Through experiential exercises and case studies, participants will learn essential techniques for preparing clients for the therapeutic journey, ensuring readiness and resilience for the processing phases ahead.
In the skills practice portions of the training, participants spend one-on-one time guiding one another through the core processing phases of EMDR therapy, which include assessment, desensitization, installation, body scan, and closure. Opportunities abound to work alongside other mental health professionals in a mock client/practitioner relationship with the goal of promoting adaptive processing and integration of traumatic memories. Participants find the hands-on approach key to building confidence in applying EMDR skills in clinical settings.
The last sessions of the training centers on the final re-evaluation phase, reflecting on progress and addressing residual trauma symptoms.

DESCRIPTION: We are our decisions. And many of our patients need to make better decisions—big ones, small ones, relationship ones.
There’s a lot involved in making decisions: Values. Existential issues. Self-image. Trust. Self-discipline. And narratives of powerlessness, destiny, and identity.
Many of our couples and individuals behave as if they don’t believe what they know. They make life choices accordingly, and then they’re surprised at life outcomes that anyone could see coming a mile away.
We’ll examine how people make decisions, evaluate decisions, and rationalize the results of their decisions. We’ll discuss how decision-making is shaped by:
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Fear of conflict</li>
<li>Shame and guilt</li>
<li>Agreements, broken promises, and secrets</li>
<li>Impulsivity and avoidance</li>
<li>Perfectionism and procrastination</li>
<li>Forgiveness, compassion, and self-compassion</li>
<li>Existential dilemmas that people work hard to avoid.</li>
</ul>
You’ll learn how to help clients notice their decision-making patterns; how to motivate them to change; and how to help them actually change. We’ll look at clinical tools such as reframing; existential support; identifying narratives; and values clarification. You will improve your ability to help clients make better decisions—without telling them what to do.
Writer Annie Dillard said, “How we spend our days is how we spend our lives.” I’d add, What we decide—and try to avoid deciding—is also how we spend our lives. And that’s why we all need to know more about how to help patients make better decisions.

DESCRIPTION: The most frequent complaint psychotherapists have when working with insurance is the low reimbursement rates, which can be less than half of their normal fee. This issue alone leads many therapists to avoid contracting with insurance, or to resign.  While this is a major pain point, the vast majority of us don’t really understand how plans come up with their reimbursement rates, don’t know how to fight it when a rate drops, and most of us have never asked for a raise. In fact, many of us aren’t aware that raises are possible.
This webinar (appropriate for all therapists nationwide) will help you understand how insurance plans come up with their rates, how to fight rate changes, how to ask for a raise, and ethical and practical considerations when you resign from a health plan.
In this webinar, we’ll answer all your questions about money, including:
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>How health plans determine reimbursement rates (and why your rate may be different than your colleague next door)</li>
<li>Why we don’t (can’t?) band together to fight low reimbursement rates</li>
<li>What’s going on with the recent and sudden rate drops for some out-of-network providers (aka The Data Isight Saga)</li>
<li>Can you get a raise from a health plan? How?</li>
<li>What to say in your raise request &#8212; and common mistakes</li>
<li>What you should think about before resigning</li>
<li>The steps you&#8217;ll need to take to resign (and some common mistakes that can be costly)</li>
<li>How to ethically handle clients when you leave their plan</li>
</ul>

Understanding Insurance Rates, Raises, and Resigning

Show Me The Money! Understanding Insurance Rates, Raises, and Resigning

<iframe loading="lazy" title="Klein couples intro" src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/954388762?h=1cd170cf17&amp;dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write"></iframe>
<a href="https://www.zurinstitute.com/course-completion-ce-info-ns/">Course completion &amp; CE info</a>
DESCRIPTION: Couples therapy consists of dozens of clinical decisions every hour—hundreds of decisions over the course of each case. Here’s a practical training that will build the skills you need to make these decisions, and to continue fine-tuning your work as you discover each couple’s unique clinical challenges.
Most couples enter therapy with a specific vision of their problems. They may describe themselves as having “anger problems,” “sexual incompatibility” or “trust issues”. A skillful therapist will explore how the clients’ framing of their situation is keeping them stuck–and how they might change that. While looking at the most common topics in couples therapy, Dr. Klein will show you how to identify the powerful client narratives that keep couples stuck in their dysfunctional patterns.
Couples typically want to talk about content—who’s doing or saying the wrong thing regarding money, parenting, sex, or whatever. In contrast, the most effective therapy addresses couples’ processes—and when couples learn that perspective and face who they are, they can frequently address their content problems themselves. That’s effective therapy.
In an action-packed two-and-a-half hours, you’ll learn how to:
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Establish a therapeutic contract (and how to use it if you get stuck later in the therapy);</li>
<li>Build communication skills (and see why many couples DON’T have a “communication problem”);</li>
<li>Teach conflict management skills (and end those deadly “fight of the week” sessions);</li>
<li>Use narratives &amp; reframing to change couples’ self-limiting stories about who they are; and</li>
<li>Deal with infidelity (and discover why you might want to tell some couples that they’re not ready to reconcile when they think they are).</li>
</ul>
In this intermediate-level training you’ll learn how to teach couples the skills they need in order to grow and change—and help them overcome their resistance to that very growing and changing. You’ll be a more effective couples therapist, with better clinical outcomes—while enjoying this challenging, fascinating work more.
Dr. Klein will include frequent references to actual couples’ cases, and occasional brief role-plays applying various interventions. There will be plenty of time for questions, including discussions of participants’ cases. And as Marty’s world-wide audiences know, you’ll laugh while you learn—guaranteed!

Working With Couples: Getting Better Outcomes By Working Deeper

Demystifying ACT – Session 1

Demystifying ACT – Session 2

For those unable to attend either session, a recording will be available no later than 5 days after each session.
<a href="https://www.zurinstitute.com/course-completion-ce-info-s/">Course completion &amp; CE info</a>
DESCRIPTION: 
Developed by Steven C. Hayes in the 1980s, ACT focuses on helping people accept their thoughts and feelings rather than fighting or feeling guilty for them. Incorporating ACT into your treatment approach will have a significant impact on your clinical effectiveness and the well-being of your clients. Because ACT takes a different perspective on psychotherapy, some clinicians wonder how to blend the applications into their own therapy approach. Other clinicians who have embraced the ACT concepts still have questions about certain aspects of the therapy.
Join Dr. Moran, author, ACT Trainer and Board Certified Behavior Analyst for an immersive and transformative workshop on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, designed to demystify the ACT concepts and equip you with powerful tools to enhance your therapeutic practice.
Kick off the training with a comprehensive introduction to ACT, including participation in engaging exercises to deepen your learning. Dive into key ACT metaphors such as &#8220;Feeding the Baby Tiger&#8221; and &#8220;Chinese Handcuffs&#8221; to explore the principles of acceptance and committed action. Reflect on personal commitment challenges and how to navigate them effectively.
Engage with interactive discussions and exercises to master ACT techniques and present-moment awareness. Participate in the &#8220;Take Mind for a Walk&#8221; exercise and a mindfulness session with &#8220;Leaves on the Stream.&#8221;
Explore self-as-context through metaphors and exercises, as well as values clarification activities. Learn to differentiate goals from values and address values conflicts, paving the way for effective therapeutic outcomes.
Don’t miss this opportunity to enhance your skills and bring powerful ACT techniques into your therapeutic practice. Register now to secure your spot!
NOTE: This two-part training is a precursor to an optional skills practice training to be held November 1st.
