The Therapist’s Journey in These Times: Questions, Wisdom & Belonging
Virtual | Friday May 29, 2026 | 9:00 AM – 1:00 PM CDT | 4 CEUs
Therapists are carrying more than ever—much of it shaped by forces beyond the room.
This 4-hour experiential workshop offers space to pause, reflect, and reconnect.
Grounded in trauma and somatic practice, we’ll explore:
• What beliefs may be harming us
• Why so many therapists feel exhausted
• What sustains us—as humans and healers
We’ll examine dominant narratives—neutrality, individualizing suffering, and self-sacrifice—and how they live in our work and our bodies.
This workshop centers belonging. Through dialogue and somatic practice, we create space to reflect, grieve, and reconnect with purpose.
You’ll leave with language for moral distress, practical tools, and renewed clarity.
Registration (4 CEUs)
• $165 -- Registration/payment regular rate.
• $80 -- Registration/payment for those working in non-profits.
• $50 -- Registration/payment for those with limited resources.
We would be honored to have you with us.
