Class 1

10:00 AM - 1:00 PM EST

Attachment, Trauma, and Healing Experiential Interventions

Safe, secure and loving parent-child and adult intimate relationships are basic to achieving health and happiness. Early attachment experiences wire connections in the brain, create core beliefs and mindsets, and influence our ability to develop trust, safety, security, emotional closeness, and stability in significant relationships throughout life.
Early developmental trauma, such as abuse, neglect, chaotic family conditions, and abandonment and betrayal, often result in severe anxiety, PTSD, depression, shame, self-contempt, emotional and behavioral dysregulation, toxic and dysfunctional relationships, and medical illnesses. Experiential interventions are effective when treating clients with severe trauma and attachment injuries.
Experiential interventions are meaningful emotional, mental, social and somatic experiences, in a safe and supportive therapeutic setting, that results in the following positive changes and healing:

  • Rewire the traumatized limbic brain.
  • Modify self-destructive core beliefs, attitudes, and narratives.
  • Change trauma-based survival reactions to constructive coping skills.
  • Mitigate trauma-related emotions and behaviors, including anger, fear, loss and grief, shame, aggression, impulsivity and self-harm.
  • Transform anxious and avoidant attachment styles into secure and safe attachments.
  • Utilize constructive communication, problem-solving and conflict-management tools and methods: from rupture to repair.
  • Interrupt destructive intergenerational family dynamics, including abuse, neglect, abandonment, betrayal and disrupted attachment.
  • Change from a victim mindset (powerless, helpless, stuck in the past) to an overcomer identity (confident, empowered, self-accepting, optimistic).

Mind Games Untangled: Advanced Tactics for Overcoming OCD Compulsions

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is the fourth most common mental disorder, affecting approximately 2–3% of the population, with a prevalence of 1 in 40 adults and 1 in 100 children. Given its significant impact, clinicians benefit from specialized training in advanced assessment and treatment skills to better support individuals with OCD and their families.

While behavioral compulsions are often more visible, many individuals report that mental compulsions can be more challenging to address. This course will examine why mental compulsions present unique clinical difficulties and outline evidence-based strategies for effectively targeting them.

Participants will gain both foundational and advanced competencies in the use of Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), with an emphasis on interventions for mental compulsions. The course will further expand on advanced clinical skills for managing complex cases, including a review of atypical and less commonly encountered presentations of OCD.

Instructional methods will include didactic lecture, experiential exercises, case discussions, and interactive Q&A. The course content is applicable across the lifespan, with a primary focus on treatment for individuals ages eighteen and older.

(Trainer - Anna Morgan, LCSW is OCD and Anxiety Disorders specialist working in private practice. Initially CBT-trained clinician. She has been providing ERP-based treatment for many years. She has trained licensed clinicians and students, provided consultation, as well as designed ERP-based programs.)
