    Expanding Cultural Competence in Clinical Care for Asexual Adults
    Product not yet rated Includes a Live Web Event on 05/13/2026 at 2:00 PM (EDT) Recorded On: 05/13/2026

    Asexual adults have distinct cultural and clinical considerations that shape their mental health needs and responses to psychological interventions. This webinar draws on emerging empirical research and clinical practice recommendations to provide a framework for psychologists to integrate cultural competence into assessment and treatment with asexual clients. Participants will learn evidence-informed strategies for affirming asexual identities, addressing clinician assumptions, and tailoring interventions to support client autonomy and well-being. Clinical examples and practical recommendations for reflective practice and reducing bias will be included. The webinar aims to equip clinicians with skills to create more inclusive, culturally responsive care for asexual individuals across therapeutic contexts.

    Paradoxical Intention (PI) Combined With Hypnosis in the Rapid Treatment of Anxiety Disorders: The Cases of “Fran” And “Emily”

    Paradoxical intention (PI) is a psychotherapeutic technique that is intended to help clients become more flexible, or at least more open to thinking about their problems, such as anxiety, from a new perspective. In line with this I have developed an approach that involves a “Panic Attack Time Line” (PATL). This PATL (a) helps the client visualize and understand what is happening during the panic attack, and (b) encourages them to understand why, when they start to have panicky feelings in their body, it will be paradoxically helpful to make these feelings worse, for example, if the attack makes their heart beat faster, they might be instructed to do jumping jacks. One of the important advantages of this PATL approach is that it can typically shorten therapy for treating anxiety disorders to just three sessions in comparison with traditional CBT protocols that typically require 6–20 sessions for achieving clinically meaningful change. Two, 3-session adult individual cases, “Fran” and “Emily,” are presented to illustrate the different ways that the PATL-grounded, PI approach can be combined with hypnosis to produce successful therapeutic outcomes. In Fran’s case, the PATL was used explicitly by itself with her and was sufficient to address her agoraphobia/panic disorder. Hypnosis was then used to extend the gains produced by PI. In the case of Emily's aviophobia, the PATL was not used explicitly with her. Rather, the paradoxical logic it embodies was used to create a paradoxical directive that was conveyed via hypnotic suggestion.

    Emotion Regulation in the Context of Developmental Couple Therapy for Complex Trauma
    Recorded On: 02/04/2026

    Couples come into therapy to address challenges and conflicts in their relationships. Underlying these challenges and conflicts, deficits in emotion regulation capacities are often present. For many couples, engaging in the day to day navigation of couple life becomes painful and distressing in part due to struggles to regulate overwhelming and intolerable emotions that interfere with their ability to work through and resolve conflicts. These are more exaggerated and severe for trauma impacted couples. Developmental Couple Therapy for Complex Trauma (DCTCT) is an evidence based approach to couple therapy for trauma impacted couples that places emphasis on the development of emotion regulation capacities as one avenue for the resolution of relationship distress. Participation in this workshop participants will have the opportunity to gain a greater understanding of the role of emotion regulation difficulties in the development and maintenance of couple distress and how focus on building emotion regulation capacities can help couples benefit from the therapeutic process and grow into a couple that can engage in the normal challenges and conflicts of daily relational life with flexibility, creativity, and resilience.
