The clinical method of the Awareness Integration model has evolved from Cognitive, emotional, Behavioral, body-oriented, and trauma releasing theories and has been researched with a diverse population with significant results toward minimizing Depression and Anxiety.
While this workshop teaches useful tools for brief therapy, it also will give participants positive experiences for themselves. This workshop evokes experiences that lead clients to discover solutions that work. Whether the client experiences their solution, or has a dramatic shift in understanding their options it often leads to motivation and success.
Brief Treatment with the Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) patient makes no pretense at wholesale personality reconstruction, but rather considers the impact of the disorder on the therapy process in order to enhance the probability of success in successive brief episodes of care. This workshop reviews the etiology of BPD from both the Object Relations and the Psycho-social viewpoints. Specific protocols for dealing with issues such as Self-injurious behavior and Suicidal Ideation are reviewed.

Energy Psychology (EP) is a family of focused and brief approaches to releasing stuck energy in the mindbody system that usually is the result of unresolved small “t” or big “T” trauma. This workshop presents an elegant integration of Interpersonal neurobiology, polyvagal theory and memory reconsolidation that underlies energy psychology approaches to trauma treatment. Participants will learn how to incorporate this “power therapy” with their current methods to regulate emotional over-arousal and escalating patterns of reactivity while creating greater personal empowerment. Discover how to actually remove the traumatic energy/emotions from traumatic events that facilitates insight, mindfulness and post traumatic growth. Both the current research and the basic clinical protocols will be presented.

Chronic anxiety and depression present significant challenges for those affected by these conditions. A behavioral treatment which accesses deep levels of mindbody functioning facilitates remission of these debilitating conditions. This treatment, conceptualized as essential neurobiological communication (ENBC), incorporates a form of body language known as ideomotor signaling. Because these are chronic conditions, the affected individual learns how to fully manage these states on their own. Also presented is a noninvasive, structured protocol for reducing the adverse influence of unresolved emotion on present experience. Essential to this model is a progressive ratification sequence intended to ground emotional adjustments in thought, perception and behavior. This brief procedure is a useful adjunct to other treatment modalities and instrumental
IC01 Short Course 01 - Talk To Your Client's Eyes Not Just Their Ears! - Danie Beaulieu, PhD
Do you know that 60% of all information gathering to the brain comes from the eyes? Surprisingly
however, most therapies focus on ears. Have you ever felt that while you were talking to your
client's they were actually recording their own inner talk rather than your words? When we speak
to the eyes, we don't get that kind of distortion. This workshop will present different ways to
bypass the client's resistances and to trigger their other powerful learning systems. This
workshop will offer many new creative tools to address a wide range of psychological problems.
IC01 Short Course 02 - Treating the Out-of-Control Adolescent: A Grounded Theory Inquiry Into Haley's Work - Scott P. Sells, PhD
Treating adolescent with severe behavioral problems challenges even the most skilled
practitioner. To address this difficult population a four-year process-outcome research project led
to the discovery of a 15-step integrative treatment model. The process began with an intensive
case analysis of Jay Haley's work using a grounded theory approach, The concepts that emerged
were then tested in the field using outcome measures on 82 families over a two-year period. In
this way, the blending of qualitative and quantitative methods in a single study yielded results that
offered information that neither could provide alone.
IC01 Short Course 04 - The Neurobiology of Pain Processing and Hypnosis - Jeffrey R. Feldman, PhD
This short course will review the neurobiology of pain processing and hypnotic suggestion.
Neuroimaging studies will be emphasized, including landmark studies by Rainville and his
associates ( 1997, 1999) which identified distinct areas of the brain differentially activated
depending on the nature of hypnotic suggestions. An hypnotic technique which utilizes the
distinction between the sensory and affective dimensions of pain will be demonstrated.
Implications for current practice and future research will be discussed.
IC01 Short Course 05 - The Red Queen and Psychotherapy's Missing Voice - Robert J. Brem, MA, MC
This short course explores the notion of the Red Queen hypothesis - - as a critique of modern
"hyperculture" and its impact on social structure and in turn, its impact upon "healthy" social and
personal life. The presentation starts with a multidisciplinary theoretical overview and then looks
at the dynamics of social induction of people into cooperating via their behaviors with a way of
being that is not always healthy for them in psychological and biological terms. There will be open
discussion and options for practitioners to play beyond traditional milieus of psychotherapy.
