East Meets Westin Psychotherapy:Freud, Jung and Buddha

18CE’s

9:00am-4:30pm Two all day workshops

Karen Kissel Wegela, PhD (6 CE’s) Contemplative Psychotherapy: A Buddhist Approach to Therapeutic RelationshipsContemplative Psychotherapy draws on Buddhist psychological principles and is based on the view of “Brilliant Sanity.” This inherent nature of wakefulness, compassion, and openness is usually obscured by habitual patterns of confusion, leading to unnecessary suffering. As counselors and psychotherapists, we already know a great deal about psychological suffering and confusion. Con-templative Psychotherapy provides us with an approach that helps us to recognize and cultivate positive, wakeful qualities in ourselves and in our therapy clients, without sacrificing a healthy respect for psychological difficulties.

In this workshop the emphasis will be on the creation of genuine therapeutic relationships. You will learn how to recognize and support the qualities of brilliant sanity. The techniques of mindful-ness-awareness meditation and practices that cultivate loving-kindness, compassion, empathetic joy, and equanimity (the traditional Buddhist “immeasurables”) will be introduced. We will practice how to be fully present, work with interdependence, and cultivate accurate empathy. The work-shop will include experiential exercises.

Pamela Harmell, PhD (6 CE’s) Don’t Be Scared…Be Prepared: Legal and Ethical Updates in PsychologyThis workshop will address various complex ethical dilemmas such as protecting one’s online rep-utation (ie. Yelp, Linkedin, etc.), specific areas of confidentiality such as professional coaching and working with addictions and recovery, ethical issues related to AIDS/HIV and diversity sexual and non-sexual multiple relationships, and client termination and making a professional will. Literature updates, along with relevant Codes of Ethics and current expert opinion on standard of care will be included in all areas of discussion. This program overviews the current research findings and prac-tice knowledge that informs the practice of ethical and legal clinical work. Emphasis will be placed upon prevention of ethical violations.
