About the workshop:
In this experiential workshop, we will explore the necessity of attachment, teachings from interpersonal neurobiology, and learn sociometry/psychodramatic tools for exploring relationships and group dynamics. Jacob L. Moreno, the founder of sociometry and psychodrama, was one of the first to challenge the medical model and suggest that mental illness is also a product of relationships, groups, and society. Many of the ideas articulated over 100 years ago in his triadic system are being validated by modern interpersonal neurobiology and attachment research. As humans, we are social animals and our neurobiological wiring promotes attachment, connection, group membership, and community belonging. As mental health professionals, relationships are the vehicle from which we work with our clients – and social factors are often the crux of the client’s concerns. Moreno’s social atom offers practitioners with a dynamic process that can be used as for assessment, intervention, treatment planning, or warm-up to psychodrama. Using experiential methods such as sociometry, sociodrama, and psychodrama we will explore attachment styles, the impact of trauma/addiction on relationships, and the essential nature of relationships and community in recovery. Psychodramatic and sociometric concepts such as spontaneity, the warming-up process, the social atom, role theory, tele, and the sociodynamic effect will be presented while various interventions will be taught, such as doubling, mirroring, role reversal, sculpting, role training, and role playing. The psychodramatic approach will be demonstrated through experiential teaching methods to help familiarize participants with the mechanics of facilitating psychodrama processes and employing its various interventions. Foundational group therapy concepts will also be presented including group development phases, group dynamics, the role of group cohesion, and the efficacy of group psychotherapy as a treatment approach in general.
Learning Objectives:
1). Identify four different attachment styles and their impact on one’s behavior in groups and therapy.
2). Describe three reasons why relationships are important in recovery.
3). Explain the social atom theory
4). Identify three sociometric tools to explore group relationships
5). Describe the process of psychodramatic sculpting using the social atom
6). Explain the role of group cohesion in effective group therapy practice
7) Compare how different attachment styles may influence a therapists’ choices or behaviors
8) Explain how to use the social atom as an assessment
9) Explain one way to modify the social atom for a specific population
10) Utilize the social atom as a treatment planning tool
11) Describe psychodrama’s role theory
12) Demonstrate at least one sociometry tool for enhancing group cohesion
13) Utilize the psychodramatic intervention of doubling to enhance safety, catharsis, and integration
14) Explain the value of the role reversal intervention in enhancing empathy
15) Describe the value of psychodrama and sociometry in deepening one’s understanding of social and relational problems
16) Define each of the parts of Moreno’s triadic system
17) Explain the utility of psychodramatic role training in helping clients develop new social skills
18) Articulate three group therapy developmental phases

About the workshop:
This workshop presents an overview of trauma-focused psychodrama and an immersion into to power and effectiveness of psychodrama in general and as a treatment for trauma and PTSD.

This workshop is designed to teach practical skills for practitioners new to psychodrama or for experienced psychodrama trainees to deepen their practice. Trauma-focused psychodrama research continues to emerge suggesting its effectiveness in treatment PTSD and offering clients corrective emotional experiences.

This workshop will explore the theme of freedom through the lens of psychodrama’s concept of spontaneity. Spontaneity is often misunderstood but in psychodrama context, spontaneity can be considered a sense of inner freedom – not being held back or inhibited from appropriate action in the moment. Spontaneity allows individuals, groups, communities, organizations, and nations to have new responses to old situations, and adequate responses to novel circumstances. Trauma, both on the individual and collective level, can impact our sense of freedom and our capacity for spontaneity. This workshop explores the movement from trauma to spontaneity and growth through psychodramatic methods and frameworks.

Date & Time: January 14, 2023, 9 am-4 pm (with one hour lunch break)

Presented: by Rachel Longer, MSS, LCSW, CET II, Certified IFS Therapist
6 CE Hours for PA social workers, counselors, MFTs, & psychologists and NBCC
In-Person: Phoenix Center – 524 N. Providence Road Media, PA 19063
Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy was developed by Dr. Richard Schwartz and is an incredibly validating and healing form of individual psychotherapy. The IFS model invites us to approach our and others’ internal worlds with curiosity, compassion, connectedness, clarity, courage, calm, confidence, and creativity. IFS asserts that each of us has many parts inside of us who, through trauma or other emotional injury, are catapulted into specific roles in order to keep us safe. IFS allows us to heal our parts, release them from these roles, and cultivate harmonious internal relationships and interactions. This workshop will integrate didactic and experiential components to support professionals in learning the IFS model to use with clients in a professional setting–no previous IFS knowledge is required.
Learning Objectives:

Explain an overview of the IFS model including different parts and Self.
Describe one of the steps (the 6F’s) in IFS when working with a part
Demonstrate awareness of therapist’s parts that get activated in a client session
Integrate basic IFS principles, language and techniques into my work

Workshop Series: The Intersection of Sexually-Informed Care and the LGBTQIA+ Community
Presented by: Rachel Saccarelli, LSW, MSW, CCTP, CSTS, EH.M, LE, LMT & Lewis Johnson, M.S., NCC, CTP
Date & Time: February 25, 2023, 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM
Cost: $200 for professionals | $140 for students (*write to us if cost is your only barrier)
6 CE Hours for PA social workers, counselors, MFTs, psychologists, and NBCC Hours
Location: Phoenix Center – 524 N. Providence Road Media, PA 19063
About the workshop:
Sexually-informed care is a type of care that centers the individual as a sexual being and establishes safety and trust in the therapeutic setting. It also looks at how we can understand that sexuality and social and economic justice are within all that we do with clients in clinical settings. Celebratory care differs from affirming care in that it praises and uplifts the community in ways that society traditionally has not done in the past. We will define both types of care and how they relate to marginalized communities. As a class, we will also apply these concepts clinically.
Learning Objectives:

List terminology associated with sexually-informed and celebratory care
Recognize when a client’s sexuality informs their presenting issue
Illustrate when a client’s sexuality exacerbates their presenting issue
Distinguish risk factors caused by rejection and discrimination
Set up practical applications of sexually-informed and celebratory care
Evaluate the benefits of sexually-informed and celebratory care in clinical settings

Please note: This full-day in-person training is the second training in a 4-part workshop series. Attendance at the previous workshops is strongly recommended but not mandatory. The dates and times of the remaining workshops in the series can be found below.
