THE INSTITUTE FOR CREATIVE MINDFULNESS

How much do I tell my clients about my own mental and physical health struggles? Where does the line of therapeutic benefit exist in sharing of myself in clinical and larger work settings? What issues must I consider if I am feeling called to be candid about my own struggles in the public forum (e.g., blogging, videos, speaking, advocacy)? These are the questions that many human services professionals pose as they navigate the critical balance between vulnerability, necessary boundaries, and protecting themselves. While there are many ethical issues at play in evaluating these questions that will be addressed in this course, the larger focus of the course is how we as a field can create a culture of advocacy and destigmatization of mental health and addiction struggles through our own appropriate self-disclosure. While literature on the topics at hand will be reviewed in the course, this particular course does invite you into a high degree of your own introspection that is essential to both personal and professional growth.

Nutritional Psychology: Bridging Brain, Body, and Behavior is a 2-hour online continuing education (CE/CEU) course that explores the relationship between food and mood, and how lifestyle factors influence mental health outcomes. Nutritional psychology is an emerging interdisciplinary field that examines the dynamic relationship between dietary patterns, nutrient status, and mental health outcomes. This course introduces the foundational principles of nutritional psychology, emphasizing the bidirectional relationship between nutrition, neurobiology, and psychological functioning. Historically, mental health care has focused primarily on psychotherapy and pharmacologic interventions; however, growing evidence demonstrates that diet quality, nutrient availability, gut microbiota, and metabolic health significantly influence mood regulation, cognitive function, and stress resilience. Key biological mechanisms underlying this relationship include neurotransmitter synthesis, immune signaling, endocrine regulation through the hypothalmic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, and communication along the microbiota-gut-brain axis. Current research highlights several nutritional factors associated with mental health outcomes, including whole-diet interventions such as Mediterranean-style dietary patterns, omega-3 fatty acids, micronutrient sufficiency, and the impact of ultra-processed food consumption. Additionally, hormonal balance, macronutrient distribution, and micronutrient cofactors play critical roles in the synthesis and regulation of neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine, acetylcholine, glutamate, and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). Chronic stress, inflammation, gut dysbiosis, and trauma-related dysregulation of the HPA axis further complicate the relationship between diet and psychological well-being. Through a biopsychosocial lens, this course also explores how lifestyle factors - including sleep, movement, hydration, and social connection - interact with nutrition to influence mental health outcomes. Clinical case studies illustrate how chronic trauma, dietary insufficiency, medication use, and physiological dysregulation converge to affect both psychological and physical health. Collectively, the evidence supports integrating nutritional assessment and intervention into mental health care as an adjunctive, individualized approach. Nutritional psychology therefore offers a promising framework for bridging brain, body, and behavior while expanding collaborative care models aimed at improving both mental and physical health outcomes.

Telehealth: Ethics and Best Practices is a 3-hour online continuing education (CE/CEU) course that examines ethical principles and best practices in remote online therapy. Telehealth, also known as teletherapy, telepractice, telepsychology, telerehabilitation (and a variety of other names), involves participating in therapeutic services through a digital platform. Patients can consult with their healthcare provider via computer, tablet, or smartphone without needing to visit their office. Telehealth is particularly beneficial for individuals in remote areas or those who have difficulty accessing traditional medical facilities. It encompasses a range of services, including virtual visits, health education, and remote patient monitoring. The primary and most obvious difference between telehealth and in-person treatment is the fact that the patient is not in the same room as the clinician. This lack of physical presence can limit the range of information available or how accurately it is observed. Communication can be influenced by camera angle, screen size, room characteristics, and other technical factors like bandwidth that may result in poor-quality video and/or audio and prohibit the observation of all behaviors. This course will provide an introduction to telehealth, discuss the pros and cons, address ethical considerations (such as competence, informed consent, HIPAA, etc.), how to get started with telehealth (including when to use, not use, or when to combine services), offer practice tips (including camera positioning and cultivating trust), and discuss evidence-based uses for mental health, nutrition, speech, and occupational therapy.

This training equips healthcare providers to bridge the identification gap by transitioning from clinical intuition to an evidence-based assessment framework. Participants analyze the Action, Means, Purpose (AMP) model to differentiate trafficking from smuggling and review how reporting duties, documentation practices, and institutional response requirements may vary by state. The curriculum focuses on multifaceted screening tools, safe-separation protocols, and forensic documentation using ICD-10-CM coding. By evaluating systemic vulnerabilities and ethical tensions between autonomy and mandatory reporting, this course prepares practitioners to respond to suspected trafficking in a trauma-informed, survivor-centered, and legally aware manner. A significant practice gap exists in healthcare settings where clinicians miss many trafficking victims because assessment methods are inconsistent and often rely too heavily on unstructured judgment. While many providers recognize general red flags, specialized skills for safe separation, trauma-informed interviewing, objective documentation, and identifying markers of coercive control remain underutilized. In addition, state laws and facility requirements regarding reporting, signage, staff protections, and referral pathways may change over time and differ by jurisdiction. This course addresses these gaps by linking clinical evidence with practical response strategies, enabling providers to document suspected exploitation accurately, respect patient autonomy when legally appropriate, and respond in a manner that aligns with applicable state law and facility policy.

Yoga Skills for EMDR Therapists:Enhancing Preparation, Case Conceptualization, and Managing Difficult Situations in Reprocessing: The clinical and research evidence for yoga as a supplementary practice in the treatment of PTSD and other trauma-related disorders continues to mount. There are many natural applications to how skills, techniques, and philosophy of yoga can work alongside the eight phases of EMDR therapy and the AIP model to more holistically prepare EMDR therapists for managing difficult situations in Phases 3-6 like abreactions and working with dissociation. Even if an EMDR therapist is not a formally registered yoga teacher, the willingness to build and grown their existing yoga practice, can give them numerous strategies for enhancing their efficacy in history taking and preparation/resourcing (Phases 1-2) which naturally translates to closure and re-evaluation (Phases 7-8). This workshop is designed to give EMDR therapists a complete toolkit for seamlessly integrating EMDR therapy and the skills, techniques, and philosophy of yoga. The presenters are both EMDR therapy trainers and yoga teachers and are poised to speak to how one practice informs the other in their lives and in working with clients. EMDR therapists are also encouraged to continue cultivating their own yoga and meditation practices to help them stay more focused, alert, and able to maintain the calming presence during difficult EMDR sessions and as well as a measure for burnout prevention. No previous experience with yoga is necessary and all practices can be modified for a chair. Participants are encouraged to dress comfortably. Mats and props are available onsite or you can bring your own. *Partial training in EMDR therapy is required
