Treating clients who suffer from the effects of trauma, anxiety or depression can be incredibly difficult…
Because treatment for these diagnoses is never one-size-fits all.
You need a variety of modalities in your toolbox so you’re ready for the client who’s stubbornly resistant to exploring their thoughts and feelings…
The client who wants to change, but is stuck in repeating patterns, getting increasingly frustrated with the lack of progress…
And the client who is so terrified of their memories, their bodies, or change that they can’t even take the first step toward healing.
To break through to these difficult cases, you need to customize your treatment approach by blending powerful modalities like Polyvagal Theory, ACT, DBT and others.
That's why we're inviting you to join some of the biggest names in therapy including Deb Dana, Ari Badaines, Kevin Keith, Renata Porzig-Drummond, Leona Dawson and many more…

Embracing the Plurality of Emotions and Affective Experience: A 2022 primer for mental health psychotherapy workers
Emotions are one of the most common experiences in human life. But behind this obvious reflection lies a rich, fascinating but deeply paradoxical landscape of empirical research.
Indeed, emotions may qualify as one of the Chalmer's so-called hard problems in cognitive science, alongside mind-body relationship and consciousness. Nonetheless, this highly fluid terrain of emotion research offers mental health workers important depth, breadth and renewed hope when approaching client's affective experiences. In particular, observable relief from emotional distress might be integrated with subjective notions of personal meaning.
Working well with emotions might extend our work to include both relief of suffering and enhancement of personal meaning.
