This webinar, presented by Dr. Scott Waltman and Dr. Richard Trent Codd, explores how ancient Stoic philosophy can enhance engagement and effectiveness in anger management treatment. Building on the roots of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and its connections to Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), the session will review evidence-based strategies for managing anger and demonstrate how Stoic principles—such as acceptance, emotional perspective-taking, and values-based living—can be used as a delivery model for these interventions. Attendees will learn practical, immediately applicable techniques to support clients who may be resistant or ambivalent about therapy, while strengthening their own skills in delivering anger management interventions.

This is an introductory course and is designed for clinicians and supervisors. For pre and licensed clinicians including psychiatrists, psychologists, AMFT/LMFTs, APCC/LPCCs, MSW/LCSWs, RNs approved to provided psychotherapy, as well as trainees in these disciplines.

Struggling to help clients break free from body image traps? In this dynamic training on Enhanced Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT-E) you'll gain powerful, practical tools to tackle one of the biggest barriers to recovery from eating disorders. Learn how to stop the cycle of body checking, avoidance, and comparison; guide clients through the experience of “feeling fat”; and challenge the over-evaluation of shape and weight using proven techniques like the self-evaluation pie chart and behavioral experiments. Walk away with a clear roadmap and the confidence to shift clients from appearance-driven self-worth to healthier, lasting change.

Learning Objectives:

1. Identify at least three specific behaviors associated with body checking and body avoidance that maintain body image disturbance in individuals with eating disorders.

2. Apply the self-evaluation pie chart technique to help clients reduce the over-evaluation of shape and weight and build a more balanced system of self-worth.

3. Explain how to tailor body image interventions in CBT-E to align with an individual client’s formulation, including consideration of personal values, culture developmental history, and sociocultural influences on body image

This is an introductory course and is designed for clinicians and supervisors. For pre and licensed clinicians including psychiatrists, psychologists, AMFT/LMFTs, APCC/LPCCs, MSW/LCSWs, RNs approved to provided psychotherapy, as well as trainees in these disciplines.
