Are you ready to add EMDR Therapy to your practice? Or is it time to update the basic EMDR training you already have?

Then join us this summer in the exciting coastal city of Vancouver for the latest EMDR 5-Day Intensive Training with renowned EMDR trainer/consultant Esta Porter.

Register by July 16, 2024, and you’ll automatically save $100*. Plus, if you use code CPA100, you’ll save an additional $100!

That’s a total savings of $200!

Pay in full OR pay by instalments for ultimate flexibility.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy can make a significant difference when traditional talk therapy doesn’t provide the needed breakthrough for someone struggling with trauma. It helps clients safely process distressing memories by integrating them into their larger, adaptive memory network, alleviating immediate symptoms and fostering long-term healing.

This EMDRIA-approved, 5-day intensive training includes updated information and the latest application techniques, allowing you to offer a more comprehensive and targeted approach to trauma treatment and greatly improve client outcomes. Plus, you’ll learn how to customize treatments for diverse client scenarios, including children, couples, grief, pain, phobias, addictions, and dissociation.

This course also includes 10 hours of post-training consultation, so you can fine-tune your understanding and skills with personalized guidance.

Seating is limited, so register early. Interest-free payment plan available.

*Early Bird registration deadline is 11:59 pm ET on July 16, 2024.

Prolonged Exposure Therapy for PTSD
4-Day Intensive Online Training Workshop – October 24 to 27, 2024

The Centre for Posttraumatic Stress & Anxiety Treatment is pleased to announce a four-day intensive online training workshop in Prolonged Exposure (PE) Therapy for Posttraumatic Stress Disorder.

PE is a manualized cognitive-behavioural treatment for PTSD with an extensive base of empirical support. Numerous controlled studies have shown that PE significantly reduces the symptoms of PTSD in a wide range of trauma survivors. PE is strongly recommended by every major U.S. and international clinical practice guideline for the treatment of PTSD.

Topics covered:
• Assessment, diagnosis and psychopathology of PTSD;
• Empirically-supported psychotherapeutic treatments for chronic PTSD and their comparative efficacy;
• Emotional Processing Theory and its relation to PE;
• Implementation of the components of PE, including psychoeducation, breathing retraining, in vivo exposure to trauma reminders, imaginal exposure to trauma memories, and processing of exposures;
• Identification and management of obstacles to effective emotional processing, including avoidance, over-engagement, and under-engagement;

Video vignettes will illustrate the various components of PE, and participants will have an opportunity to practice selected interventions in pairs during break-out sessions.

Intended audience:
Licensed mental health professionals or those working under the supervision of a licensed mental health professional. Previous training and experience with cognitive-behavioural therapy is strongly advised.

Dates: October 24 to 27, 2024
Location: Online (live) via Zoom
Times: 8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. (Mountain Standard Time)

October 25 & 26, 2024

Please join us for this exciting two-day virtual conference to explore the emerging paradigm of psychedelic psychotherapy. The psychedelic renaissance is in full swing and now more than ever we need to carefully consider how to safely and ethically research and integrate this new paradigm into our healthcare system.

Together we will explore the history, the evidence, a clinical approach and how to integrate psychedelic experiences at multiple levels. This interactive virtual CME conference will include ample time for questions and answers and includes break-out rooms to meet fellow attendees to digest the material together. Together we will delve into the key issues facing the field today. You are welcome to join us for one or both days.

Day 1, Friday, October 25th, 2024 – Psychedelic Psychotherapy: History, Clinical Approach and the Evidence
The first day of the conference will feature a variety of Canadian and International experts in the field of psychedelic psychotherapy. Together we will explore the history of the field, how the therapy is delivered from preparation to integration and the current evidence base with a focus on risks and benefits, and pathways toward legalization for medical use.

Day 2 – Saturday, October 26th, 2026 – Integration: From Individual Healing to Collective Well-being
The second day of the conference will dive deep into the topic of integration, learning what can happen after people take psychedelics and how to best support them. We will explore the neuroscience of the integration period in the brain and why support during this period is critical. We will learn about integration challenges and tools, integration in groups and how to build resilient communities. We will end by examining how the field is grappling with honouring the Indigenous roots of psychedelic medicine.

No prior knowledge or background with psychedelic psychotherapy is necessary to attend and benefit from this educational event. The first day is intended to provide a broad overview of the field and the second day will dive deeper into the advanced topic of psychedelic integration. Members of the community and clinicians from a variety of health disciplines are encouraged to attend.

It is aimed at mental health professionals from various training backgrounds who wish to acquire specialized skills in working with emotions in psychotherapy.

Through these workshops, you will learn evidence-based skills to help you assess specific emotional issues and apply targeted interventions to address them. These skills draw on decades of research on emotions from multiple perspectives, including evolutionary biology and neuroscience, and can be integrated into any psychotherapeutic approach. Video recordings of real therapy sessions will be used to illustrate client processes and interventions.

Each workshop stands alone and registration in both workshops is not required.

For those who are not able to attend the live broadcast, recordings of the workshops will be available for a period of time.

A novel, neurologically based treatment to REALLY help your clients manage symptoms of ADHDClients with ADHD often present with specific symptoms, particularly as organization problems, poor memory, or relationship challenges. Adults in particular present with a desperation to make their lives better, but as therapists we often end up “chasing symptoms”: this session we are addressing organization, next session it’s sleep, the following session it’s poor memory, the session after that it’s back to organization, then on to diet, and so on. Helping adults with ADHD on a longer term basis can be very challenging. That’s where BREAKING THE ADHD CODE comes in.

BREAKING THE ADHD CODE (BTAC) is an online course providing 6 ½ hours of pre-recorded instruction and a 7 hour live webinars, along with free ongoing follow-up classes. BTAC is a systematic, comprehensive program that has arisen out of my model of Adrenaline Addiction in ADHD, which I have been developing over two decades of treating adults with ADHD. There is a 52 minute video introduction to my approach to treating ADHD at [https://btac.cambiumed.ca].

By the end of this course, you will understand:

* Why adults with ADHD keep cycling through different challenges in the therapists office;
* How adrenaline-seeking behaviours stimulate dopamine release, and thus become addictive;
* The impact of the Adrenaline-Dopamine cycle on the lives and mental health of adults with ADHD;
* How the Adrenaline-Dopamine cycle impacts relationships;
* The role of predictable fluctuations in energy, mood and focus in many adults with ADHD;
* How to help adults with ADHD think differently about medication
* Practical, ADHD-specific strategies to address lifestyle factors, including sleep, nutrition, and self-regulation;
* And most importantly, how to use this knowledge to help your ADHD clients make real changes in their lives;

Graduates of the course will be listed on a providers page as someone who has been trained in this approach. Given some complexity in the program, graduates of the course will be able to take the live webinar a second time at no extra cost.

For more information, go to [www.btac.cambiumed.ca] or email [linda@cambiumed.ca].
