MODULE TWO: THE HEALER WITHIN
-
For millennia, Indigenous cultures have used psychedelic medicines to access expanded states of consciousness, foster healing, and deepen spiritual connection. Today, modern neuroscience is uncovering parallel discoveries—revealing how these substances may enhance neuroplasticity, creativity, and emotional integration.
This presentation bridges traditional and contemporary perspectives, exploring how psychedelics engage the brain’s “silent synapses” and may facilitate psychological healing and creative insight. Clinicians will gain an understanding of the cultural, neurobiological, and therapeutic dimensions of psychedelic use while examining the ethical considerations and potential risks inherent in both ceremonial and clinical settings.
Learning Objectives
By the end of this presentation, participants will be able to:Discuss potential therapeutic benefits and potential risks of psychedelic use in both clinical and recreational contexts.
Explain three mechanisms by which psychedelics may support improvement in psychiatric disorders.
Describe how psychedelics may enhance creativity and facilitate integrative insight.
Define the term psychoplastogens and its relevance to neuroplasticity.
Identify three Indigenous cultures that utilize psychedelic medicines for healing purposes.
-
Psychoanalysis and theater share a common purpose: illuminating the depths of human nature. From Sophocles to Shakespeare, playwrights have long explored the same psychological truths that Freud later formalized. In this presentation, Dr. Ron Goldman weaves these traditions together through the moving story of a child who learns—slowly and painfully—the cost of avoiding deep emotional truth.
Through storytelling and psychoanalytic reflection, participants will explore how repression, loss, and revelation shape the human experience. This session invites clinicians to consider the parallels between stage and therapy—where both audience and patient are witnesses to the unfolding of inner life—and how creative expression can foster healing and insight.
Learning Objectives
By the end of this program, participants will be able to:Discuss the universal psychological conflict between emotional avoidance and the intrinsic drive toward awareness, expression, and healing.
Identify how storytelling and metaphor can be used to deepen therapeutic understanding of unconscious processes.
Discuss how creative expression and performance can facilitate emotional integration, insight, and healing.
Describe the value of empathy and emotional resonance in clinical work.
-
Narcissism is a complex and pervasive personality pattern that affects individuals, families, and communities across cultures. This presentation examines narcissism through both psychoanalytic and affect-regulation frameworks, illuminating what lies beneath its familiar traits. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of its developmental origins, diagnostic distinctions, and evidence-based strategies for effective treatment. Through this lens, clinicians will explore the humanity beneath the defenses and learn approaches that foster genuine therapeutic change.
Learning Objectives
By the end of this presentation, participants will be able to:Discuss early developmental and relational factors contributing to narcissism.
Differentiate diagnostic criteria among subtypes of narcissistic presentations.
Identify the key elements required for successful and sustainable treatment.
-
Metabolic dysfunction is recognized as a key driver of chronic disease in the U.S., including its significant impact on mental health conditions such as depression and anxiety. As awareness grows around the roles of obesity, insulin resistance, and inflammation in conditions like diabetes, heart disease, and depression, both patients and practitioners are seeking better tools to prevent and manage these issues.
This hands-on workshop bridges the gap between metabolic science and clinical application. Participants will gain practical, evidence-informed tools to assess and support metabolic balance and its role in mental health. Topics include key indicators often available in patient-presented lab results, stages of change, and recommendations for realistic lifestyle changes, and nutritional interventions.
In today’s digital health space, where influencers, biohacking trends, and supplement stacks shape public perception, clinicians and wellness professionals must navigate increasingly complex conversations with better-informed, but often misinformed, patients. This workshop provides the clarity and confidence you need to engage in those discussions as an informed participant.
Whether you work in mental health, social work, or integrative care, this training will empower you to become a more effective advocate for whole-person health.
Learning Objectives: At the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:
Discuss the Stages of Change Model
Identify common signs and symptoms of metabolic imbalance.
List three impactful lifestyle and dietary changes to improve healthcare outcomes.
Discuss three risk factors associated with poor metabolic health, such as obesity, insulin resistance, and inflammation.
Apply lifestyle and nutrition strategies to support metabolic and mental health.
-
This engaging, interdisciplinary workshop examines the emerging concept of cellular memory—the idea that information about lived experience, especially trauma, may be encoded, stored, and retrieved not only in the brain but throughout the body at a cellular level. Drawing from neuroscience, epigenetics, psychobiology, and immunology, this program explores how traumatic experiences may leave lasting imprints in both central and peripheral systems, shaping psychological and physiological functioning.
Participants will investigate mechanisms such as epigenetic modification, immune cell memory, and neural plasticity to understand how trauma can become biologically embedded. Special attention is given to organ transplantation and the compelling reports from transplant recipients who describe unexpected memories, personality shifts, or behavioral changes following surgery, raising important questions about the ways memory and identity may be encoded in cells beyond the brain.
The course also explores compelling parallels in the natural world—how organisms such as bacteria, flatworms, butterflies, and plants encode and transmit information essential for survival. These examples highlight the biological foundations of cellular memory and deepen our understanding of how trauma may be recorded in human physiology even long after the initial threat has passed.
Designed for mental health professionals, this workshop integrates cutting-edge science with clinical application. Emphasis is placed on how understanding cellular memory can inform trauma-informed care, enhance somatic and mind-body interventions, and deepen our grasp of complex symptomology.
Learning Objectives: At the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:
Explain the concept of cellular memory and its mechanisms, including encoding, storing, and retrieving information
Discuss the implications of cellular memory in trauma healing, transplantation medicine.
Discuss the reported experiences of organ transplant recipients and their relevance to theories of cellular memory.
Describe how organisms such as bacteria, flatworms, butterflies, and plants store and transmit memory-related information.
Analyze key research findings including epigenetic modifications, immune cell memory, and neural plasticity.
-
This three-hour workshop explores how clinicians can support older adults in navigating this expanded landscape of opportunity, identity, and psychological development. With longer lifespans, improved health, and greater financial freedom, many individuals in their 50s, 60s, and beyond are redefining what it means to live a purposeful life. The presentation builds on the work of developmental theorists like Erik Erikson, Gene Cohen, and Mary Catherine Bateson to explore how aging can be reframed as a time of creativity, resilience, and contribution.
Participants will examine the psychological and emotional shifts that come with the transition out of traditional work roles, including the potential for boredom, loss of identity, a feeling of being marginalized, and the drive to remain engaged and productive. Through case examples, interactive discussion, and research-based frameworks, clinicians will learn how to help clients consciously craft the next chapter of their lives—whether through revisiting old passions, exploring new vocations, or deepening their legacy.
This program also offers clinicians tools to reflect on their own experiences of aging and resilience, equipping them to support both clients and them-selves in embracing the second half of life with curiosity, clarity, and intention.
Learning Objectives: At the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:
Discuss the differences between traditional concepts of retirement and contemporary views of post-career life.
Discuss the work of Mary Catherine Bateson, corroborating the work of Gene Cohen
Identify at least one concrete clinical strategy for supporting the emotional, cognitive, or other identity needs of aging clients.
Apply workshop content to help clients (and clinicians themselves) cultivate meaning, purpose, and psychological flexibility in later life.
-
In this interdisciplinary workshop, Michael Uebel introduces equanimity as a perceptual and relational stance that supports deeper therapeutic presence, psychological flexibility, and a more fluid engagement with lived experience. Drawing from Eastern contemplative traditions—including Zen Buddhism—as well as Western philosophy (e.g., Goethe, Merleau-Ponty, Alva Noë), this course challenges the dominance of rationalism and abstraction in psychotherapy and proposes an alternative: equanimity as a mode of knowing that is embodied, responsive, and relational.
Too often, clinicians and clients alike become constrained by fixed identity narratives, cognitive rigidity, or mindfulness practices that inadvertently reinforce self-focus. Uebel explores how equanimity, unlike detachment or neutrality, involves a full presence to the shifting world—without clinging or resistance. It enables the therapist to hold space for unfolding experience rather than rushing to interpret, categorize, or resolve. This stance is particularly relevant in working with trauma, anxiety, depression, and identity-based distress, where inflexibility and ego-preoccupation are central.
This program addresses key clinical practice gaps: the need for greater flexibility in how patients and clinicians perceive themselves and their challenges, and the limitations of treatment models that rely heavily on static interpretations or conceptual frameworks. Equanimity invites clinicians into a more embodied, holistic, and moment-to-moment therapeutic process.
Learning Objectives: At the end of this presentation, participants will be able to:
Apply principles of equanimous awareness to clinical situations, particularly those involving trauma, identity conflict, or psychological rigidity.
Discuss the implications of equanimity for patient and personal mental health and how to implement it in everyday life.
Identify how conventional mindfulness practices may inadvertently reinforce self-focus and explore how equanimity offers an alternative therapeutic pathway.
Integrate Eastern philosophical and contemplative approaches with Western psychotherapeutic models to enhance clinical insight and effectiveness.
-
Are morals innate, or do culture and experience shape them? Are ethics fixed standards—or evolving agreements? In this interactive workshop, participants will explore the origins, evolution, and application of morality and ethics in both personal and professional life.
Drawing from nursing, law, and clinical practice, Joyce Stamp Lilly guides a reflective discussion on how moral values and ethical codes intersect—and sometimes conflict—across cultures, institutions, and time. Participants will engage in critical thinking and dialogue about how personal beliefs, worldviews, and professional expectations shape ethical decision-making in healthcare and beyond.
Learning Objectives
By the end of this presentation, participants will be able to:Identify three universal concepts that apply to morals and ethics.
Explain how moral and ethical frameworks develop and evolve over time.
Discuss how culture, worldview, and experience influence one’s moral compass.
Analyze how morality and ethics shape and are shaped by history, politics, government, education, and healthcare.
