Our work in the field of “mental health” is ironically underpinned by the Westernized “medical model of disease.” Our wellness protocols are informed by the philosophy of Cartesian Dualism. In the 1600’s, Rene Descartes, a French philosopher, began describing the separation between the physical matter of the brain and the ethereal reality of the mind. This separation was later reflected in treatment of the mind/brain vs. treatment of the physical body. This is one of the primary tenets distinguishing Eastern medicine from Western medicine. These humble beginnings have expanded into very distinct methods of treating illness and promoting wellness in the United States. We are just now seeing a potential shift back to treating a person as a whole entity, rather than focusing on pieces and parts. This workshop covers several mind-body systems and applies them to mental health work. Because patients/clients come to therapy as a whole person, complete with mental, physical, and spiritual aspects, it is important to be able to engage in holistic case conceptualization to best help them to heal and thrive. It is not helpful to ignore the body as if it exists separately from the brain and mind.

Let’s talk about the elephant in the room! Therapeutic relationships can become complex creating situations that may cross boundaries into dual relationships. Gift giving, bartering, unanticipated circumstances such as social encounters, unavoidably bumping into someone, hugging a client, disclosing personal information: all of these can complicate the therapeutic relationship. When your path crosses your client’s path outside of the therapy room, how do you maintain professional boundaries? What’s recommended in the Code of Ethics? Who is responsible for what? This workshop will explore various types of dual relationships that a clinician may encounter and discuss navigating those relationships in an ethical manner? Scenarios will be presented and explored in discussion. Emphasis will be placed on understanding dual relationships, what the ethics say about them, how to navigate them, and possible consequences of dual relationships. THIS IS A VIRTUAL SYNCHRONOUS WORKSHOP.

Following the “Decade of the Brain” between 1990 and 2000, the professional world was left with a flood of new knowledge about brain function, mind health, and neurological responding to the environment at large. As it turns out, the brain is a structural entity that serves to regulate and manage internal systems, while the self is a created entity that arises from functional energy of brain activity. This “new” knowledge base has continued accruing over the past 20 years and it informs our understanding and practice of mental health.

This workshop covers the use of neurobiology to inform case conceptualization, selection of interventions, and service delivery models. Knowledge of brain health, coupled with technological advances, has enabled access to expanding intervention options that are “new” and exciting. We will explore some of these options and discuss how they can be used to supplement more traditional therapeutic modalities and tenets.
