support clients in acute reactive states.\n\nREGISTER HERE\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 – 2 Professional Relationships and Boundaries CEs and 1 Law & Ethics CE | $109.00\nContinuing Education Workshop Description:\nBoundary violations are among the most common reasons for professional discipline of behavioral health clinicians. Dual relationships—both intentional and unintentional—can take many forms and often pose ethical\, clinical\, and legal challenges. \nIn recognition of this significant cause of misconduct\, as of October 2025\, the Washington Department of Health has implemented a new requirement for two hours of continuing education in “Professional Roles and Boundaries” every two years (the new Washington State continuing education requirements\, according to WAC 246-809-630\, can be found here). \nIn this continuing education workshop\, we will examine Washington State laws and professional ethical standards regarding personal and dual relationships with clients. Drawing from recent Washington Department of Health disciplinary decisions\, participants will engage with real-world case studies that illustrate common risk areas. The workshop will also offer practical strategies for establishing and maintaining appropriate clinical boundaries in everyday practice. \nThis course is designed to meet the Washington State Department of Health’s continuing education requirement for Professional Roles and Boundaries\, per WAC 246-809-630. \nThe third “bonus” hour will be a question-and-answer session with Eric and will include discussions of complex ethical cases involving professional roles and boundaries. \nContinuing Education Workshop Objectives:\nBy the end of this workshop\, participants will be able to: \n\nImplement strategies to maximize clinical effectiveness while minimizing liability risk;\nApply Washington legal guidelines regarding dual relationships;\nApply ethical standards concerning personal relationships with clients;\nIdentify and describe various types of inconsistent dual relationships;\nRecognize risk factors that may contribute to boundary crossings or violations; and\nCreate and evaluate strategies to maintain appropriate and ethical clinical relationships.\n\nREGISTER HERE\n  \n  \n

The workshop will also offer practical strategies for establishing and maintaining appropriate clinical boundaries in everyday practice. \nThis course is designed to meet the Washington State Department of Health’s continuing education requirement for Professional Roles and Boundaries\, per WAC 246-809-630. \nThe third “bonus” hour will be a question-and-answer session with Eric and will include discussions of complex ethical cases involving professional roles and boundaries. \nContinuing Education Workshop Objectives:\nBy the end of this workshop\, participants will be able to: \n\nImplement strategies to maximize clinical effectiveness while minimizing liability risk;\nApply Washington legal guidelines regarding dual relationships;\nApply ethical standards concerning personal relationships with clients;\nIdentify and describe various types of inconsistent dual relationships;\nRecognize risk factors that may contribute to boundary crossings or violations; and\nCreate and evaluate strategies to maintain appropriate and ethical clinical relationships.\n\nREGISTER HERE\n  \n  \n
