WORKSHOP #1 & 3: Meaning-Based Therapy in the Treatment of Trauma, Addiction, Anxiety & Depression | PRESENTED BY Carissa Muth, Psy.D., CCC, R.Psych

What is it that makes life worth living?  People seek help because they feel stuck. Stuck by their symptoms, stuck by tough relationships, or stuck by seemingly impossible situations. While it is often easier as professionals to work with those in the “action” phase who seem ready to change, most often the individuals that come for help find themselves at a different stage of understanding what needs to change in their lives. Sometimes this results in working with those that seem to repeat the same negative choices or thought patterns over and over again. These individuals are prone to be labelled as non-compliant or not motivated. But what if it was something else?  Rooted in humanistic and Rogerian values, in this 6-hour workshop, Dr. Carissa Muth will provide participants with a strength based, meaning centred framework for understanding and working with a myriad of clients, including those struggling with trauma, addiction, anxiety, and depression who are seemingly treatment resistant. Integrating interventions from CBT, DBT, and Narrative Therapy, Dr. Muth will provide specific interventions that participants can immediately utilize. As psychologist Rollo May states, “There is no such thing as truth or reality for a living human being except as he participates in it, is conscious of it, has some relationship to it.” For those struggling with trauma, depression, anxiety, or addictions, this question of “why?” is at the core of the pursuit of recovery.

  • Conceptualize presenting issues from an integrated biological, psychological, social, and meaning perspective
  • Understand how a client creates their reality and how to work within their reality to create change
  • Develop an understanding of resistance in treatment and a framework for moving a client forward
  • Obtain techniques for helping others discover their meaning and purpose and utilize this to help “stuck” individuals
  • Identify the impact of meaning on recovery from trauma, addiction, anxiety and depression
  • Develop techniques for addressing trauma symptoms from an integrated, staged approach including exposure therapy and meaning based interventions
