WORKSHOP #12: Couples Therapy to Transform Your Practice: Help Couples Build Lasting Relationships that Thrive | PRESENTED BY Carissa Muth, Psy.D., CCC, R.Psych
Join us for a transformative journey as we delve into the intricate dynamics of couples’ relationships. Often, by the time couples seek therapy, layers of resentment have built up, creating a barrier that seems insurmountable. In this three-hour workshop, Dr. Muth will guide participants through an integrated approach drawing from Emotion Focused Therapy, Nonviolent Communication, and research by the Gottmans.
Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all solution, this workshop emphasizes a holistic understanding of relationship dynamics. Participants will gain insight into coordinating identified needs in relationships with appropriate therapeutic interventions. Through exploring the science behind abandonment and connection, attendees will learn effective strategies for addressing these issues in treatment sessions. Additionally, tools will be provided for working with clients who struggle with empathy, empowering therapists to navigate such challenges with confidence.
Embark on this journey of discovery and equip yourself with the skills needed to help couples build lasting and thriving relationships.
WORKSHOP #15: MDMA-Assisted Psychotherapy for PTSD & Improving Social Connectedness | PRESENTED BY Sara Klinkhamer MA, RCC
Psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy is making a comeback, and this time it doesn’t look like it is going anywhere despite some significant controversies in the last few years. The most research has been conducted with MDMA for chronic PTSD, with Phase 3 clinical trials complete and the application into the FDA, it is expected to be approved by the end of this year in the United States. Already here in Canada many people have received treatment through the Special Access Program (SAP) and expanded access is on the horizon. For this 3-hour workshop, Sara Klinkhamer will focus on MDMA-assisted psychotherapy, which has also been the focus of the PhD she is currently completing through the California Institute of Integral Studies. It will be argued here that MDMA-assisted psychotherapy is particularly effective for treating PTSD because it improves one’s sense of social connectedness and social connectedness moderates PTSD symptom severity. A brief history and context will situate these claims. The talk will also include a discussion of the possibility that MDMA-assisted psychotherapy improves one’s sense of connectedness in general. Current and future research may show it is effective for treating various ‘maladies of disconnection’ including addiction, depression, relationship problems and other existential issues.
