Presented by Jacqui Hoke, LPC

Have you ever felt tired as a clinician of battling people's negative thoughts and feelings? Or felt like you're not sure what you're doing is working? This 3 hour intro to Acceptance and Commitment Therapy will give some insight into how this process-based therapy takes a different approach to helping clients by not trying to change them, but rather helping them to get back in touch with their own agency through acceptance, mindfulness and a greater focus on what makes their life meaningful. We'll cover the basics of ACT, including the six core processes and how they move clients from an inflexible orientation to life to a more psychologically flexible one. We'll also get experiential and learn some helpful interventions that can get you started in increasing your and your clients' openness, awareness, and engagement in your lives.
Visual Journaling as a Therapeutic Intervention
Presented by Alexis Rae Burrow, LPCC-S, CEAT
1 CE
Visual Journaling is a creative exploration of the internal world. It is a way to record one’s unique inner worlds as they can be experienced in colors, shapes or images. Visual Journaling allows one to create what cannot be described in words and access different areas of the brain to process one’s own struggles. The act of visual journaling allows us as practitioners to see how an individual internally experiences emotions. In this seminar we will discuss setting up a visual journal using basic materials. We will explore the roots of visual journaling and how it came into our therapeutic world. We will discuss how to approach specific journaling activities in ways that empower clients to express their internal world rather than feel pressured to create art. This is an interactive seminar where participants will participate in their own visual journal entry in order to conceptualize how to utilize visual journaling in their own practice.

Low Libido or Desire Discrepancy
Presented by Alexis Rae Burrow, LPCC-S and Heather Sexton, LPC
2 CEs
Low libido is one of the biggest concerns cisgender women bring to health-care providers in and outside of the therapy room. Often, evidence shows, cis women who struggle with low libido don't reveal their struggle unless directly asked. Much of the research on this topic is lacking in gender diversity and other cultural implications. Another problem is, very few clinicians have any training on how to recognize and especially treat low libido. This training will equip therapists with ways to identify this common sexual concern. You will leave this training being able to assess and intervene with evidence-based interventions for this common sexual issue.

Emotional Freedom Technique
Presented by April Cunningham, LPCC-S
1.25 CEs
Emotional freedom technique (EFT) is a self-help somatic technique used to decrease emotional distress. Often referred to as "tapping", EFT combines specifically worded affirmations with tapping on acupressure points, as well as bilateral stimulation, breathing, and visualization to reduce limbic system arousal while visualizing targeted issue. Research demonstrates significant long term efficacy when working with many mental and physical health issues, including depression, anxiety, trauma, insomnia, phobias,"limiting beliefs", and many more.
This training seeks to give a basic understanding of the history, underlying principles, protocols, and efficacy of EFT tapping. The training will provide an understanding of the basic physiological processes that lead to change, and will provide a basic overview of the practical application of tapping with clients. Much time is spent on decolonizing EFT to connect and honor its roots in Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture
