  Presenter: Marilyn Stickle

  Category 1 | 3 CEUs 

  The importance of intuitively derived information is being increasingly researched and written about in the clinical literature. This workshop will build on the current research and will use case studies from both clinicians’ and patients’ experiences to demonstrate how it works. Though clinicians use it regularly, the lack of conscious effort and awareness of the intuitive process has proven to be an obstacle to its inclusion in academic training.
  
  This course will review the literature and demonstrate how intuition is interwoven in effective clinical practice. The content and process of the workshop is appropriate for all levels of practice.

  Presenters: Gil Bliss and Cathy Roberts

  Category 1 | 3 CEUs 

  What is the therapist’s personal and professional responsibility in recognizing and dissolving racism? What inner work is required to know, own, and confront personal bias? We don’t know what we don’t know. How does your “not knowing” get in your way when working with clients different from you? In this didactic and experiential workshop we will examine the mechanism that maintains racism in the U.S. by reviewing our racialized history, exploring personal and structural privilege and bias, and locating where we each are in identity development using racial identity models. 

  Through this exploration, therapists can increase awareness of unconscious bias that contributes to systemic racial dominance and oppression. 

  Clinicians both new graduated and seasoned can benefit from this workshop.
