Our birthday! Your CE. 🎉

PESI has been training clinicians since 1979, which means some of the names on your bookshelf have probably taught here at some point.

Some may be trainings that have been sitting on your wishlist since last conference season. Others might speak to the client who’s had you rereading your notes on Sunday nights.

The sale is slated to run through September. Select courses only.

"I came for the CE hours. I stayed because I didn't feel alone in this work."

That's what we kept hearing in San Diego.

You can get CE hours anywhere. That's not why in-person still matters.

It's the hallway. The person who's stuck on the same case you are. The lunch table where somebody says the thing you've been afraid to admit about your own caseload.

A webinar can't do that. This work is isolating enough already.

Talking through trauma isn't always enough. Sometimes it makes it worse.

Telling the story isn't the same as feeling safe and that's the gap we're closing in Sedona.

Five days. EMDR, somatic therapy, and polyvagal theory taught together. You'll leave knowing exactly what to do when talking stops working.

Comment "SEDONA" and we'll send you the full retreat details plus what's included.

Your clients may ask about their medications. That doesn’t mean you have to be a prescriber to understand what they’re taking.

Knowing the basics of common psychiatric medications can help you have more informed conversations, collaborate more effectively with prescribers, make appropriate referrals, and stay within your professional scope.

And yes… there’s a LOT to know.

Join Kenneth Carter, PhD, ABPP, for PESI’s FREE live *COMPLETELY UPDATED* Psychopharmacology: Essential Information for Mental Health Professionals training. You'll learn about the very latest medications for depression, anxiety, and more.

You’ll also learn about:
• Common medications for bipolar disorder, ADHD, psychosis, and insomnia
• Mechanisms of action, benefits, and adverse effects
• Collaborating with prescribers
• Scope of practice and ethical considerations
• Real-world clinical cases

That wall you keep hitting in session was built by hand, years ago, for a good reason.

IFS, the model Dr. Richard Schwartz developed, treats that wall as a protector, and meeting it with respect instead of force is often where the real work begins.

For what comes after noticing, Jenna Riemersma, LPC created a simple exercise for turning the battle with a part into a working relationship, drawn from her book Move Toward.
