SUMMARY:Vicarious Trauma: "It Didn't Happen To Me"
DESCRIPTION:A: What is vicarious trauma? \nB: How do we treat it? \nC: How do we face it? \nVicarious trauma is an occupational challenge for people working and volunteering in the fields of victim services\, therapy\, law enforcement\, emergency medical services\, fire services\, and other allied professions\, due to their continuous exposure to victims of trauma and violence. \nThis work-related trauma exposure can occur from such experiences as listening to individual clients recount their victimization; looking at videos of exploited children; reviewing case files; hearing about or responding to the aftermath of violence and other traumatic events day after day. \n2CE’s\, \n  \n\n\n\n\nThis workshop will give a better understanding of concept\, treatment techniques\, and coping with vicarious trauma oneself. Families come to us with a history of traumatic events within family\, individually and collectively\, as well as trauma across generations. So much exposure to client’s pain impacts the practitioner\, but need not derail effectiveness. \n\n\n\n\nLeland Bissinger is an Adler Graduate School Alumnus who has many years of experience working with systems that struggle with conflict: parental\, parent-child\, divorce\, incarceration\, parent-child separation\, alcohol and drug issues with mental health disorders. His education is in spiritual counseling and psychotherapy. He is licensed by the Board of Marriage and Family Therapy. He has worked in Level 1 Trauma hospitals. Currently he is lead Mental Health Professional (MHP) at Oakridge Residential MICD program for men. There he leads groups\, individual sessions\, and family sessions.

Experiences can lead us to positive and negative perceptions of who we are in relationship to ourselves and others. My goal in therapy is to assist others in gaining a deeper understanding of themselves. \nMy training is based on Adlerian psychotherapy and incorporates many different styles and from other disciplines. I believe that knowledge comes from many areas in our life and seek to utilize knowledge from music\, history\, philosophy\, and art. Healing is an individualized process. I believe that every person has the knowledge and ability for self-healing\, and sometimes we need another person to help as a guide or to provoke new ideas. I respect and encourage the autonomy of every individual that I work with\, and honor the stories shared with me. \nRelationships between others and to ourselves is a collection of stories and memories. Learning to heal begins with being able to connect to certain stories and memories in a new way. Psychedelic assisted psychotherapy offers ways to understand in a profound way so that we can gain greater agency within our lives. Through my training and experience my hope is to bring new and innovative therapies to those struggling with the complexities of life. \nI have worked with many populations of individuals and have focused on Serious and Persistent Mental Health\, LGBTQ issues\, suicidality\, Borderline Personality Disorder\, and individuals with significant trauma histories. \n  \nKyle Keller: Kyle Keller \nMSW\, LICSW \nTherapist\, Co-Founder \nKyle Keller is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW)\, and Certified Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapist by the California Institute of Integrative Therapies (CIIS). He has received his (Parts A-B) certificate for MDMA-Assisted Psychotherapy through the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS). \nKyle has 16 years of experience\, in the field of mental health\, working across a wide variety of settings including crisis clinics\, homeless shelters\, treatment facilities and within jails and prison. He draws inspiration from various psychological and philosophical orientations\, scientific models\, and art forms. He first came across psychedelic research from the 1950s and 1960s while studying transpersonal psychology in his undergraduate psychology program and has since been curious about their implications across multiple domains of knowledge\, including psychology\, philosophy\, history and sociology. Of particular interest\, is the longstanding relationship that human beings have had with psychedelic substances\, and how these may play a role in the shaping of both culture and belief system across cultures and millennia. \nKyle is also a musician\, and aims to deepen his understanding of how music\, art and design can be leveraged to optimize “set and setting” and contribute to the curation of healing experiences. He strives to incorporate creativity and collaboration into every interaction. \nKyle currently practices as a Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapist and plans to help facilitate MDMA and psilocybin therapy as these become available for clinic use. \nKyle has experience working with PTSD\, depression\, anxiety\, LGBTQ mental health and specializes in working with OCD (including religiosity\, and “pure O”). He also enjoys working with spiritual development and existential crises and promoting mental health access to emergency responders. He is trained in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)\, trauma-informed care\, psychodynamic\, transpersonal\, Jungian\, integrative\, interpersonal\, behavioral\, humanistic\, and existential modalities.

SUMMARY:Masculine Protest
DESCRIPTION:Masculine Protest is a tendency attributed especially to the human female in the psychology of Alfred Adler to escape from the female role by assuming a masculine role and by dominating others broadly . \nIt can also be attributed to men as a tendency to compensate for feelings of inferiority or inadequacy by exaggerated overt aggressive behavior. \nAccording to this theory women are typically devalued in comparison to men in many areas of society such as the stigmatization of having a girl baby instead of a boy\, women being compensated less for doing the same job as a man\, and the pressure to look or act a certain way that is deemed culturally appropriate. A woman who is participating in masculine protest is essentially rejecting these socially constructed norms and refusing to participate in things that are considered ‘feminine.’ \n2 CE’s MFT Pending \n\n\nParticipants will be able to recognize\, assess and learn Intervention skills to help their clients and their families with issues of masculine protest. \n\n\nJere Truer\, MA\, has been on the Adler Graduate School faculty since 2004\, and is also an alumnus of the school (1989). Having formerly been on the general faculty until 2012\, he resigned that position and moved over to serve students taking individual and group Didactic. \nJere was in private practice in Uptown Minneapolis from 1992 until 2013\, but has worked in the mental health field in several capacities since 1977. In 2013\, he retired his private practice and moved to Central Colorado where he and his wife have a Bed and Breakfast in the Rocky Mountains just west of Denver. \nBecause of this move\, Jere conducts his individual sessions via Skype\, or via phone if necessary. He does travel to Minnesota\, however\, for the classroom group Didactics. \nJere’s interests and specialties are in trauma\, addictions\, spirituality\, and integrative approaches to healing. He also blends a healthy dollop of Jungian thought\, as well as mythology and literature\, into his Adlerian practice.

SUMMARY:Two Significant Challenges Clinicians Encounter
DESCRIPTION:Over the years\, I have witnessed valuable colleagues and heard stories of excellent professionals burning out and leaving the psychotherapy field. Why? Taking care of oneself as a professional is a most important subject that is too frequently neglected in our training and practice. Using my personal and professional experience along with basic Adlerian concepts\, I will present two major challenges we face in our clinical work\, the battle for structure and the battle for initiative. I will share the structures that are required to keep yourself sane along with some initiatives that will help lift your spirits and put a smile on your face. \nLeftheris Papageorgiou\, M.A.\, L.M.F.T. received his graduate degree in counseling psychology from the Adler University of Chicago. He has been on the core faculty of the Adler Graduate School of Minnesota since 1989. He practiced as a marriage and family therapist both in private clinics and in private practice in Minneapolis and St. Paul for 30 years working with issues of addiction and recovery\, shame and guilt\,depression\, anxiety\, intimacy\, sexuality\, and infertility. He was an adjunct assistant professor in the Chemical Dependency/Family Treatment Training Program at St. Catherine University and adjunct faculty in the Program of Human Sexuality at the University of Minnesota Medical School. He has extensive training in marriage and family therapy and sexuality. \nWhat knowledge will be gained by participants upon completion of the course…\nThe discussion on structure will address such issues as understanding: \nA. how the Adlerian “Life Tasks” relate to work choices \nB. how your family budget and financial goals affect your work decisions \nC. the significance of establishing a professional family outside the workplace for peer consultation with a focus on case presentations to facilitate ongoing learning from one another. \nD. the importance of the first contact between the therapist and the prospective client\, and who decides who the ‘client’ is \nThe discussion on initiatives will address such issues as: \nA. the relevance of “never working harder than your client” \nB. the importance of aligning the therapeutic goals of therapist and client \nC. the significance of genuinely caring for your client as a necessary condition of establishing a therapeutic relationship with your client \nD. clinical traps to avoid \n…and how will it enhance practical skills and/or knowledge? \nParticipants will gain knowledge of these significant challenges by \nA. examining the desired number of direct clinical hours-of-service per week \nB. considering the importance of having a “professional family” \nC. recognizing the importance of establishing clear work expectations with one’s client \nD. understanding a client’s “movement” \nE. understanding and honoring a client’s resistance \nF. learning to avoid the potholes\, e.g.\, being the fixer\, shoulds \nG. being congruent

SUMMARY:Metaphors and Early Recollections in Therapy and Case Consultation
DESCRIPTION:Metaphors are frequently used in daily conversations and often overlooked as a powerful tool for changing people’s perceptions of self\, others and life. This workshop will help therapists identify the metaphors that are used by their clients and by themselves in therapy. People use powerful metaphors to describe their relationships but frequently these metaphors are overlooked by therapists as simply a manner of speaking. Metaphors can provide much insight into a person’s feelings about themselves\, about others and about life. \nThis will be a ninety-minute workshop with the first half focused on a discussion of metaphors and practice identifying metaphors in common use. In addition\, a distinction will be made between metaphoric language and propositional/linear correspondence. \nThe second half of the workshop will focus on a process that can be applied to working with client generated metaphors to help clients understand the importance of their use of metaphors and a way to go from the metaphoric mode of speaking and bridge back to the concrete applications in their current lives. Participants will also have experience applying these same principles to early recollections and in exploring parallel process in case consultation. \n1.5 CE’s MFT pending \n\n\nThis workshop will make participants aware of metaphors in conversations and provide specific framework for delving deeper into meanings behind the metaphors \nParticipants will identify metaphors; use the metaphors to explore images\, sensations and feelings; and apply these images\, sensations and feelings to client’s lives. \nThree types of metaphors will be the focus: metaphors that describe self\, others\, and life in general. \n  \n\n\nJohn Newbauer\, Ed.D.\, is a licensed psychologist currently in practice in the Family Counseling Center in Auburn\, IN.

SUMMARY:Training 2: Self-Regulation Deficits Among Children
DESCRIPTION:Self-regulation abilities are critical to a diverse range of emotional\, behavioral\, social\, and physical health functions. When self-regulation abilities are compromised\, the likelihood of several short- and long-term outcomes such as problematic behaviors and risky decision-making increases. Designed for professionals working in mental health and substance use treatment settings\, this training provides attendees with a working understanding of the causes\, consequences\, and interventions associated with the impact self-regulation deficits have on children. A review of screening and intervention options appropriate for children impacted by self-regulation deficits will be discussed. Other related topics such as effortful control\, attachment disruption\, language deficits\, sensory processing issues\, sleep disturbances\, executive functioning impairments\, adverse childhood experiences (ACEs)\, complex and developmental trauma\, harsh parenting practices\, theory of mind\, mentalization\, joint attention\, social referencing\, prenatal drug and alcohol exposure\, childhood poverty and homelessness\, excessive screentime exposure\, internalizing and externalizing behavioral problems will be examined during this workshop. Empirically based research findings will be highlighted throughout this training. \n  \n\nTraining Objectives: \n1. Define self-regulation and other related topics \n2.
