Visions Adolescent Treatment Centers will be hosting a CE event presented by James Guay LMFT.

Visions Mental Health and Wellness Center

Please join us at our Mental Health &amp; Wellness Center in West Los Angeles. 1.5 CE's included for LMFTs, LPCC and LCSWs. Objectives:• Identify three common strategies used in conversion therapy• Describe the harms of conversion therapy on clients• Name two interventions in working with conversion therapy survivorsAbstract In 2020, all mainstream medical and psychological associations now warn about the likely harms of conversion therapy in increasingly strong position statements. However, to date, a majority of States still allow it and approximately 698,000 LGBTQ adults in the US have undergone some form of conversion therapy. Many conversion therapists now market themselves as specializing in working with the LGBTQ population and sex addiction despite an underlying belief they have that expressing sexual and/or gender diversity is sinful, developmentally delayed or not realizing their “heterosexual potential”. Clients who have been subjected to this kind of malpractice have a justified fear of psychotherapy but are still in need of legitimate psychological care. Beyond symptoms of anxiety, depression, grief, difficulties with intimacy, and addictions, conversion therapy survivors are in need of understanding what they went through, much like former members leaving cults. Mind control and the undue influence of prior “therapy” can be easily misconstrued with legitimate psychotherapeutic practices and interventions. This presentation will provide therapists a deeper understanding of the thought reform techniques used in conversion therapy, their subsequent harms, and ways to treat these forms of psychological and religious abuse.Visions Adolescent Treatment Centers, Provider Number 136315, is a certified Continuing Education Provider by the California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists to sponsor continuing education for LMFT, LCSW, and LPCC.
