NOTICE RE: COVID-19 PLANS FOR 2023 SEMINARS
Due to continued issues with travel due to COVID-19, I am scheduling all 2023 seminars via Zoom. Both Louisiana and Colorado clinicians will be able to attend, which will make for a nice mix.
Rest assured – we will still have fun while we discuss high-risk cases that keep you awake at night!
Participants will still have the option, as always with my seminars, of sending in clinical or legal situations, dilemmas, and questions via email in advance. I will adjust our schedule for the Zoom meeting to incorporate a lot of audience engagement through discussions, polling, and other group activities.
If someone feels comfortable presenting their situation personally, she or he can present it to the group for our analysis. If you do not want to present, I will be happy to do so while preserving your anonymity.

Questions about how much to document? What about separate files for HIPAA Privacy Rule and why would a clinician go to that trouble? Separate teletherapy consent forms? Why and what should it cover?
Are there any ways to avoid getting grieved/complained about to the licensing board? And if by (unlucky) chance you do receive that email or letter from your licensing board saying that a Complaint has been filed against you, what do you do and how does the process unfold?
Oh no! I’ve been served!! Now what?
We will address these issues and more. This workshop will cover these questions and other sticky wickets of ethical managing of some business aspects of clinical practice.
Deb invites participant discussion throughout the webinar and encourages registrants to submit specific situations in advance to enhance our grist for the training mill.
Trainings typically are three (3) hours and certificates will be provided at the end of the seminar.

Ethical Management of Boundaries in the Digital Age: Necessities (“the Rules”) and Suggestions for Increasing Well-being of Clinicians and Their Clients
WHEN:
February 23rd and June 7th, 2024
8:45 a.m. to 12:00 noon (MST) / 9:45 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. (CST)
WHERE:
via Zoom
Description of Workshop:
What are the necessities (ethical rules) of boundary-setting with clients? What are some challenges? What do we do with the gray areas? Query whether the ethical requirements of our profession help or hinder the well-being of: Our clients? Ourselves?
Many clinicians have struggled over the past few years with not only COVID worries, but the resulting pivot to teletherapy and perhaps other consequences – or choices – you have made since the pandemic reminded us how precious life is every day. But are you living the quality life you want and need for your own well-being? If not, let’s look at some ways to improve your well-being.
The well-being suggestions, from me and participant engagement, will be aimed at helping increase overall well-being for tired, stressed therapists. Of course, your work and self-reflection in this webinar will translate to an increased ability to help your clients achieve a greater sense of well-being.
Come join Deb and the many clinicians who attend her webinars to do a deep dive into your own well-being. This will be a different webinar with more written reflection exercises, followed by group sharing and discussion. Of course, no one will have to share and can learn plenty from merely being present with us all as we grapple with some difficult dilemmas with our clients … and with ourselves.
