Complicated Relationships: Case Studies in Ethics and Boundaries

Mental health professionals are more than their professional role. We have personal lives. When those personal lives intertwine with our professional lives, things get complicated. This training explores dual/multiple relationships by examining case examples from the common to the unlikely, but still real. Special attention will be paid to considerations for communities where dual/multiple relationships in the provision of mental health care might not be avoidable, including rural areas, religious groups, LGBTQ communities, and veterans of military service.

This course is designed to meet the NYS requirement of mental health professionals to receive 3 hours of training on maintaining appropriate professional boundaries. This course is NOT New York state specific, and can satisfy ethics, boundaries and general CE requirements for any state.

(Trainer - Kathryn Krase, Ph.D., J.D., M.S.W., Principal Consultant with Krase Consultant, is an expert on the professional ethics, and the intersection of ethics with legal responsibilities. She has years of experience consulting with government and community based organizations to develop policy & practice standards.)

When the Relationship Goes Off the Rails: Countertransference & Relational Ruptures in Trauma Work

This three-hour clinical workshop explores countertransference dynamics and relational ruptures that commonly emerge in trauma-focused psychotherapy. Trauma survivors often present with complex attachment patterns, emotional avoidance, and heightened sensitivity to interpersonal misattunements. These dynamics frequently activate strong reactions in the therapist, which—if unrecognized—can lead to enactments, defensiveness, or ruptures in the therapeutic alliance.

Using a relational, attachment-informed, psychodynamic framework, Dr. Muller will examine how therapists can identify early warning signs of countertransference activation, understand the relational functions these reactions may serve, and intervene in ways that strengthen rather than destabilize the therapeutic relationship. Emphasis is placed on moment-to-moment awareness, therapist vulnerability, and the capacity to tolerate affective intensity in the room.

Through didactic instruction, guided discussion, case examples, and recorded therapy demonstrations, participants will learn practical strategies for repairing alliance ruptures, restoring safety, and fostering posttraumatic growth following relational strain. The workshop draws from Dr. Muller’s clinical and research experience as well as concepts from contemporary attachment theory. The goal is to enhance clinicians’ ability to manage interpersonal challenges inherent in trauma work and use relational disruptions as opportunities for healing and integration.

(Trainer - Robert T. Muller, Ph.D. trained at Harvard, was on faculty at the University of Massachusetts, and is currently at York University in Toronto. Dr. Muller is a Fellow of the International Society for the Study of Trauma & Dissociation (ISSTD) for his work on trauma treatment. His newest therapy book, Trauma and the Struggle to Open Up, was awarded the 2019 ISSTD award for the year's best written work on trauma. And his award-winning bestseller, "Trauma & the Avoidant Client" has been translated widely. As lead investigator on several multi-site programs to treat interpersonal trauma, Dr. Muller has lectured internationally (Australia, UK, Europe, USA), and has been keynote speaker at mental health conferences in New Zealand and Canada. He founded an online magazine, "The Trauma & Mental Health Report," that is now visited by over 100,000 readers a year. With over 30 years in the field, he practices in Toronto.)

Class 3

6:00 PM - 9:00 PM EST

Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) Risk Factors in Women and Intervention Strategies for Therapists

Therapists are often the first point of contact for female survivors of intimate partner violence (IPV), yet this topic is frequently under-addressed in clinical education. Many clinicians never receive formal training on IPV, even though clients are experiencing it every day, often without naming it directly.  It may be difficult to support female clients suffering from IPV in silence, without any training in recognizing their quiet distress. This course provides practical, nonjudgmental guidance to support your work with female clients who may not disclose abuse openly and will raise your level of readiness to address IPV in your practice.

Participants will explore how perpetrators often follow a discernible grooming process, and how certain risk factors can increase a client's vulnerability to sexual assault, particularly in cases where the perpetrator is someone known to them. The course also examines personality traits common among perpetrators and the importance of recognizing early warning signs. What makes this course different is by addressing the probability of future IPV victimization of your female clients, before it occurs. Moreover, participants will learn how to raise the topic of safe and healthy relationships with female clients, even when this is not female clients' presenting problem.

(Trainer - Ilana Orange is an EMDR trained trauma therapist in private practice, specializing in recovery from gender based violence. She is currently a doctoral student at the University of Southern California, and is working on a sexual assault prevention project.)
