This unique course offers an alternative view of autism based on the neurodiversity paradigm. It defines and explains the neurodiversity approach to autism and offers a critique of the mainstream professional and academic discourse on autism, which views autism as a set of deficits, framing many aspects of autism as pathological.
In contrast to the prevalent pathology paradigm of autism, the neurodiversity paradigm frames neurological diversity as a form of human diversity that is subject to the same sorts of social dynamics that occur in diversity of race, culture, gender, or sexual orientation. Seen through the lens of the neurodiversity paradigm, the pathologizing of autistic people is viewed as a manifestation of the similar patterns of social power and prejudice that once led to the pathologizing of gay and lesbian people.
This intermediate-level course, including audios, videos and articles, was developed by a leading autistic scholar and educator. It begins with an explanation of autism, which is different than the pathologizing or DSM approach to Autism. The second section of the course introduces the neurodiversity paradigm with two articles, a video and an audio interview (transcripts available).This section includes definitions of terms, such as neurodivergence and neurominority. The third section is composed of three articles that critique the framework behind autistic stereotypes and present a new view of autism. The fourth section, containing a video (transcript available) and two articles, discusses important issues that therapists and other professionals need to be aware of when working with neurodivergent clients. Additional resources and references are provided for further study, but they are not part of the course.

This 8-module basic EMDR training will include everything you need to know to begin using EMDR effectively with your clients. Throughout this immersive training, participants will learn the intricacies of EMDR therapy, gaining invaluable insights and practical skills to effectively address trauma and promote healing in their clients.
Participants begin the training by exploring foundational EMDR framework elements, discussing treatment goals, and honing in on the history-taking phase and preparation phases of EMDR. 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. Throughout the 8-module training program, participants will not only acquire practical skills and theoretical knowledge but also cultivate a deeper understanding of trauma-informed care and the transformative power of EMDR therapy.

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.
Target audience: This course is appropriate for all mental health professionals
