The Council of Professional Associations of Psychologists (CPAP), of which APNS is a member, has made a Statement of Accountability and Responsibility to Indigenous Peoples.

To promote this accountability, CPAP’s Board of Directors moved to formally endorse the Canadian Psychological Association (CPA) Statement of Accountability in the CPA Task Force’s report entitled, “Psychology’s Response to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada’s Report.”

The Centre for Psychology and Emotional Health and the Greenberg Institute of Emotion Focused Therapy Presents 20 Skills to Work with Emotion in Psychotherapy with Dr. Leslie Greenberg.
Learn skills to help you assess specific emotional issues and apply targeted interventions to address them.
Dates: July 11 and 12, 2024
Times: 11:00AM to 3:00PM Eastern Daylight Time
Format: Online via Zoom
If you register and are no longer available to attend the live workshop, a recording will be available for a period of time.
Overview
Do you ever feel unsure about how to effectively work with emotions in your therapy sessions? Do you struggle to access, regulate, or deepen your clients’ emotional experience? Do you have trouble helping your clients process emotions productively?
Working with emotion is an essential component of psychotherapy, and therapists can encounter challenging emotional processes during treatment. For example, clients often present with secondary symptoms which are frequently mistaken for the main problem. These secondary symptoms obscure the deeper emotional issues that require focused attention and intervention. To address these and other emotional issues in psychotherapy, therapists require training to learn specific skills and techniques.
In this workshop, you will learn 20 evidence-based skills to help you assess specific emotional issues and apply targeted interventions to address them. These skills draw on decades of research on emotions from multiple perspectives, including evolutionary biology and neuroscience, and can be integrated into any psychotherapeutic approaches and used with any client population. Video recordings of real therapy sessions will be used to illustrate client processes and interventions.

Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) 2-Day Therapeutic Retreat for Mental Health Practitioners
*Wolfville Location*
August 9 – 10, 2024 9:30AM – 5:00PM
Facilitated by: Jacqueline Milner, Clinical Psychologist and Certified Mindfulness and Mindful Self-CompassionTeacher
Renew, Reflect, Reconnect: An opportunity to nourish your spirit, strengthen your resilience and rediscover the joy in your calling. Prioritize your wellness as we explore mindfulness and nurturing practices tailored specifically for those who dedicate their lives to supporting others’ mental health.
This Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) Intensive Retreat is offered specifically for Mental Health Practitioners who face unique challenges which make them vulnerable to experiencing fatigue and burnout in their professional roles. Growing research is showing that self-compassion skills can be of particular benefit to health care professionals, allowing them to experience greater satisfaction in their caregiving roles, less stress, and more emotional resilience. Self-compassion skills are trainable and build your capacity to handle stressful challenges.
The 2-Day MSC Intensive Therapeutic Retreat is an adaptation of the Mindful Self-Compassion Short Course which originates from the empirically supported 8-week Mindful Self-Compassion program. This intensive is designed to begin cultivating and experiencing the skills of self-compassion combined with mindfulness while spending quiet, restful time with yourself and other practitioners with shared experiences.
As opposed to other self-care techniques, self-compassion practices can be used on the spot while at work with clients and colleagues. As a participant of the program you can learn tools to use throughout the day to:
- Care for yourself while caring for others
- Be able to listen with compassion
- Handle difficult emotions with greater ease
- Reconnect to the values that give your life and work meaning
What to expect
Participants will meet as a group over the course of 2-days. The activities of the MSC intensive will include short talks, experiential exercises, meditation, mindful movement, group discussions and home practices. There will be a silent retreat during the morning session of the second day.
At the completion of this program, participants should be able to:
- Describe the main components of self-compassion and mindfulness and how they may be integrated into their role as healthcare professionals.
- Explain the difference between empathy and compassion and utilize strategies to avoid emotional exhaustion.
- Demonstrate strategies they can use on the job to regulate difficult emotions while caring for others in pain.
- Apply at least one skill from each session to help them regulate emotions and care for themselves emotionally while caring for others who are experiencing difficulty.
Daily Schedule
- 9:15 – 9:30 am: Sign-In
- 9:30 – 12:30: Morning Session (with a 10-minute break, light nutrition and refreshments provided)
- 12:30 – 2:00 pm: Lunch Break (participants can bring their own lunch or take advantage of any one of the lovely eateries in Wolfville)
- 2:00 pm – 5:00 pm: Afternoon Session (with a 10-minute break, light nutrition and refreshments provided)
Who is this intensive for?
This 2-day intensive retreat is being offered exclusively for mental health practitioners (psychiatrists, psychologists, clinical social workers and clinical therapists) who wish to begin integrating the core skills and principles of mindfulness into their work and/or are in much need of an opportunity to simply care for themselves.
Meditation experience is not required.
Fee: $350 (hst included)
** Most private health insurance covers the cost of this program. Please contact your insurance provider to determine whether therapeutic group sessions (in-person or online) offered by a Registered Psychologist are covered. The fee of this program for Mental Health Practitioners can also be claimed as a continuing education tax expense.
