Class 1
10:00 AM - 1:00 PM EST
Explore the profound ways trauma is inherited through both genetic coding and environmental influences. This session examines how historical and cultural traumas have shaped entire populations, with their effects rippling through generations. Participants will gain insights into how societal biases, media narratives, and collective histories perpetuate cycles of trauma within and between communities, often fueling misunderstanding and division.
Through engaging discussions and real-world vignettes, the class will uncover the mechanisms of inherited trauma, the interplay between individual and collective experiences, and the role of belief systems in shaping identity and self-esteem. Attendees will leave with a deeper understanding of how implicit bias impacts healing and will be equipped to foster acceptance and empathy in addressing generational and population level traumas.

Cracking the Code: Building Powerful Therapeutic Alliances with Challenging Clients
Mental health clinicians routinely encounter individuals with challenging personalities and behaviors. With these clients, we can become stuck in patterns of interaction that are not therapeutic, leave us feeling frustrated, and block us from engaging in healing relationships with our clients. This workshop will offer a deeper understanding of personality functioning and provide insights into improved working relationships with challenging individuals. In this workshop we will move toward a deeper understanding of the concept of personality and learn how to form therapeutic alliances in challenging professional relationships. Initially, the workshop will cover DSM-5’s alternative model for personality disorders with a focus on the elements of identity, self-direction, empathy, and intimacy and how individuals exist along a continuum for each of these elements.
The workshop will examine how these elements manifest for clients along the spectrum, from little to no impairment through severe impairment. With insight into these personality elements, practical case examples will be reviewed along with exploration of how to form alliances with individuals who fall on the far ends of the spectrum. The outcome of the workshop will be a deeper understanding of personality more generally as well as some take-home tools for creating stronger therapeutic alliances with challenging clients.
