Ancestor Stories: An Experience In Family Constellations

10 a.m. to noon ET 


Learn a basic component about Family Constellations, the new experiential family systems process developed and synthesized by German psychotherapist Bert Hellinger that identifies and heals ancestral trauma while experiencing an actual session with a class volunteer.  We use body inquiry, representative perception and somatic awareness, and questions are always encouraged about how this approach may be helpful in your practice or other professional setting. Although the title is the same, each gathering will be informed by the needs of the participants. Additional classes the last Friday of each month, excepting holidays where schedule may be revised. Instructor is Karen Carnabucci, LCSW, TEP.  Two CE, psychodrama and Act 48 hours.

Healing Eating Disorders with Psychodrama and Other Action Methods
Friday, Feb. 3, 2023
​10 a.m. to 1 p.m. ET


The “comfort eating” during the collective trauma of the pandemic has brought new attention to how we use food to regulate our mood at times of stress. Whether we have overindulged or restricted, become quietly sedentary or compulsively active, we can return to balance with body, mind and spirit. In this workshop, Karen Carnabucci, LCSW, TEP, and Linda Ciotola, M.Ed., TEP, show how psychodrama, sociometry and other action methods support stability and healing and renewal.  Clinicians, wellness coaches and other healers will find practical treatment guidelines and clinically tested psychodramatic action structures for addressing eating disorders and body image distortion.  3 CE and psychodrama hours.

Bringing the Ethics of Inclusion to Your Psychotherapy and Practice Space
Friday, Feb. 17, 2023
9 a.m. to noon ET


Inclusion and social justice are key components of the ethics code in the profession of social work and other helping professions. However, beyond multiculturalism education and cultural competency, we discover a new phrase – that of decolonizing therapy, which challenges us to explore how we can include the trauma of oppression within our d helping sessions and dismantle the often-unconscious structures of racism. In this three-hour online training, led by Karen Carnabucci, LCSW, TEP, we look at practical ways that psychotherapists and other helpers can support inclusion in their work--  particularly regarding Black, Indigenous and People of Color.  With three CE and psychodrama credits.
