Calming the Overactive Mind: Neuroscience-Based Skills for Disrupting Worry and Rumination in Therapy

8:40 AM-12:00 PM ET

Worry and rumination are nearly universal—but when they become constant, they can fuel anxiety, cloud judgment, and keep clients stuck. This research-informed workshop offers clear, actionable strategies for shifting worry and rumination using evidence-based tools grounded in neuroscience, self-compassion, mindset theory, and positive neuroplasticity. Through examples, discussion, and skills-focused techniques, participants will learn how to help clients quiet “what if?” thinking, reduce self-criticism, and build healthier cognitive and emotional habits.

Attendees will leave with interventions they can use right away—such as the STOP technique, growth-mindset reframes, and HEAL practices to support calm and resilience. Whether you work with anxiety, trauma, perfectionism, or life transitions, this training provides a compassionate, strengths-based framework to help clients move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

Working with Neurodivergent Clients: Inclusive Approaches for Autism and ADHD

12:40 PM-4:00 PM ET

Conversations about neurodivergence have become far more visible in recent years, particularly across social media platforms where terms like “neurodivergent,”, "masking" and “neurospicy” are now part of everyday language. Clinicians are frequently called on to help clients interpret this complex mix in ways that foster insight, validation, and informed decision-making.

This training offers a practical, affirming approach for clinicians interested in working with autistic and neurodivergent clients — including those with ADHD. We’ll explore core concepts of neurodiversity and neurodivergent-affirming practices that emphasize respect, validation, and empowerment for individuals with diverse ways of thinking and processing.

The workshop is designed to help you create therapeutic spaces that honor and support the unique strengths, needs, and communication styles of neurodivergent clients. Through a mix of education, reflection, and skills-based strategies, you’ll leave with tools you can immediately integrate into practice to foster inclusive, supportive, and effective therapeutic relationships.
