Embracing Wholeness: The Power of Integration
April 4, 2024
Description
Life circumstances, trauma and other stressors can split both our clients and ourselves from our wholeness, temporarily leaving us feeling disconnected, anxious, depressed, lonely, unloved, exhausted, and so much more. Studies in neuroscience, psychology, and mind-body traditions now show us that integration is key to bring us back to our innate wholeness.
* As we experience realigning with our wholeness and discover ways to do this, we can use these tools to help psychotherapy clients navigate life challenges again and again.
* We can become stronger in the face of adversity and become able to connect to our inner wisdom, love, peace and joy regardless of our circumstances.
* We have access to more of ourselves during the hard times and this gives us more hope in a world that can be very chaotic and uncertain.
* We discover how to integrate the challenges we face and return to wholeness.
2024 Women's Recovery Conference:
Finding Balance Amid Constant Change
May 1-3, 2024
Description
This is the 38th year of the Women's Recovery Conference, where gender-responsive care, focusing on the needs of women in recovery and their families, is exclusively presented. The 2024 Women's Recovery Conference offers up to 15.5 credit hours with a variety of credit options.
The entire conference is designed to provide tools that help heal and empower women in recovery, foster stress resilience in a time of unprecedented change, promote collaboration, build trust, and maintain clinical excellence. In the ever-changing environment of caregiving, this is key information all providers must know to overcome current challenges, improve client outcomes, and to promote overall women's health through sustained recovery. Fresh, gender-responsive approaches are taken on mandatory topics such as supervision, ethics, HIV, STIs, and bloodborne pathogens. The conference also offers a choice of innovative care modalities that frontline providers may implement to motivate and empower women, while optimizing balance on the inevitably precarious path of recovery. Information is offered on rewiring the female brain for recovery, medications for opioid use disorder, strategies for harm reduction, and reduction of unintentional self-sabotage. This conference emphasizes culturally-appropriate care, the fostering of strong communities, and the enhancement of physiological, perinatal, and maternal support for women in recovery.
The Preconference on Wednesday, May 3rd offers opportunities for both new and advanced practitioners.
