Violent death by homicide, suicide, accidents, and war are especially vulnerable to physical, mental, and social harm. Restorative Retelling is an evidence-based treatment that understands the complexity of violent loss and addresses it with practical skills.

 
Imagine being able to understand each other better and build an even more loving relationship, that just gets stronger over a lifetime.
 
In our workshop, you will learn what is at the root of most conflicts between you and your partner, and how to change those moments through a proven method that all couples can do.
 
Our *Hold Me Tight® Workshop for Couples is based on Attachment Theory, Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, and the international best-selling book "Hold Me Tight: 7 Conversations for a Lifetime of Love" by Dr. Sue Johnson.
 
Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy has been shown through research to be the most effective approach to helping couples:
 

• Change the negative cycle of repetitive arguments and distancing that can cause alienation, frustration, and pain;
• Understand emotions and needs in romantic relationships and how to tend to each other in a way that creates positive, bonding moments;
•  Begin to repair old relationship injuries and how to build more trust moving forward;
• Learn and practice a new way of communicating with each other that promotes a closer connection, more effective problem solving skills, and can help you have more fun and freedom together in your life.​

 
This is an educational and experiential program for couples given in an intimate, warm, indoor/outdoor setting; the format and schedule include: Educational talks, video presentations, and couple's exercises (in private, not in front of the group), with a catered lunch brought in each day (dietary preferences of attendees are always taken into consideration).
 
*Hold Me Tight© Workshops are given all over the world. Since 2010, Dr. Diana Weiss-Wisdom has been facilitating these transformative weekend retreats for couples at her charming Cottage Clinic in Rancho Santa Fe, California. She offers 3-4 weekend retreats a year.
 
The weekend takes place in a nature retreat on private property in Rancho Santa Fe, California (North Coastal San Diego, California). It is a relaxing and peaceful setting that promotes relaxation and enjoying quality time with your partner in nature.
 
Price is all inclusive: includes Workbook, Lunch, beverages, and snacks on both days but does not include lodging.

Integrating Somatic Psychotherapy and EMDR Therapy

This highly acclaimed training is 4 very full days of dynamic presentation, demonstration/video, discussion, and extended practicums with feedback, learning how to integrate Somatic Psychotherapy and EMDR Therapy.

This intensive training is limited to 27 participants, to provide a more intimate and personal experience. Participants must have completed basic EMDR training prior to attending.

A somatic approach to utilizing EMDR enables you to take full advantage of your client’s abilities to expose ways they get “stuck,” and to engage in their natural propensities to be able to work through.  Participants report an increase in confidence and expanded skills across the range of challenging clinical dilemmas, which they begin using in their practices immediately.

Learn to:

• Use detailed somatic awareness to both expose client’s processes, and to facilitate working through challenges, in ways that more cognitive approaches do not.
• Recognize subtle dissociation, as it appears in everyday sessions, and how to work with it
• Sensitize your understanding of the momentary somatic experiences during EMDR processing to deepen the work, build “process resources,” and enhance integration.
• Learn more effective somatic tracking to follow nuanced dynamics and patterns, build resiliency, and keep the work-paced within the "window of tolerance."
• Understand how teachings of neuroscience can direct our observations and interventions, from tracking levels of activation to manifestations of developmental challenges.
• Integrate the effectiveness of both somatic therapy and EMDR to engage with your clients' natural propensity for resolution and growth.
• Feel confident in truly "trusting the process" through the most difficult moments in therapy.

Presenter:  Craig Penner, LMFT, SEP, has been in private practice in Santa Barbara, CA since 1982.  He has been avidly using EMDR for the past 26 years, integrating it into a somatically-focused process-oriented therapy.

Fee: $875 Early Bird by October 8th, then $925. Healthy lunch included.  Schedule: 8:30-5:30 each day.

CE credit hours: 28 CE credit hours for Psychologists, LMFT’s, LCSW’s, LPC’s, LMHC’s; 

24 EMDRIA CEU’s
