Workshop Description:<\/strong>
\nThis workshop introduces clinicians to the concept of psychological flexibility, which is the cornerstone of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Psychological flexibility refers to an individual\u2019s ability to stay present, open, and engaged in meaningful life actions, even in the face of difficult emotions or thoughts. Research consistently links psychological flexibility to better mental health and life satisfaction, making it a critical skill for therapists to foster in their clients. This course aims to provide practical tools for clinicians to help clients increase their psychological flexibility, enabling them to face life\u2019s challenges with resilience and adaptability.<\/p>\nLearning Objectives:<\/strong>
\nAt the end of this Workshop, participants will be able to:
\n– Understand the concept of psychological flexibility and its relevance to mental health.
\n– Understand the role of experiential avoidance in mental health struggles.
\n– Learn how to use ACT-based interventions to increase clients\u2019 acceptance, cognitive defusion, perspective taking, values, being present and committed action processes.
\n– Infuse compassion into ACT practice.
\n– Explore techniques to support their own psychological flexibility as clinicians, which enhances their capacity for empathy, resilience, and effective therapy.<\/p>\nPresenter:<\/strong>

Workshop Description<\/strong>
\nClinicians who work with attachment trauma face a profound paradox daily: their most wounded clients desperately need connection to heal, yet connection is precisely what most triggers them. Yet, despite widespread knowledge of attachment theory, clinicians lack specific moment-to-moment interventions for its use in clinical work. Faced with hypervigilant, dissociated, or dysregulated clients, they find themselves without systematic methods to heal the attachment aspect of attachment trauma.<\/p>\nAEDP\u2019s revolutionary solution is an empirically supported methodology that uses attachment itself to heal attachment wounding. AEDP bridges the gap between attachment research and clinical practice, offering concrete techniques that create healing from the very first session on: (i) the systematic undoing of patients\u2019 aloneness in the face of overwhelming emotion\u2014the core mechanism underlying all attachment trauma\u2014through dyadic affect regulation and experiential relational processing work with the here-and-now experience of the therapeutic relationship; (ii) the systematic cultivation of receptive affective experiences\u2014clients\u2019 capacity to actually take in and internalize care, understanding, and love that is being offered; (iii) relational metatherapeutic processing, the last step in the rewiring of the internal working model.<\/p>\n
For clients, this means moving from experiencing \u201cattachment as threat\u201d to \u201cattachment as sanctuary\u201d\u2014often for the first time, experiencing what it feels like to exist safely in someone\u2019s heart and mind.<\/p>\n
Learning Objectives<\/strong>
\nAt the end of this Workshop, participants will be able to:<\/p>\n– Utilize three different types of interventions that utilize attachment to treat attachment trauma
\n– Define receptive affective experiences and describe how make use of them to enhance the effectiveness of your therapeutic empathy
\n– Investigate three different types of interventions used in AEDP to undo aloneness
\n– Apply the concept of relational processing in psychotherapy sessions with traumatized clients
\n– Evaluate three different types of receptive affective experiences
\n– Apply the technique of relational metaprocessing to consolidate and expand changes in clients\u2019 internal working models<\/p>\n
Presenter<\/strong>
\nDiana Fosha, PhD, is the developer of AEDP\u00ae, a healing-oriented, radically relational experiential psychotherapy to transform trauma, heal attachment wounds, and help people connect to their vitality. Founder and director of the AEDP Institute and on the Faculty at Mount Sinai\u2019s Icahn School of Medicine in New York City, her work sits at the cutting edge of transformational theory and radically relational clinical practice. For over two decades, she has pioneered the integration of affective neuroscience, attachment theory, positive neuroplasticity, and recognition science into a coherent, evidence-based framework for healing trauma and attachment wounds \u2014 and for catalyzing what she terms \u201cquantum change\u201d in patients\u2019 lives. AEDP\u2019s central commitment is the transformation of emotional suffering into flourishing. She is author of The Transforming Power of Affect (2000); Undoing Aloneness: The Transformation of Suffering into Flourishing. AEDP 2.0 (2021); and, with Karen Pando-Mars, Tailoring Treatment to Attachment Patterns: Healing Trauma in Relationship (2025). Her live clinical work, showing her pioneering techniques for creating corrective relational experiences that rewire attachment patterns, has been published by the APA (American Psychological Association) in five videos, including one following a complete course of AEDP therapy and one devoted to clinical supervision. Many of her articles can be found at www.aedpinstitute.org.<\/p>\nEARLY-BIRD DEADLINE: November 13, 2026<\/strong><\/p>\nStudent and group-rates are available.<\/p>\n

\nOctober 1\u20132, 2026 | Online via Zoom | 10:00 am\u20135:00 pm ET (7:00 am\u20133:00 pm PT)<\/p>\n

\nJoin Drs. Skye Fitzpatrick and Rachel Liebman for a two-day workshop providing an overview of the Sage protocol; a new couple-based psychotherapy for couples wherein one partner experiences borderline personality disorder (BPD), suicidal or self-injurious behaviour, or emotion dysregulation.<\/p>\nWhat is Sage?
\nSage is a 12-session treatment that integrates principles of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioural Conjoint Therapy (CBCT). Its unique focus targets three domains simultaneously:
\n\u00b7 BPD symptoms and emotion dysregulation
\n\u00b7 Relationship functioning
\n\u00b7 Partner mental health<\/p>\n
To our knowledge, Sage is the only couple intervention designed to treat BPD\/emotion dysregulation that has been formally manualized and tested. Pilot results are showing promising effects (Read more here, here, and here) and a large-scale RCT is currently underway.<\/p>\n
What will I learn?
\nThrough a mix of lecture, case material, and audience role plays, workshop participants will learn a collection of strategies to reduce BPD, suicidality, and relationship distress including:<\/p>\n
1. Couple case formulation of processes that maintain BPD and suicidality
\n2. Dyadic strategies to manage safety, regulate emotions, and interrupt life-threatening behavior and high-intensity conflict
\n3. Techniques to facilitate interpersonal emotion regulation and effective communication.
\n4. Strategies to address destructive intrapersonal (e.g., self-harm) and interpersonal (e.g., conflict) behaviours.
\n5. Adapted interventions for couples with a range of backgrounds and relationship structures.<\/p>\n
By the end, you will leave with concrete skills to disrupt harmful cycles, enhance emotional communication, and promote long-term gains in couples impacted by BPD and emotion dysregulation.<\/p>\n
Who should attend:
\nClinicians with experience in either couple\/family therapy or the treatment of BPD\/emotion dysregulation. (Expertise in both is helpful but not required.)
\nSkill level: Intermediate\u2013Advanced<\/p>\n
Learning Objectives (abbreviated):
\n1. Identify suitable candidates for the Sage protocol.
\n2. Understand the evidence for involving partners in BPD treatment.
\n3. Develop and deliver dyadic case formulations.
\n4. Apply strategies for risk assessment, safety planning, and conflict management.
\n5. Reduce maladaptive interpersonal contingencies that sustain suicidality\/self-harm.
\n6. Build skills for addressing challenges such as therapeutic ruptures and adherence.
\n7. Apply techniques to promote intrapersonal and interpersonal safety, dyadic emotion regulation, and sustained treatment gains.

Presented by Dr. Serine Warwar<\/p>\n
This intensive four-day Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) Certification Training teaches the foundational knowledge and practical skills to work effectively with emotion in psychotherapy. Participants will learn to identify different types of emotional processes and understand their role in psychological distress, and use evidence-based, marker-guided interventions to facilitate meaningful and lasting change. <\/p>\n
EFT is a well-established, evidence-based approach that views emotional change as the key to lasting therapeutic change. By helping clients transform maladaptive emotional patterns through the activation of adaptive emotions within a strong empathic therapeutic relationship, EFT promotes emotional resilience, a stronger sense of self, and healthier relationships. <\/p>\n
This experiential training combines lectures, video demonstrations, case discussions, and extensive supervised practice in small breakout groups, allowing participants to develop confidence in applying EFT interventions from the very beginning. <\/p>\n
Through this intensive training participants will learn to: <\/p>\n
-Identify different types of emotions and emotional processes and how to intervene: adaptive, maladaptive, instrumental, secondary. <\/p>\n
-Provide emotion psychoeducation to clients and give rationales about the therapy change process. <\/p>\n
-Recognize in-session markers and their corresponding interventions. <\/p>\n
-Facilitate the Principles of Emotion Change (utilize, regulate and transform emotion). <\/p>\n
-Use the different types of empathic responses and understand their function. <\/p>\n
-Engage in collaborative case formulation in EFT and following the client\u2019s core pain. <\/p>\n
-Recognize Problematic Reactions and use the Intervention of Systematic Evocative Unfolding <\/p>\n
-Use the Focusing intervention to deepen emotional experience. <\/p>\n
-Work with Self-Criticism using the 2-Chair Intervention for Self-Criticism. <\/p>\n
-Work with Unfinished Business using the Empty Chair Intervention. <\/p>\n
-Work with avoidance and blocking using the 2 Chair Enactment for Self-Interruption. <\/p>\n
-Learn how to recognize a vulnerability marker. <\/p>\n
Who should attend: Licensed psychologists, registered psychotherapists, social workers, marriage and family therapists, counsellors, other regulated mental health professionals, and graduate students in a clinical or counselling program. <\/p>\n

Workshop Description:<\/strong>
\nThis workshop introduces clinicians to the concept of psychological flexibility, which is the cornerstone of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Psychological flexibility refers to an individual\u2019s ability to stay present, open, and engaged in meaningful life actions, even in the face of difficult emotions or thoughts. Research consistently links psychological flexibility to better mental health and life satisfaction, making it a critical skill for therapists to foster in their clients.

\nAt the end of this Workshop, participants will be able to:
\n– Understand the concept of psychological flexibility and its relevance to mental health.
\n– Understand the role of experiential avoidance in mental health struggles.
\n– Learn how to use ACT-based interventions to increase clients\u2019 acceptance, cognitive defusion, perspective taking, values, being present and committed action processes.
\n– Infuse compassion into ACT practice.
\n– Explore techniques to support their own psychological flexibility as clinicians, which enhances their capacity for empathy, resilience, and effective therapy.<\/p>\nPresenter:<\/strong>

Workshop Description<\/strong>
\nClinicians who work with attachment trauma face a profound paradox daily: their most wounded clients desperately need connection to heal, yet connection is precisely what most triggers them. Yet, despite widespread knowledge of attachment theory, clinicians lack specific moment-to-moment interventions for its use in clinical work. Faced with hypervigilant, dissociated, or dysregulated clients, they find themselves without systematic methods to heal the attachment aspect of attachment trauma.<\/p>\nAEDP\u2019s revolutionary solution is an empirically supported methodology that uses attachment itself to heal attachment wounding. AEDP bridges the gap between attachment research and clinical practice, offering concrete techniques that create healing from the very first session on: (i) the systematic undoing of patients\u2019 aloneness in the face of overwhelming emotion\u2014the core mechanism underlying all attachment trauma\u2014through dyadic affect regulation and experiential relational processing work with the here-and-now experience of the therapeutic relationship; (ii) the systematic cultivation of receptive affective experiences\u2014clients\u2019 capacity to actually take in and internalize care, understanding, and love that is being offered; (iii) relational metatherapeutic processing, the last step in the rewiring of the internal working model.<\/p>\n
For clients, this means moving from experiencing \u201cattachment as threat\u201d to \u201cattachment as sanctuary\u201d\u2014often for the first time, experiencing what it feels like to exist safely in someone\u2019s heart and mind.<\/p>\n
Learning Objectives<\/strong>
\nAt the end of this Workshop, participants will be able to:<\/p>\n– Utilize three different types of interventions that utilize attachment to treat attachment trauma
\n– Define receptive affective experiences and describe how make use of them to enhance the effectiveness of your therapeutic empathy
\n– Investigate three different types of interventions used in AEDP to undo aloneness
\n– Apply the concept of relational processing in psychotherapy sessions with traumatized clients
\n– Evaluate three different types of receptive affective experiences
\n– Apply the technique of relational metaprocessing to consolidate and expand changes in clients\u2019 internal working models<\/p>\n
Presenter<\/strong>
\nDiana Fosha, PhD, is the developer of AEDP\u00ae, a healing-oriented, radically relational experiential psychotherapy to transform trauma, heal attachment wounds, and help people connect to their vitality. Founder and director of the AEDP Institute and on the Faculty at Mount Sinai\u2019s Icahn School of Medicine in New York City, her work sits at the cutting edge of transformational theory and radically relational clinical practice. For over two decades, she has pioneered the integration of affective neuroscience, attachment theory, positive neuroplasticity, and recognition science into a coherent, evidence-based framework for healing trauma and attachment wounds \u2014 and for catalyzing what she terms \u201cquantum change\u201d in patients\u2019 lives. AEDP\u2019s central commitment is the transformation of emotional suffering into flourishing. She is author of The Transforming Power of Affect (2000); Undoing Aloneness: The Transformation of Suffering into Flourishing. AEDP 2.0 (2021); and, with Karen Pando-Mars, Tailoring Treatment to Attachment Patterns: Healing Trauma in Relationship (2025). Her live clinical work, showing her pioneering techniques for creating corrective relational experiences that rewire attachment patterns, has been published by the APA (American Psychological Association) in five videos, including one following a complete course of AEDP therapy and one devoted to clinical supervision. Many of her articles can be found at www.aedpinstitute.org.<\/p>\nEARLY-BIRD DEADLINE: November 13, 2026<\/strong><\/p>\nStudent and group-rates are available.<\/p>\n

\nOctober 1\u20132, 2026 | Online via Zoom | 10:00 am\u20135:00 pm ET (7:00 am\u20133:00 pm PT)<\/p>\n
Registration link: https:\/\/www.liebmanpsychology.com\/event-list<\/a>
\nJoin Drs. Skye Fitzpatrick and Rachel Liebman for a two-day workshop providing an overview of the Sage protocol; a new couple-based psychotherapy for couples wherein one partner experiences borderline personality disorder (BPD), suicidal or self-injurious behaviour, or emotion dysregulation.<\/p>\nWhat is Sage?
\nSage is a 12-session treatment that integrates principles of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioural Conjoint Therapy (CBCT). Its unique focus targets three domains simultaneously:
\n\u00b7 BPD symptoms and emotion dysregulation
\n\u00b7 Relationship functioning
\n\u00b7 Partner mental health<\/p>\n
To our knowledge, Sage is the only couple intervention designed to treat BPD\/emotion dysregulation that has been formally manualized and tested. Pilot results are showing promising effects (Read more here, here, and here) and a large-scale RCT is currently underway.<\/p>\n
What will I learn?
\nThrough a mix of lecture, case material, and audience role plays, workshop participants will learn a collection of strategies to reduce BPD, suicidality, and relationship distress including:<\/p>\n
1. Couple case formulation of processes that maintain BPD and suicidality
\n2. Dyadic strategies to manage safety, regulate emotions, and interrupt life-threatening behavior and high-intensity conflict
\n3. Techniques to facilitate interpersonal emotion regulation and effective communication.
\n4. Strategies to address destructive intrapersonal (e.g., self-harm) and interpersonal (e.g., conflict) behaviours.
\n5. Adapted interventions for couples with a range of backgrounds and relationship structures.<\/p>\n
By the end, you will leave with concrete skills to disrupt harmful cycles, enhance emotional communication, and promote long-term gains in couples impacted by BPD and emotion dysregulation.<\/p>\n
Who should attend:
\nClinicians with experience in either couple\/family therapy or the treatment of BPD\/emotion dysregulation. (Expertise in both is helpful but not required.)
\nSkill level: Intermediate\u2013Advanced<\/p>\n
Learning Objectives (abbreviated):
\n1. Identify suitable candidates for the Sage protocol.
\n2. Understand the evidence for involving partners in BPD treatment.
\n3. Develop and deliver dyadic case formulations.
\n4. Apply strategies for risk assessment, safety planning, and conflict management.
\n5. Reduce maladaptive interpersonal contingencies that sustain suicidality\/self-harm.
\n6. Build skills for addressing challenges such as therapeutic ruptures and adherence.
\n7. Apply techniques to promote intrapersonal and interpersonal safety, dyadic emotion regulation, and sustained treatment gains.

Presented by Dr. Serine Warwar<\/p>\n
This intensive four-day Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) Certification Training teaches the foundational knowledge and practical skills to work effectively with emotion in psychotherapy. Participants will learn to identify different types of emotional processes and understand their role in psychological distress, and use evidence-based, marker-guided interventions to facilitate meaningful and lasting change. <\/p>\n
EFT is a well-established, evidence-based approach that views emotional change as the key to lasting therapeutic change. By helping clients transform maladaptive emotional patterns through the activation of adaptive emotions within a strong empathic therapeutic relationship, EFT promotes emotional resilience, a stronger sense of self, and healthier relationships. <\/p>\n
This experiential training combines lectures, video demonstrations, case discussions, and extensive supervised practice in small breakout groups, allowing participants to develop confidence in applying EFT interventions from the very beginning. <\/p>\n
Through this intensive training participants will learn to: <\/p>\n
-Identify different types of emotions and emotional processes and how to intervene: adaptive, maladaptive, instrumental, secondary. <\/p>\n
-Provide emotion psychoeducation to clients and give rationales about the therapy change process. <\/p>\n
-Recognize in-session markers and their corresponding interventions. <\/p>\n
-Facilitate the Principles of Emotion Change (utilize, regulate and transform emotion). <\/p>\n
-Use the different types of empathic responses and understand their function. <\/p>\n
-Engage in collaborative case formulation in EFT and following the client\u2019s core pain. <\/p>\n
-Recognize Problematic Reactions and use the Intervention of Systematic Evocative Unfolding <\/p>\n
-Use the Focusing intervention to deepen emotional experience. <\/p>\n
-Work with Self-Criticism using the 2-Chair Intervention for Self-Criticism. <\/p>\n
-Work with Unfinished Business using the Empty Chair Intervention. <\/p>\n
-Work with avoidance and blocking using the 2 Chair Enactment for Self-Interruption. <\/p>\n
-Learn how to recognize a vulnerability marker. <\/p>\n
Who should attend: Licensed psychologists, registered psychotherapists, social workers, marriage and family therapists, counsellors, other regulated mental health professionals, and graduate students in a clinical or counselling program. <\/p>\n

AEDP bridges the gap between attachment research and clinical practice, offering concrete techniques that create healing from the very first session on: (i) the systematic undoing of patients\u2019 aloneness in the face of overwhelming emotion\u2014the core mechanism underlying all attachment trauma\u2014through dyadic affect regulation and experiential relational processing work with the here-and-now experience of the therapeutic relationship; (ii) the systematic cultivation of receptive affective experiences\u2014clients\u2019 capacity to actually take in and internalize care, understanding, and love that is being offered; (iii) relational metatherapeutic processing, the last step in the rewiring of the internal working model.<\/p>\n For clients, this means moving from experiencing \u201cattachment as threat\u201d to \u201cattachment as sanctuary\u201d\u2014often for the first time, experiencing what it feels like to exist safely in someone\u2019s heart and mind.<\/p>\n Learning Objectives<\/strong> – Utilize three different types of interventions that utilize attachment to treat attachment trauma Presenter<\/strong> EARLY-BIRD DEADLINE: November 13, 2026<\/strong><\/p>\n Student and group-rates are available.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Living Sky EMDR Training Academy <\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Live webinar series: Certificate for new supervisors: Supervisor training for health and human services professionals with Susan Geary, PhD and Marion Langford, M.Ed.<\/p>\n Supervision and leadership in the helping professions come with unique challenges that require tailored solutions.

Participants will learn to identify different types of emotional processes and understand their role in psychological distress, and use evidence-based, marker-guided interventions to facilitate meaningful and lasting change. <\/p>\n EFT is a well-established, evidence-based approach that views emotional change as the key to lasting therapeutic change.

\nThis workshop introduces clinicians to the concept of psychological flexibility, which is the cornerstone of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Psychological flexibility refers to an individual\u2019s ability to stay present, open, and engaged in meaningful life actions, even in the face of difficult emotions or thoughts. Research consistently links psychological flexibility to better mental health and life satisfaction, making it a critical skill for therapists to foster in their clients. This course aims to provide practical tools for clinicians to help clients increase their psychological flexibility, enabling them to face life\u2019s challenges with resilience and adaptability.<\/p>\n
\nAt the end of this Workshop, participants will be able to:
\n– Understand the concept of psychological flexibility and its relevance to mental health.
\n– Understand the role of experiential avoidance in mental health struggles.
\n– Learn how to use ACT-based interventions to increase clients\u2019 acceptance, cognitive defusion, perspective taking, values, being present and committed action processes.
\n– Infuse compassion into ACT practice.
\n– Explore techniques to support their own psychological flexibility as clinicians, which enhances their capacity for empathy, resilience, and effective therapy.<\/p>\n
\nDiana Hill, PhD, is a highly regarded clinical psychologist, podcast host and author of I Know I Should Exercise But\u2026,The Self-Compassion Daily Journal, The ACT Daily Journal, and the upcoming book Wise Effort. She currently provides therapy, supervision, corporate coaching and online training in ACT. Host of popular podcast, Wise Effort, Dr. Hill has interviewed over a hundred experts in evidence-based and integrative approaches to living well. She has a knack for unpacking complex, science-based concepts and making them applicable to clinical practice and daily life. <\/p>\n

\nClinicians who work with attachment trauma face a profound paradox daily: their most wounded clients desperately need connection to heal, yet connection is precisely what most triggers them. Yet, despite widespread knowledge of attachment theory, clinicians lack specific moment-to-moment interventions for its use in clinical work. Faced with hypervigilant, dissociated, or dysregulated clients, they find themselves without systematic methods to heal the attachment aspect of attachment trauma.<\/p>\n
\nAt the end of this Workshop, participants will be able to:<\/p>\n
\n– Define receptive affective experiences and describe how make use of them to enhance the effectiveness of your therapeutic empathy
\n– Investigate three different types of interventions used in AEDP to undo aloneness
\n– Apply the concept of relational processing in psychotherapy sessions with traumatized clients
\n– Evaluate three different types of receptive affective experiences
\n– Apply the technique of relational metaprocessing to consolidate and expand changes in clients\u2019 internal working models<\/p>\n
\nDiana Fosha, PhD, is the developer of AEDP\u00ae, a healing-oriented, radically relational experiential psychotherapy to transform trauma, heal attachment wounds, and help people connect to their vitality. Founder and director of the AEDP Institute and on the Faculty at Mount Sinai\u2019s Icahn School of Medicine in New York City, her work sits at the cutting edge of transformational theory and radically relational clinical practice. For over two decades, she has pioneered the integration of affective neuroscience, attachment theory, positive neuroplasticity, and recognition science into a coherent, evidence-based framework for healing trauma and attachment wounds \u2014 and for catalyzing what she terms \u201cquantum change\u201d in patients\u2019 lives. AEDP\u2019s central commitment is the transformation of emotional suffering into flourishing. She is author of The Transforming Power of Affect (2000); Undoing Aloneness: The Transformation of Suffering into Flourishing. AEDP 2.0 (2021); and, with Karen Pando-Mars, Tailoring Treatment to Attachment Patterns: Healing Trauma in Relationship (2025). Her live clinical work, showing her pioneering techniques for creating corrective relational experiences that rewire attachment patterns, has been published by the APA (American Psychological Association) in five videos, including one following a complete course of AEDP therapy and one devoted to clinical supervision. Many of her articles can be found at www.aedpinstitute.org.<\/p>\n

\n3. Techniques to facilitate interpersonal emotion regulation and effective communication.
\n4. Strategies to address destructive intrapersonal (e.g., self-harm) and interpersonal (e.g., conflict) behaviours.
\n5. Adapted interventions for couples with a range of backgrounds and relationship structures.<\/p>\n
\nClinicians with experience in either couple\/family therapy or the treatment of BPD\/emotion dysregulation. (Expertise in both is helpful but not required.)
\nSkill level: Intermediate\u2013Advanced<\/p>\n
\n1. Identify suitable candidates for the Sage protocol.
\n2. Understand the evidence for involving partners in BPD treatment.
\n3. Develop and deliver dyadic case formulations.
\n4. Apply strategies for risk assessment, safety planning, and conflict management.
\n5. Reduce maladaptive interpersonal contingencies that sustain suicidality\/self-harm.
\n6. Build skills for addressing challenges such as therapeutic ruptures and adherence.
\n7. Apply techniques to promote intrapersonal and interpersonal safety, dyadic emotion regulation, and sustained treatment gains.
