Mar 29 (Thu) 10 am – 1 pm     Part 1: Working with Trauma- The Use of Integrative Relationship Therapy Methods – Deany Laliotis, LICSW

While EMDR therapy is best known for the treatment of PTSD, it has evolved into a comprehensive psychotherapy approach that treats a broad range of clinical problems in a variety of contexts. In this training module you will learn how Relational EMDR Therapy℠ is used to identify and treat clients’ difficulties in their current relationships that are informed by formative attachment wounds. You’ll learn how these painful early experiences can be successfully resolved, rectifying emotional confusions about self and other, which allows our clients to develop new, more adaptive ways of thinking, feeling and responding that make secure attachment possible.

Mar 29 (Thu) 2 pm – 6 pm    Group Supervision process course for working with sexual issues – Dan Rosen & Pebble Kranz, M.D.

Group supervision is a dynamic method for sex and relationship therapists to acquire knowledge, practice skills, increase emotional awareness, and reflect on their work and sense of professional self. Discussion of sexuality and sexual problems is emotionally activating and group supervision provides a space to reflect on our own sexual narratives. Relationship therapy induces feelings of vulnerability and may induce reenactment in the therapist of their own family of origin roles. Group supervision provides a relational framework for exploring what is induced in the clinical sessions and harnessing that for more effective therapy with our clients. Group supervision – as it is inherently relational – is highly suited to the exploration of all that is induced in the therapist; whether we call this ‘parts’ work or family of origin work or countertransference, these experiences, thoughts, feelings, and urges that arise may be best understood in a group supervisory program.

Developing the knowledge to identify when a sexual medicine specialist may be a helpful partner and knowing how to communicate and collaborate with them enables therapists to provide the highest level of integrated care for their clients. Group supervision bundles a group of clinicians who can share resources with each other. Talking to colleagues about client sexual needs happens directly in group supervision, fostering increased competence in use of language and surfacing biases.

In this unique workshop participants will explore the framework of group sex therapy supervision and consult with a sexual medicine specialist to both understand the underpinnings of good supervision practice and effective clinical consultation.
