1. Foundations for Working With Families Engaged in High Conflict Divorce, Online Self-Study
As divorce rates continue to rise, therapists are increasingly encountering families where ongoing conflict between parents severely impacts children’s emotional, psychological, and social well-being.
This course provides the essential tools and knowledge that therapists need to effectively support these families through one of the most turbulent experiences of their lives using play therapy techniques.
Participants will learn strategies to manage the intense emotional dynamics these families face during high-conflict divorces, where parents are often embroiled in bitterness, control struggles, and ongoing legal battles. Through a blend of theory, practical applications, and experiential learning, they will learn how to shift their approach by integrating play therapy principles to create a therapeutic environment that fosters healing, understanding, and emotional regulation. They will also develop practical play therapy skills to help children process their emotions and cope with the psychological toll of divorce, all while maintaining clear professional boundaries with parents.
The course also addresses common challenges therapists face in these cases, such as dealing with manipulative behaviors from parents, managing divided loyalties within the family, and navigating the complexities of working alongside legal professionals and court systems. Participants will learn to remain neutral, avoid taking sides, and focus on the child's well-being without becoming entangled in the parental conflict. They will explore ways to address their own emotional responses, ensuring they stay grounded and effective while working in high-stress environments. Additionally, they will gain insights into systemic approaches to therapy, including how to coordinate with legal professionals, refer to specialists, and create treatment plans centered around the child's needs, utilizing play therapy interventions.
With engaging activities and real-world examples, participants will leave the course empowered and confident in handling even the most challenging high-conflict divorce cases. They’ll be prepared to provide compassionate, effective care through play therapy to children and families in crisis.
2. Helping Your Clients Cope with Divorce and Separation, Online Self-Study
The purpose of this course is to provide an orientation and framework for clinicians who are interested in working with clients, both individuals and families, who are going through all stages of separation and divorce.
This course will help clinicians to work with clients to help them better manage their stress, conflict, and relationships due to experiencing separation and divorce. With approximately 50% of the population in the US experiencing divorce, many clinicians find that they are struggling to manage client’s presentation surrounding the myriad of issues when they emerge in the clinical process. This course will provide practical skills such as co-parent counseling, reunification counseling, and parenting support, to address the many facets that this transition presents when working with clients of all ages.
Specific new skills that will be taught include:
- How to help clients and their families prepare and cope with all the facets of the divorce process
- Learning about the unique dynamics of blended families and new partners, and how to help clients gain success when bringing different families together
- Understanding the importance and implications of parenting plans for both parents and children
- Effective co-parenting counseling principles and skills
- Understanding how parental alienation can occur and how to help clients understand it and prevent it
- Understanding how to help clients manage their anger and emotions when dealing with their ex-partner
- Understanding how to help clients deal with the multiple losses that come from the divorce process
- Understanding the complexities of the divorce process and the myriad of issues that relate to it
- Instruction on how to implement techniques and interventions that will address the many aspects that the client and the family need when going through a separation and or divorce
This course will be taught with a combination of methods including didactic lectures and interactive activities which will:
- Offer participants the opportunity to practice the skills, techniques, and strategies that prepare them for working with families who are separated or divorced.
- Engage participants in experiencing the client's perspective through hands-on experiential exercises.
- Discuss how to apply clinical issues of divorce and separation to specific cases, as well as provide case examples throughout.
3. Tele-Mental Healthcare & Infidelity, Online Self-Study
This course provides an understanding of pandemic infidelity (personal & professional) through the lens of tele-mental healthcare trauma work. The etiology of infidelity, the neuroscience of trauma as well as treatment modalities with the integration of spiritual principles will be incorporated. Lastly, factors for resiliency and well-being will be identified for markers of post-traumatic growth as culturally competent clinical mental healthcare professionals.
4. The Road to Reconciliation: A Comprehensive Guide to Helping Your Clients Find Peace When Their Relationships Go Bad, Online Self-Study
Every client you will see is likely to have hurt or been hurt by their loved ones. This is understandably true of most of those who come to see you for marriage counseling and trauma, but it’s also the case when the presenting problem is addiction or any other mental health condition. Then the focus of treatment may not be on the harm caused or suffered, but relationships need to be mended before recovery can be solid.
A break in a relationship can bring up many difficult questions for both the clinician and the client. Was the harm momentous, or is this much ado over nothing? Can the perpetrator’s complaints be taken seriously or does that give them ammunition to justify their actions? Are the victim and perpetrator in denial? Is the victim playing the victim? Is she forgiving too easily or making restitution impossible? Is he staying in the relationship out of co-dependency or authentic love? How can things be made right? Is it OK to confess a betrayal to someone ignorant of it? How can the client effectively demand an apology? How can they make an apology stick? What can be done when reconciliation is impossible? What does peace look like?
I hope to help you answer all those questions and more. This workshop describes a process of healing and potential forgiveness for anyone in a relationship affected by selfishness, violence, abuse, addiction, or betrayal; whether they are the victim, the perpetrator, or both. It guides participants on how to assess the damage done and recognize codependency and vindictiveness, blocking the way from injury to peace. It gives pragmatic advice on how to help clients find safety, assert needs, apologize, make amends, and promote change.
