The workshops are based on the Unease Modulation Model of stress http://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyt.2019.00379/full
This model describes 5 components of stress in terms that are experiential and rooted in every-day situations. Participants will learn about their own stress response system and how to manage their stress effectively. These tools will help build their resiliency and prevent burnout as well as enable them to explain their client's and student's problems and solutions in a way that is jargon-free, engages the client/student, instills hope, and combats demoralization. The content will show how a wide variety of psycho-therapeutic techniques can be understood within the framework of the model. Therapists will then be able to use the techniques they are familiar with more effectively and apply them to a wider variety of mental health conditions.
Upcoming:
Turning Despair into Joy with Pain Relief in Psychotherapy with Dr. David Clarke
Expand the understanding of your clients by exploring the link between unexplained pain or illness and stress, trauma and emotions with Dr. David Clarke, MD via Zoom. For 40% of patients seen in primary care, pain or illness is not explained by disease or injury. Instead, symptoms are generated by the brain due to present day stress, unrecognized mental health conditions or long-term consequences of Adverse Childhood Experiences. Fortunately, if you know what to look for, all these sources of stress are treatable, and the pain or illness can be alleviated as successfully as any other form of illness.
When: July 19th from 9am - 12pm PST
Where: Zoom
Cost: $150 via check or Venmo
