Beyond the Basics: Becoming a Kink-Affirming Professional
ID: 5449WEBWhile there has been a far-reaching movement to de-stigmatize the LGBTQ+ community in psychotherapy, the same considerations have not yet been applied to BDSM practitioners. This under-studied population risks great psychological and practical harm in disclosing their kink identity to biased therapists, which, at best, can cause a delay in the therapeutic process and at worst can cause relational trauma for clients who experience this rupture. This webinar will help therapists understand and become better equipped to support their kinky clients through learning key concepts about the BDSM community, discerning the difference between kink and abuse, and become familiar with common clinical concerns and strategies for working with this population.

Psychotherapy and Counseling with Older Adults
ID: 1070WEBThis webinar will dispel the all-too-common assumption that psychotherapy and counseling are not effective treatment modalities with senior adults. Contrary to the belief that seniors are "inflexible and stuck in their ways" as well as having diminished cognitive and reflective capacity, studies indicate that they can benefit as much from these modalities as younger persons, albeit with some different approaches, techniques and goals. In this workshop we will consider the special strengths and challenges of senior adults, the place of their particular life cycle issues and how to understand and use transference, resistance, support and interpretation in working with this population. Many case examples and exercises will be offered. Participants are encouraged to bring cases (without identifying information) for discussion [Elective for Gerontology Certificate Program]
