</div></figure>This intermediate level course provides an overview of the history, background, and basic principles of three recent trends within existential therapeutic practice — existential-humanistic therapy, existential-integrative therapy, and awe-based humanistic and existential psychology. The reader will learn the history and background of these aforementioned perspectives, some basic principles and research relevant to their application, and some critiques, case conceptualizations, and implications that follow from their application. It is important to note that this course is meant only to provide an overview; for those wanting to know more, I highly recommend the readings listed in the references.
Existential humanism embraces the following three values: (1) freedom (e.g., the capacity to choose), (2) experiential reflection (e.g., the capacity for embodied, here-now awareness), and (3) responsibility (e.g., the capacity to respond to and act on that for which one becomes aware). Freedom to do is generally associated with external, physical decisions, whereas freedom to be is associated with internal, cognitive, and emotional stances. Within these values we have a great capacity to create meaning in our lives – to conceptualize, imagine, invent, communicate, and physically and psychologically enlarge our worlds. We also have the capacity to separate from others, to transcend our past, and to become distinct, unique, and heroic. Conversely, we can choose to restrain ourselves, to become passive, and to conform to others.
This course is composed of four articles and a 1 hour video by the author introducing basic concepts of and latest updates on Existential-Integrative (EI) therapy. The first set of articles provides the basic tenets of an existential-humanistic approach to therapy — the history, background, principles, theorists, trends, and practice of existential-humanistic therapy. It also provides an overview of the experiential liberation strategy of the existential-integrative (EI) model of therapy developed by Kirk Schneider, with the inspiration of Rollo May and James Bugental. The second set of articles furnishes an introduction to the awe-based principles of well being and provides proposals to incorporate awe-based humanistic and existential principles into the settings of education, work, and governance. It also discusses the ways that positive psychology and awe-based humanistic and existential psychology can mutually benefit from each other. The third part presents an introduction and update on Existential-Integrative (EI) Therapy presented by Kirk Schneider to the Alliance of Psychotherapy Training Institutions (APTI), Toronto, Canada in 2017 and a related article titled “The Case for Existential (Spiritual) Therapy”. Additional resources and references are provided for further study, but they are not part of the course.

Existential-Humanistic and Existential-Integrative Therapy: Contemporary Issues

This webinar satisfies requirements for live interactive CE credits for all professions.
DESCRIPTION: Mental health symptoms aren’t always what they seem—fatigue, brain fog, mood swings, panic attacks, and even memory problems can sometimes be signs of underlying medical conditions rather than purely psychological disorders. What if your client’s “treatment-resistant depression” is actually a thyroid disorder? Or their panic attacks are being fueled by undiagnosed heart issues?
As a mental health professional, you’re the first line of defense in helping clients get the care they need—but recognizing when to treat, investigate further, or refer out can be tricky. This practical, eye-opening training will give you the confidence to differentiate medical from psychiatric conditions so you can stop second-guessing, make smarter clinical decisions, and ensure your clients receive the right treatment.
Among the topics covered in this webinar include:
<ul style="font-weight: 400; text-align: left;">
<li>The top medical conditions that masquerade as depression, anxiety, ADHD, and even psychosis</li>
<li>5 key screening questions (+ follow-ups!) to help you determine if symptoms might have a medical cause</li>
<li>When to refer to a medical provider—and how to advocate when medical concerns are dismissed</li>
<li>How sleep, nutrition, and lifestyle factors can mimic or worsen psychiatric symptoms</li>
<li>Real-world case examples to help you apply your knowledge in practice</li>
</ul>
Target audience: This course is appropriate for all mental health professionals
Content level: Introductory/Intermediate

DESCRIPTION: Suicide risk can evoke uncertainty and fear in treatment providers, in part because it is difficult to understand and the stakes are high. In this context, Dr. Klonsky will present his Three-Step-Theory of suicide. The theory offers an explanation for suicide that is evidence-based, concise, widely applicable, and actionable. The webinar will describe the conditions that give rise to suicidal desire, the conditions under which suicidal desire progresses to a potentially lethal suicide attempt, and key causes of suicide risk that can be flexibly monitored and targeted across diverse intervention modalities and contexts. This webinar is designed to be of use to beginner, intermediate, and advanced audiences.
Target audience: This course is appropriate for all mental health professionals

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 homing 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.
Practice portions will be integrated into the sessions.  As part of the practice sessions, participants will 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.

Introduction to Deconstructing Anxiety

This webinar satisfies requirements for live interactive CE credits for all professions.
DESCRIPTION: 
According to a recent meta-analysis completed by the Canadian Psychological Association, the success rate for treating various anxiety disorders is only 46%.  What are we missing?
Behind all anxiety, lies a one of 5 core fears around “universal themes of loss”–that we all share, including:
<ul style="font-weight: 400;">
<li>abandonment (loss of love),</li>
<li>loss of identity,</li>
<li>loss of meaning,</li>
<li>loss of purpose and</li>
<li>fear of death.</li>
</ul>
We develop our primary defenses, usually early in childhood or at times of trauma, as our best attempt to protect ourselves from these fears, but always at too great a cost.  This leaves us constantly holding vigil, on the lookout for the resurfacing of the fear.  We build our entire personality upon this fear-defense dynamic.  When it spins out of control, an anxiety disorder develops.
This webinar, appropriate for all levels, presents an overview of the Deconstructing Anxiety model, a new, evidence-based approach to understanding and treating anxiety.  Incorporating psychodynamics, mindfulness, Gestalt, CBT and transpersonal psychology, Dr. Pressman will introduce unique exercises that enable us to pinpoint the precise mechanism by which the core fear is adopted and reverse its effects.  Doing so not only resolves the initial problem but provides a clear roadmap to what the Deconstructing Anxiety model calls &#8220;Fulfillment&#8221;&#8211;a restoration of an original sense of wholeness and completion that brings meaning and purpose to our lives.
Come prepared for an exciting adventure into the deepest regions of the unconscious, where the hidden fears at the source of our difficulties live, to bring them out into consciousness, available for rapid and lasting transformation.
Target audience: This course is appropriate for all mental health professionals
