Whether initiated by choice\, necessity\, or circumstance\, estrangement brings with it a range of emotions: grief\, anger\, confusion\, and sometimes even relief. In this workshop we will explore the psychological\, relational\, and social dimensions of estrangement\, and what it means to live in the space between connection and separation. \nThis webinar is designed to offer insight\, validation\, and tools for those working to support others through estrangement\, or who are experiencing it themselves. We’ll examine common causes and patterns\, the role of trauma and identity\, and how healing can look different for everyone – whether through reconciliation\, boundary-setting\, or finding peace with distance. Together\, we aim to create a compassionate space to reflect\, learn\, and move forward with greater clarity and understanding. \n\nLearning Objectives:\nBy the end of this workshop\, participants will be able to:\n\n\nExplore the psychological\, emotional\, and social dimensions of estrangement\, including its causes and common patterns.\nIdentify the impact of estrangement on mental health and well-being for individuals and families.\nIntroduce strategies for coping with estrangement and fostering healing and/or acceptance\n\n \nAbout the Presenter:\n\nDenise Chain\, M.S.\, NCC\, CTP (she/her/hers) earned her Bachelor of Arts degree from Neumann University and her Master of Science from Neumann’s Clinical Mental Health Counseling program.

But how do we\, as clinicians\, build that trust when the trauma itself is rooted in broken trust and misused power? \nIn this 2-hour CE workshop\, we’ll explore how to apply trauma-informed care principles specifically to religious and spiritual trauma. You’ll learn strategies to support clients in rebuilding agency\, self-trust\, and spiritual flexibility\, while also examining the clinician’s role\, challenges\, and blind spots in this work. Through guided reflection\, experiential practice\, and peer dialogue\, this session will deepen your relational and clinical skills for walking alongside survivors with empathy and integrity. \n* This workshop is part of a workshop series: Supporting Survivors of Religious and Spiritual Harm. You may take each workshop individually\, or take all three. \nLearning Objectives\n\nMatch each of SAMHSA’s trauma-informed care principles to a clinical behavior or practice that promotes healing in the context of spiritual trauma.\nDemonstrate one clinical intervention that fosters self-trust or agency in a client navigating belief deconstruction.\nIdentify at least two common challenges clinicians may face when working with religious trauma and describe strategies to address them.\n\n\nTo Register:\n\nSubmit payment via PayPal button below.
