SUMMARY:Dialectical Behavior Therapy for Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
DESCRIPTION:Dialectical Behavior Therapy for Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder\nNovember & December 2025 (Including Nov 18+19\, 25+26\, Dec 2+3\, Dec 9+10)\n9:00 am – 1:00 pm EDT \nOnline via Zoom \nFacilitated by: Drs. Martin Bohus & Shelley McMain \nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER ONLINE \nThis 4-week course\, offered through the Centre for MindBody Health\, provides a comprehensive examination of DBT-PTSD based on a psycho-social model. Within this model\, dysfunctional behaviors are understood as strategies to avoid or escape from trauma-associated primary emotions like powerlessness\, threat\, anxiety\, disgust\, humiliation\, or sexual arousal. The model posits that these emotions are corroborated by dysfunctional cognitive assumptions and dysfunctional behaviors such as self-injury\, suicidal ideation\, dissociation or intoxication and that problematic secondary emotions such as shame\, guilt\, self-hatred\, or chronic anger develop over time into problematic self-concepts which impair quality of life. \nDBT-PTSD primarily aims to help patients: a) Revise their fear of trauma-associated primary emotions\, b) Question whether secondary emotions like guilt and shame fit the facts\, and c) Radically accept the fact of trauma in their lives to establish a life worth living. The treatment program is designed to be delivered in a residential program (three-months) or in an outpatient setting (45 weeks). \nThis 4-week course provides comprehensive training in DBT-PTSD including a manual. The course also fulfills the prerequisite for enrolling in future Advanced Dialectical Behavior Therapy for Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder workshops. \nAT THE CONCLUSION OF THIS TRAINING\, YOU’LL BE ABLE TO: \n\nDescribe the basic psychosocial and neurobehavioral principles of complex PTSD\nImplement the principles of DBT-PTSD within your clinical practice\nDevelop an individualized trauma model\nTeach your client skills for dissociation\, distress tolerance\, and regulation of trauma-related emotions\nConduct in-sensu exposure\nHelp your clients create a life worth living\n\nRegistrants will retain access to the course material and recordings of all classes for 30 days after the course training concludes.

SUMMARY:Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy: Strategies for Working with Depression and Anxiety
DESCRIPTION:Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy: Strategies for Working with Depression and Anxiety\nFacilitated by: Dr. Zindel Segal\, Ph.D. \nDates: December 5 & 6\, 2025 \nTime: 11:00am – 2:30pm (ET) \nLocation: Online via Zoom \nCurious About This Training with Zindel?  \nWATCH THE PREVIEW \n\nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER ONLINE \n  \nAbout the Workshop \nMindfulness meditation has been shown to disengage neural networks supporting rumination and worry\, along with improving clinical outcomes through increased tolerance of negative affective states. By addressing transdiagnostic factors that increase risk for disorder onset and recurrence\, training in mindfulness meditation can be employed with a host of physical and emotional disorders as means of providing individuals with greater choice during moments of reactivity and alarm. Yet our clients managing depressive and anxious disorders require more than just an on-ramp to practice meditation. For example\, how does the practice of mindfulness sit alongside cognitive and behavioural interventions that have also shown to be of benefit\, how do we language and guide mindfulness practices to respond to clinical concerns? \nWe will address these questions through the lens of Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy\, an 8 week structured program that integrates mindfulness mediation with the tools of cognitive therapy for prevention of mood disorders. Combining didactic content with periods of experiential practice\, we will examine how to integrate and appropriately sequence formal/informal mindfulness practices\, identify somatic cues of emotional expression and set up a treatment frame where affect regulation based on ‘allowing’ and ‘letting be’ in contrast to cognitive reappraisal\, can be encouraged. In these ways\, clients can develop a different relationship to their depressive or anxious experiences\, one marked by greater choice and agency. \nLearning Objectives \nUpon completion of this course\, participants will be able to: \n\nReview the evidence base for mindfulness meditation in the treatment of depressive and anxiety disorders.\nUnderstand how to integrate and appropriately sequence formal/informal mindfulness practices into the psychotherapeutic treatment of Major Depressive Disorder.\nEngage in experiential practice of the 3 Minute Breathing Space and understand how brief changes in attentional focus can be used to address negative automatic processing cycles.\nDiscuss why mindfulness is about more than relaxation.\nLearn about the role of sensory processing as an opponent process to cognitive elaboration.\nReview language and pacing when guiding mindfulness practices.\n\nPresenter \nZindel Segal\, PhD\, is Distinguished Professor of Psychology in Mood Disorders at the University of Toronto Scarborough. An award winning clinical psychologist and continuously funded by the National Institutes of Mental Health\, his program of research characterized psychological markers of relapse vulnerability in affective disorder which\, in turn\, provided an empirical rationale for offering training in mindfulness meditation to recurrently depressed patients in recovery. An author of over 10 books and 230 scientific publications\, including The Mindful Way Through Depression and Better in Every Sense – guides for achieving mood balance in everyday life – Dr. Segal continues to advocate for the relevance of mindfulness-based clinical care in psychiatry and mental health. \nTarget Audience \n\nThis workshop will be helpful to psychotherapists of all persuasions who recognize the significance of mindfulness practice in mental health and wish to integrate it into their practice.\nTherapists with personal experience of mindfulness who would like to understand the points of interaction between mindfulness meditation and clinical care.\nClinicians seeking to base their therapeutic relationships and interventions on their personal mindfulness and contemplative practices.\nTherapists in search of a continuing education experience that is inclusive and accommodating to all identities and intersections thereof.\n\nWebinar Recording \nThis webinar will be recorded and shared with all registrants within 5-7 of the webinar taking place.
