You can access the FREE training on navigating client resistance at the link below:

What if the client you’re calling “resistant” is actually a part of them trying to keep them safe?

When a client shuts down, pushes back, or struggles to engage in trauma work, it may be a protective part guarding them from pain.

Instead of pushing harder, what if we got curious?

Learning to befriend these protective parts can help clients feel less alone in their struggles and give therapists a new way forward when sessions feel stuck.

If you’re looking to bring together EMDR therapy, parts work, and somatics in your practice, this free, single-day training is for you!

Comment “AI” and we’ll send you the conference details!

So what are you and your fellow clinicians actually saying about AI? And how can you make informed decisions about using it responsibly?

Join us at the AI in Clinical Practice Conference, happening LIVE online October 29–30, to explore the opportunities, challenges, and ethical considerations shaping the future of therapy.

Comment UNPLUG and we’ll send them to you.

Six hours of scrolling will never be the presenting problem.

It shows up on your intake as insomnia. As anxiety. As a marriage going quiet. The compulsive pattern underneath (scrolling, gaming, shopping, gambling, the tabs nobody mentions) often surfaces weeks in, and when it does, many clinicians find their substance-use training doesn’t quite map onto it.

Jennifer L. Patterson, PsyD, LCPC wrote her workbook for exactly that gap: an ACT-based, shame-free approach to compulsive behaviors that works from values instead of willpower. Right now you can get a full chapter free, plus printable client worksheets you can use in session this week.

Ten minutes into a first session, one good question can save you ten weeks.

Most clinicians have one: the ask that cracks an intake open. Some swear by “why now, and not six months ago?” Others go straight to “what should be different by the time we’re done?” Whatever yours is, it probably took years of first sessions to find.

Tell us yours in the comments, and steal a few while you’re there. This thread is about to become the best free intake training on the internet.

Comment INVISIBLE and we’ll send you details.

The trauma of narcissistic abuse doesn’t always leave visible scars.

Clients may arrive in therapy struggling with trauma bonds, cognitive dissonance, self-doubt, or the lingering effects of a relationship they’re still trying to make sense of.

Join Ramani Durvasula, PhD for the 3-Day Narcissistic Abuse & Recovery Retreat, November 4–6, at the Waters Edge Resort & Spa in Connecticut, or attend live online from anywhere.

3 days focused on the impact of narcissistic abuse and the path toward recovery.

And if you’ve been considering attending, the early rate ends October 13.
