Finding Your Routes of Safety Featuring Guest Speaker: Jack Ernst, MSW RSW
Jake is the developer of the Routes of Safety model. The Routes of Safety model is built on the belief that feeling safe is an essential treatment for those who have experienced various forms of hurt or trauma. Trauma changes and compromises our ability to feel safe within ourselves and the Routes of Safety was built to assist people in gaining more access to a felt sense of emotional safety.
In this workshop, participants will be introduced to the eight Routes of Safety and participants will gain a thorough understanding of each pillar and how it can be applied to our therapeutic work with clients. Participants will come away with an in-depth understanding of a process that Jake calls ‘safety-seeking’ and how this impacts our perceptions of safety. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of how this nervous system informed framework can be used to enhance or explore the felt sense of safety.
For more information, you can read about Jake’s Routes of Safety model in this article for Healthline: "Move Over, Love Languages: Do You Know Your 'Route of Safety'?" https://bit.ly/3joze2t

Trauma-Informed Dance Movement Therapy Featuring Guest Speaker: Ilene Serlin Ph.D, BC-DMT
The rising tide of suffering, displacement and natural disasters calls for expanded available human services. Creative and mind/body approaches to working with trauma and PTSD can complement available services with cost-effective and humane methods. This workshop will focus on understanding how working with the body through expressive movement can promote resilience and help heal from trauma, using examples from the United States, Israel, Jordan,Turkey and China.
The experience of trauma is contained in the body and has been described as speechless terror (Van der Kolk, 1987). Therefore, nonverbal and symbolic approaches are needed to address this speechless terror in the body. Trauma is also a crisis of mortality, meaning and identity; therefore, there is a need for existential perspectives to work with these crises of meaning.
Trauma is also about stuckness and numbness, an inability to play; therefore, there is a need for creative, imaginal, movement and emotional approaches to help stuck places begin to flow again. Trauma is also about fragmentation; therefore, there is a need for approaches that build connection, integration, and transitions.
The movement arts can provide creative ways to bring relief and to ease some of the human suffering associated with trauma. The ability to shape raw affect into symbolic meaning builds safety and regulates emotions. The act of creativity builds on courage, risk taking, confidence, and strength, and it gives the participant a sense of mastery. The therapeutic use of imagery, whether visual, auditory or kinesthetic, can help one communicate this experience. The arts
provide nonverbal and symbolic ways to express trauma, helping to re-integrate broken parts of the self, the psyche, and the community, and evoke images of wholeness.
This workshop will introduce participants to the theory, application and practices of KinAesthetic Imagining, a form of dance movement therapy, to promote resilience and work with trauma. For a group, participants will learn the physical embodiments of: Safe space, grounding, centering, creating boundaries, moving into space and connecting with others.
Participants will learn techniques and contraindications for reducing anxiety, building strength, increasing bodily awareness and expressiveness, and building supportive relationships in the group. These approaches build on current approaches to treating trauma by adding tools that bring the body, symbolic movement, movement through space and the creative process into the healing process.
We will explore both theory and practice to apply this work as clinicians, to reduce compassion fatigue, build resilience and posttraumatic growth, and increase self-care.

Technological Innovations for Psychological Interventions Featuring Guest Speaker: Dr. Paul Frewen
The use of technology in psychotherapy for trauma is quickly becoming mainstream, especially in the post-COVID era. In this presentation we will discuss and demo a number of cutting edge web based assessments and interventions, and focus in detail on virtual reality (VR) and EEG neurofeedback (NFB). Regarding VR, we will preview its novel integrative application beyond exposure therapy, that is, VR Integrative Therapy (VRIT). We will also introduce the use of 360 videography in psychotherapy. Regarding NFB, we will focus on the use of wearables such as the Muse headset and MyndLift app, as well as VR applications to NFB, and the Meditation/Medicine Integrations with Neuromodulation Design (MIND). All approaches are potentially delivered via remote means, via the web.

When Words Fail: Expressive Arts Therapy Approaches to Loss and Grief
Featuring Guest Speaker: Cher Curshen
This one day workshop will provide participants with expressive arts interventions for therapeutic work with children, adults and families, as well as an understanding of these interventions.
When words fail us, expressive arts therapy cultivates curiosity and openness and the possibility to discover something new and unexpected, making visible what is often invisible and beyond words. Carl Jung stated that, “Often the hands will solve a mystery that the intellect has struggled with in vain” (Jung, 1989). It points to the use of expressive arts therapy and creative outlets to shift the focus from problem to the realm of imagery, narrative, sound and movement where our creativity and hands may help us to find a way forward towards healing.
In this workshop, you’ll experience a highly interactive content including demonstration and practical application of expressive art interventions known to activate healing from grief, anticipatory grief and loss.
After participation in this workshop, participants will be able to:

Sandtray Therapy Across the Lifespan with Kelly Smith
This interactive workshop will introduce participants to how sandtray can be used in therapy across the lifespan.
Sand tray is a sensory experience that promotes integration and helps resolve inner conflicts. It allows for the subconscious or things that we have no words for to be expressed in a manner that is titrated and regulating through the sensory aspects of the sand. When we are able to share and have others bear witness this aids with integration. It also allows us to reflect and resolve inner conflicts, unlinked, or dichotomous aspects of ourselves.
Participants will:
