Jung describes the receiving principle as the deep mystery, the unconscious. It is the part of self that is the 'being' mode, compared to the giving/doing part of the self. In this presentation, we look at fusing polyvagal-informed somatic therapy with RO DBT and other modalities to help clients understand and reclaim the embodied and receiving principle as a foundation for recovery. We will explore the embodied integration of RO DBT and somatic modalities as a way to create innovative treatment of the mind, body, and spirit. We will use case studies to explore ways that we, as clinicians, can utilize aspects of these therapies in our own practice. Through experiential exercises, attendees will learn several evidence-based tools and practical polyvagal strategies for applying interventions demonstrated to be effective in treating a variety of clients, especially those with trauma. Attendees will leave this presentation with somatic, RO DBT, and polyvagal skills they can take back into their practice to help stabilize and intervene with clients and bypass resistance and ambivalence in treatment. Early price ends THIS FRIDAY, 9/5 at 5:00pm Eastern Time!

This FREE one-hour continuing education workshop provides an evidence-based overview of how hypnotherapy and memory reconsolidation can be integrated to strengthen clinical outcomes. Participants will first review the research on hypnotherapy efficacy across a variety of presenting concerns, including anxiety, depression, pain, and habit change. The course will then explore cutting-edge findings on memory reconsolidation, a process that has been shown to unlock and update maladaptive emotional learning. By creating memory reconsolidation through hypnotherapy, clinicians can create more robust and enduring opportunities for therapeutic change. The session concludes with a live demonstration, allowing participants to both experience and observe hypnosis in action, translating theory into practice.

This introductory workshop will review the scholarly research on the use of Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) with individuals who experience chronic illness. Emphasis will be placed on learning how to apply the ACT model of emotional pain and suffering to the unique experience of living with physical symptoms of a chronic illness, in addition to emotional distress. Specifically, participants will learn how to conceptualize avoidance of physical symptoms, attempts to control symptoms, and emotional experiences (i.e., depression, anxiety, and fear) from an ACT perspective. Special attention will be paid to the ways in which ACT approaches may need to be modified to accommodate physical symptoms and/or limitations within the chronic illness population.

“Are you ready to demonstrate your expertise as a clinical supervisor?” The Certified Professional Counselor Supervisor (CPCS) credential in Georgia is a highly regarded designation, ensuring that supervisors are competent, ethical, and equipped to guide the next generation of counselors.

This 2-hour interactive workshop is designed to help participants prepare for the CPCS certification or recertification process by reviewing the structure, domains, and competencies assessed on the exam. Through case examples, discussion, and guided review of key supervision principles, participants will strengthen their ability to recall essential content, apply supervision models, and evaluate ethical and legal considerations. Attendees will leave with practical strategies to approach exam questions with confidence, while reinforcing their supervisory knowledge and skills for everyday practice.

What if your greatest asset isn’t your bank account, but your brain?

Most people focus on building their financial wealth, yet few invest in strengthening their most powerful and irreplaceable asset: their mind. Grounded in the revolutionary science of neuroplasticity, this dynamic, high-energy seminar series reveals how the brain can be rewired and revitalized throughout the course of our lives. We are not prisoners of our genes, past, or circumstances — we can actively shape the health, function, and future of our brain. Participants will explore how daily habits, mindset, and intentional actions can grow new brain cells, forge stronger neural connections, and dramatically enhance cognition, performance, and emotional resilience. Through engaging content and practical, immediately usable strategies, mental health professionals will learn how to help clients eliminate brain fog (including in menopause), sharpen memory and creativity, boost focus and learning, and reduce their risk of anxiety, depression, and cognitive decline, including Alzheimer’s dementia. Discover how to empower clients to think and feel better, engage with therapy more effectively, and age with physical and mental vitality — by building a better brain. Early price ends THIS FRIDAY, August 29th at 5:00pm Eastern Time!

Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) is a rapidly evolving field that offers promising new treatment options for mood disorders, trauma, grief, addiction, and other areas where clients feel stuck.
Yet, with growing interest in psychedelic therapies comes widespread confusion. Many people, clinicians included, conflate very different substances, failing to recognize the distinct properties and uses of each. Even within the world of ketamine, few understand the critical differences between medical infusion clinics, recreational use (“Special K”), and collaborative models involving licensed therapists for at-home or in-office sessions.
Clients are increasingly curious about psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy and often turn to their mental health providers for guidance. This workshop equips you to respond with clarity and confidence. Whether you're simply aiming to field questions more effectively or considering entering this emerging field, you'll gain a solid foundation in the core concepts, clinical applications, and practical considerations of KAP. It will also provide an onboarding overview for anyone considering entering this niche field.

The essence of couples therapy is helping people leave their negative cycles and return to their positive cycles. Research has shown the importance of common factors in all successful couples therapy – across theoretical orientations. Two of those common factors are (1) thinking systemically, and (2) disrupting dysfunctional patterns. This workshop presents a model to help clarify our systemic thinking about couple’s negative and positive cycles. Additionally, Dr. Woodsfellow will guide us in a variety of interventions to disrupt their dysfunctional, negative cycles. Early price ends THIS FRIDAY, 8/22 at 5:00pm Eastern Time!
