Register now for our upcoming interview course featuring Dr. Julie Schwartz Gottman. Details in post below.

Dr. Julie Schwartz Gottman, President and Co-founder of The Gottman Institute is a veritable psychology genius. She has a calming, confident air about her that is truly unique, and her contributions to the field cannot be overstated.

Our founder, Beth, had the honor of interviewing Dr. Gottman on the topic of past sexual trauma and its impact on relationships. This topic is deeply meaningful for many (Beth included), and we felt it important that you be able to access this podcast CE interview course for free; this course is eligible for 1 free CE credit with the APA, NBCC, ASWB, and others.

We are now accepting pre-registrations; the course will go live on Wednesday, August 19th. Share this post with your colleagues so they don’t miss this opportunity. Pre-register for the free CE course, "Healing Invisible Wounds: Working Through Past Sexual Trauma in Relationships," here: https://courses.clearlyclinical.com/courses/free-ceu-gottman

On Juneteenth and every day, join us in listening, reflecting, and advocating.

In this free CE panel interview, La Shanda Sugg, LPC, L.J. Lumpkin, LMFT, and Dr. Tiffany Crayton, LPC, join us to discuss the world through their eyes... we hear what racism means to them, how it comes into the therapy room, and their ideas about what we do about it. Here are the stories they shared with Elizabeth Irias, LMFT, our founder... the searing fruit of their emotional labor, their personal and professional clinical experience of being Black in America.

Words can't express how grateful we are for their vulnerability, honesty, and trust.

In lieu of charging for this CE opportunity, we encourage you to make a donation of $8.46 (or more) to one of the organizations mentioned on our course landing page, or to the charity of your choosing... thank you for your support of mental health resources for BIPOC communities.

Please join us in just listening about how the world looks through the lenses of these dear Black colleagues. Dismantling racism starts with each of us, in big ways and in small ways, both out in our communities and on the couches in our offices.

New FREE CE Course: A Podcast Interview About Grief

We're grieving. You’re grieving. Our clients are grieving. Every single one of us is grieving right now… we’re suffering a host of losses, ranging from deaths of loved ones, financial hardship, to trip cancellations. We’ve watched events suddenly disappear from our calendars, and we're isolated in a way we've never been before. Minority and at-risk groups have been hit particularly hard, and there's no end in sight... the amount of uncertainty in our lives is sad and stark.

We clinicians are seeing our clients grieve these losses in our sessions, and we can sometimes feel powerless. Here’s the thing: We’re not powerless- we have such a special and honored position in their lives, to work with them and help them adjust and recover from these losses.

Maybe we therapists just need a little direction about grief work, and to hear whether we’re doing it right.

In this free podcast CE interview course, Jill Johnson-Young, LCSW, offers practical interventions and shares some relatable stories, and she even tells how she manages her own grief. (Not only does she do grief work with psychotherapy clients, she is married to a funeral director, and she adopts hospice animals… Jill’s like a grief jedi.) She’s just the kind of person we need to hear from.

Our two free Coronavirus podcast CE courses just went live: “Making Sense of the Pandemic: Psychological Impact on Clients and Communities” and “Swiftly Transitioning to Online Therapy, Legally, Ethically, and Efficiently”. We just got approved by ASWB, so now just about every clinician in the country can get free CE credit hours from these two free courses (we already had approval with the APA, NBCC, NAADAC, CCAPP and CAMFT).

I've (Elizabeth Irias, LMFT) been working around the clock to get these out... I personally learned so much from both of these podcast interviews.

Please share these far and wide with your network!
