Making and Implementing an Effective Exposure Menu/Hierarchy
🗓️ Thursday, Jan 29, 2026 | 🕛 12:00–1:00pm ET | 🎓 1 Core CE
👉 Register: https://www.theknowledgetree.org/p/exposure-menu-hierarchy

Exposure works — but only when the plan is clear, targeted, and truly tailored to the client.

This one-hour workshop will teach you how to build exposure menus and graded hierarchies that actually move the needle for anxiety and OCD. Through live demonstration and guided practice, you’ll learn how to:

⚡️ Design hierarchies that reflect a client’s real fears
⚡️ Target intrusive thoughts and catastrophic “what-if” loops
⚡️ Build exposures for hard-to-recreate scenarios
⚡️ Empower clients to face discomfort — not avoid it

If you’ve ever wondered “How do I structure exposures so they actually work?”, this training gives you the step-by-step playbook.

The Hidden Dynamics of Abuse: Identifying and Treating Intimate Partner Violence

*Early Price Ends This Friday, 12/5 at 5:00pm Eastern Time*
🗓️ Wednesday, Dec 17 | 🕥 10:30am–5:30pm ET | 🎓 6 Core CEs

Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) — often called domestic violence — is complex, nuanced, and deeply misunderstood. Survivors rarely come forward with a single clear story; instead, their experiences are layered with trauma, grief, manipulation, and ongoing safety concerns.
This advanced workshop will help you recognize, respond to, and treat clients affected by IPV, equipping you with both the insight and the tools to navigate these difficult dynamics safely and effectively.
Learn to differentiate unhealthy relationship patterns from IPV, identify emotional manipulation, and integrate tools like the Power and Control Wheel and safety planning into your clinical work. We’ll also explore the therapist’s role, the toll of vicarious trauma, and how to protect your own well-being as a clinician.

Learn the basics of the IFS model and how to incorporate it into your practice in this 6 core CE live webinar for therapists on January 20th. Sign up now!

Hormones & Mental Health: Understanding the Rhythms That Shape Mood and Behavior
🗓️ Friday, Jan 23, 2026 | 🕑 12:00–4:30pm ET | 🎓 4 Core CEs
👉 Register: https://www.theknowledgetree.org/p/hormones-and-mental-health

Not every symptom is anxiety. Not every “low motivation” moment is depression.
Hormones influence mood, cognition, energy, sensory processing, sleep, appetite, and stress — and many clinicians never learn how to recognize those patterns in practice.

Join Krista Day-Gloe, LCSW, for a research-informed training that blends endocrinology, neuroscience, and nervous-system regulation to help you identify hormone-driven vulnerability windows — and treat clients with more accuracy and compassion.

You’ll explore how to:
🌙 Recognize hormonal rhythms across the lifespan
⚖️ Differentiate AFAB vs. AMAB cycles and symptom profiles
🧠 Identify when hormonal fluctuations mimic or intensify DSM-5-TR presentations
🤲 Apply cycle-aware and rhythm-aware strategies in real cases
📈 Use somatic and body-led tools to reduce shame and improve outcomes

This workshop gives you practical clinical methods that go far beyond “it’s just hormones” — and into what’s actually happening inside the human body.

Your clients and colleagues know you’re an expert — but having a published book can make that expertise visible.

In this practical workshop, Anne Bartolucci, Ph.D., D.B.S.M. — a traditionally published and hybrid author — will walk you through every step of the author journey: from idea to manuscript to navigating the publishing world.

You’ll learn how to:
📚 Generate and narrow a compelling book topic
🧠 Overcome obstacles and avoid getting “stuck” in the writing process
🏷️ Understand traditional vs. indie publishing paths
📢 Master book marketing basics
🤖 Use AI ethically and responsibly in planning, writing, and promotion

If you’ve ever said “I’ve always wanted to write a book…,” this is the roadmap you’ve been waiting for.

How do we help clients build strength that lasts between sessions?
This full-day workshop dives into the science of neuroplasticity — the brain’s remarkable ability to grow, adapt, and rewire — to help clients (and clinicians!) develop deeper, longer-lasting resilience.
You’ll learn how to guide clients in cultivating calm, safety, satisfaction, and connection, while distinguishing between toxic positivity, simple optimism, and genuine positive neuroplasticity.
By the end, you’ll have a clear, practical framework for helping clients transform challenges into growth — and for protecting your own resilience along the way.

Ethics in Couples Therapy: What You Need to Know

👉 Register: https://www.theknowledgetree.org/p/ethics-couples-therapy

Couples therapy is powerful, unpredictable, and full of ethical curveballs. It’s not just “individual therapy with two people”—it requires a different lens, different boundaries, and a whole different set of decisions.

This workshop takes you deep into the ethical challenges unique to couples work, including:
❤️ loyalty and confidentiality
❤️ therapist values (when to disclose, when to hold back)
❤️ navigating “secrets” in the therapy room
❤️ deciding between couples therapy, individual therapy, or both
❤️ recognizing when couples therapy is contraindicated
❤️ building ethical, clear informed consent from the very first contact

You’ll walk away with a grounded, practical framework so you’re prepared for the tough moments — the ones that make couples work so challenging and so rewarding.

Learn the special ethical considerations in couples therapy to be prepared for challenging moments in this 6 ethics CEU live interactive webinar on 8/19/22.
