In this training for psychotherapists, we will discuss how to treat the perinatal client in a post-2020 world.
About this event
The perinatal period is hallmarked by uncertainty. In addition to joy and hope, fear and anxiety are frequent companions on the road to motherhood. As mental health providers, we are no strangers to trauma and unpredictability. In a post-2020 world, however, the challenges of navigating this transition have grown exponentially. We are treating parents who are grieving multiple, often unrecognized losses, and dealing with ongoing exposure to large-scale conflict and despair. With an undercurrent of trauma underpinning daily decisions and activities, the perinatal period can feel perilous.
In this presentation for psychotherapists treating the perinatal client, Wildflower's Director of Education and Professional Development Eden Himidian, LCSW, RYT, PMH-C, will discuss how self-compassion and flexibility are necessary components to bring rest into a time of upheaval. She will review skills rooted in evidence- based models and incorporate embodiment practices that therapists can use to help mothers process their experiences, regulate their nervous systems, and be present in their lives and with their families. At a time when it can feel like we are surviving day to day, Eden will discuss how we can harness the power of mindfulness to thrive in the here and now.
2 continuing education credits are offered upon completion for the following license types: LPC, LCPC, LSW, LCSW, Clinical Psychology, LMFT.
This training will count toward 2 of the 6 advanced hours needed for clinicians working to obtain or renew their PMH-C through Postpartum Support International.
50% of proceeds will benefit Chicago Women's Health Center
