Join us via Zoom on October 4th for Secrets in Psychotherapy: Clinical, Somatic, and Ethical Perspectives.

🚨Due to unforeseen circumstances, Dr. Zerbe is unable to travel to New Orleans and will be presenting virtually, however, we are still gathering @ NOBPC for those who’d prefer a hybrid format.

Hearing secrets is part of every clinician’s practice. The impact of keeping secrets has received little attention in psychodynamic training or the analytic literature. These disclosures can exert powerful and unanticipated reactions in the therapeutic relationship. Somatic countertransference reactions and the body/mind relationship is an entry point to more fully appreciate the importance of secrets that come to light in treatment. Ethical complications can also arise when bearing witness to others’ “ghosts” and trauma. It is essential to distinguish normative but conflictual ‘professional camouflage’ from unconscious or dissociated ‘secret identities.’

This presentation (based on Kathryn Zerbe’s new book Secrets in Psychotherapy: Stories that Inform Clinical Work) brings together contemporary perspectives from psychodynamic treatment, advances in cognitive science, medicine, and neuroscience to assist practitioners in working with secrets that emerge during psychotherapy or psychoanalysis. Clinical examples will illustrate and integrate the multiple perspectives from which to understand the impactful role secret keeping has on our patients’ lives and our own.

NOBPC Members: $70
Non-members: $115
Students (enrolled in a formal academic or training program): No CME $25

Virtual (Zoom) registration closes October 3 at Noon Central Time. Scan the QR code or visit nobpc.org for more information.

🥂Are you a psychotherapist in the New Orleans area? Do you need to build your referral network? Do you want more opportunities to connect with like-minded therapists?

We are excited to announce our second Psychotherapist Social Hour on Thursday, Sept. 18th, from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm at the Bayou Beer Garden.

The Social Hour is a casual event for psychotherapists to relax, network, and enjoy a drink together every three months. Our hope is to build community, create high-quality referral networks, and reduce the stress and isolation that we can experience as mental health professionals.

All counselors, social workers, psychologists, and psychiatrists are welcome. Clinicians who are curious about psychoanalysis and our center will have the opportunity to learn more from our members, but an interest in psychoanalysis is not required to attend.

Please join us and help us build community together!

We look forward to seeing you there!

The New Orleans-Birmingham Psychoanalytic Center invites you to join us (in person at NOBPC or via Zoom) on September 13th for a morning of reflection, remembrance, and renewal.

Led by our Emeritus Faculty, this event will feature a short documentary and discussion about the shared trauma of Katrina: how the Center came together to manage the crisis and evolved as a result, personal accounts of rebuilding, and how the storm impacted their career trajectories.

Don’t miss this opportunity to experience the profound impact of the storm on NOBPC and those who dedicated their careers to healing and recovery.

This event is FREE to attend, however, we do have a suggested donation amount of $15.00. No CME will be provided for attending this event.

In-person space is limited so please register early! Registration information can be found at nobpc.org.

Hope to see you there😀
