The ADHD Brain in Women: A Regulation & Sensory Processing Framework
🗓️ Thursday, Feb 5, 2026 | 🕛 12:00–1:00pm ET | 🎓 1 Core CE
👉 Register: https://www.theknowledgetree.org/p/adhd-brain-in-women

ADHD in women is often masked, misunderstood, and missed entirely — especially when we rely on attention-only models that don’t reflect lived experience.

This one-hour interdisciplinary training introduces a regulation-based, sensory-informed framework for understanding ADHD in women — grounded in neuroscience, sensory processing theory, and neuroaffirming practice.

You’ll explore how ADHD in women is shaped by:
🌿 Sensory modulation and overwhelm
🌿 Emotional regulation and masking behaviors
🌿 Inattentive features and interest-driven motivation
🌿 Hormonal fluctuations across the lifespan

Clinicians will leave with practical tools, including the NICUP framework (Novelty, Interest, Challenge, Urgency, Passion), to support engagement, reduce burnout, and design interventions aligned with how ADHD brains actually work.

IFS for OCD: An Integrated Approach to Treatment
🗓️ Friday, Feb 13, 2026 | 🕥 10:30am–5:30pm ET | 🎓 6 Core CEs
👉 Register: https://www.theknowledgetree.org/p/ifs-for-ocd

OCD affects 2–3% of the population, yet many clients go years — even decades — without effective treatment. Even with evidence-based care, some plateau, disengage, or struggle to stay with traditional exposure approaches.

What if OCD treatment could be both effective and compassionate?

This full-day workshop integrates Internal Family Systems (IFS) with evidence-based OCD treatment, offering a relational, parts-based framework that preserves the power of exposure while increasing engagement and sustainability.

You’ll learn how to:
🧠 Understand OCD through IFS — obsessional managers, compulsive firefighters, and exiles
🧩 Assess OC subsystems and unblend from protectors
🤝 Facilitate Self-led exposures with the willing cooperation of protective parts
🔄 Apply a three-stage IFS-informed exposure framework grounded in ERP
💡 Support clients who haven’t fully responded to traditional approaches

Whether you’re an IFS clinician wanting to work more confidently with OCD, or an OCD specialist curious about parts-based work, this training offers a powerful bridge between models — and renewed hope for your clients.

Ethical Considerations with Sexually Marginalized Clients
🗓️ Wednesday, Feb 11, 2026 | 🕐 1:00–4:15pm ET | 🎓 3 Ethics or Core CEs
👉 Register: https://www.theknowledgetree.org/p/sexually-marginalized-clients-ethics

Consensual non-monogamy. B**M and consensual power exchange. Diverse sexual desires and behaviors.
These are far more common than many clinicians realize — yet misunderstandings, stigma, and outdated clinical assumptions still show up in therapy rooms every day.

This ethics-focused workshop helps clinicians replace bias with competence, and discomfort with clarity.

You’ll explore:
✨ How to understand sexual and relational diversity outside heterocentric, monocentric, and binary norms
✨ Strategies for assessing power dynamics in relationships — both inherent and consensually negotiated
✨ How therapist paperwork (intake forms, language, documentation) can either harm or empower clients
✨ APA calls to action around stigma reduction
✨ Ethical principles for working with sexually marginalized populations
✨ Approaches to informed consent, safety planning, and duty to protect
✨ How to signal a sex-positive, affirming clinical environment — in person and online

This is the training clinicians wish they’d had years ago — an essential update to support autonomy, justice, and nonmaleficence in modern practice.

The Hidden Dynamics of Abuse: Identifying and Treating Intimate Partner Violence

*Early Price Ends This Friday, 12/5 at 5:00pm Eastern Time*
🗓️ Wednesday, Dec 17 | 🕥 10:30am–5:30pm ET | 🎓 6 Core CEs
👉 Register here: www.theknowledgetree.org/p/intimate-partner-violence

Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) — often called domestic violence — is complex, nuanced, and deeply misunderstood. Survivors rarely come forward with a single clear story; instead, their experiences are layered with trauma, grief, manipulation, and ongoing safety concerns.
This advanced workshop will help you recognize, respond to, and treat clients affected by IPV, equipping you with both the insight and the tools to navigate these difficult dynamics safely and effectively.
Learn to differentiate unhealthy relationship patterns from IPV, identify emotional manipulation, and integrate tools like the Power and Control Wheel and safety planning into your clinical work. We’ll also explore the therapist’s role, the toll of vicarious trauma, and how to protect your own well-being as a clinician.
