Description:
Join Dr. addyson tucker (they/them) in collaboration with Looking Glass Counseling for a hybrid training event. Learn more about self-compassion and shame resilience as key ways to support radical healing when serving marginalized communities.
Participants are encouraged to have some working knowledge of their own identity and power/privilege within systems of oppression. Participants are also encouraged to have willingness & ability to ‘lean in’ with humility & accountability when supporting their clients with intersectionality marginalized identities, who may be facing daily reminders of the violence & harm impacting people like them in the world.
After a brief overview of racial, gender and body liberation, participants will learn how those in intersectionality marginalized bodies might internalize external shame messages of being “too much” or “not enough.” The training will demonstrate how self-compassion can both build shame resilience and offer space to ‘hold the hard.’ A model of radical healing (French et al., 2019) will build on theories of liberation to help honor lived experiences of navigating oppressive systems, while also identifying and exploring sources of pleasure and joy.
*Note: CE credits are not available for those who wish to view the recording, and/or do not attend in full during the indicated time.
Accommodations available for hearing impaired. In-person session is held in an ADA compliant location.

Description:
Awareness of autism, particularly among adults who were not recognized as autistic in childhood, is growing quickly. There is significant need these days for support and guidance among individuals exploring whether they might be autistic and among therapists supporting clients who have begun this journey. But, many therapists have received little, if any, training on autism in their education process and have not been well prepared to meet this growing need.
Training Objectives:
To prepare therapists to identify masked adult autistic clients on their caseload through a neurodiversity paradigm and facilitate discussion of autistic identity with clients. To prepare therapists to build affirming relationships with adult autistic clients, develop and work towards neurodiversity affirming goals and support clients navigating formal and self diagnosis.
Enrollees are required to attend both sessions.
