July 15, 2021 | 9am-12pm | 3 credits | Veteran Services | $60 David F. Tolin, PhD, ABPP
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is common in both military and civilian populations. Patients with chronic PTSD are often difficult to treat, and the degree of functional impairment from PTSD can be extremely high. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is among the most well-validated, evidence-based treatments for PTSD. In this half-day workshop, we will review the principles of CBT for PTSD, including various forms of therapeutic exposure, cognitive restructuring, and stress inoculation training. Dr. Tolin will use a mix of didactic presentation and case examples to illustrate how these treatments are implemented.
Spirituality, Addiction and Recovery: Leaving Religion at the Door August 3, 2021 | 9am-12pm | 3 credits | Addiction & Recovery | $60 Richard Eisenberg, Rabbi, MA, CAC
Research has demonstrated the positive effects of spirituality-related practices on addiction treatment and recovery. In this training, we will explore suggestions about the meaning of spirituality and how it can both differ from and overlap with religion. Trainer Richard Eisenberg, Rabbi, MA, CAC will explain the ways addiction can impair human relationships and how a spiritual orientation in recovery breaks down human barriers. In addition, the impact of trauma history upon addiction and spirituality will be discussed.
