Live, interactive via Zoom. Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a "neurodevelopmental disorder defined by a persistent pattern of inattention and/or hyperactivity-impulsivity that interferes with functioning in or development" (APA, 2022). Perfectionism is defined as, "the tendency to demand of others or oneself an extremely high or even flawless level of performance, in excess of what is required by the situation" (APA, n.d.). People diagnosed with ADHD often endorse maladaptive cognitive distortions (Serine et al., 2020), with perfectionism being the most frequently endorsed pattern of cognitive distortion (Strohmeier et al., 2016). ADHD and perfectionism may affect those with ADHD combined presentation and women more frequently than other ADHD presentations and men, respectively (Muller & Piko, 2026). ADHD is positively corrlated with higher rates of self-criticism and reduced self-compassion (Beaton et al., 2020), thus leading to potentially maladaptive behavioral patterns, including maladaptive perfectionism (Muller & Piko, 2026). ADHD and perfectionism can uniquely impact one's psychological well-being, self-esteem, and identity (Farmer et al., 2026). Additionally ADHD and perfectionism are associated with higher rates of ego depletion and daily exhaustion, increasing risk for burnout (Muller & Piko, 2026). Research recommends treating ADHD and perfectionism by reframing cognitive distortions (Serine et al., 2020), increasing self-compassion (Beaton et al., 2020), and cultivating acceptance of ADHD diagnosis and imperfect behaviors (Farmer et al., 2026). This presentation will provide a summary of the literature regarding ADHD and perfectionism and will describe how to utilize CBT and ACT interventions to address ADHD and perfectionism.

Dual relationships in behavioral health practice refer to any situations where multiple roles exist between a therapist and a client. Examples of dual relationships include when the client is also a student, friend, family member, employee, or business associate of the therapist. Boundary crossings and violations may occur in situations where dual relationships exist. While boundary crossings may be unavoidable and harmless in certain situations, such as when the clinician and client both live in a small community and see each other away from the therapeutic setting, boundary violations are those that are harmful and exploitative.

This EMDR certification training is designed to give clinicians a strong, practical foundation in working with trauma through both a neurobiological and relational lens. Rather than focusing only on protocol, this course helps participants truly understand what is happening in the brain and body when clients are overwhelmed by trauma. We will explore how traumatic experiences shape the nervous system, contribute to symptoms such as hyperarousal, dissociation, and affect dysregulation, and influence long-term patterns in health, behavior, and relationships. Concepts such as Polyvagal Theory, attachment, and Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) are woven throughout to help clinicians better understand the "why" behind what they see in session. From there, the training moves into clinical application. Participants will learn how to assess trauma presentations more accurately, differentiate between diagnoses such as PTSD, complex trauma, and borderline personality disorder, and use that understanding to guide treatment planning. Emphasis is placed on readiness, stabilization, and pacing ensuring that clients have the internal resources needed before moving into trauma processing. Clinicians will practice a range of somatic and imagery-based interventions, including resourcing, containment, and mindfulness strategies, to support safety and regulation throughout the therapeutic process. The second half of the training focuses on developing competence and confidence in EMDR itself. Participants will learn Shapiro's Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) model, the eight-phase protocol, and the use of bilateral stimulation, while also exploring modifications for complex and developmental trauma. Additional protocols for addictions and compulsive behaviors will be introduced. Through demonstration and guided practice, clinicians will build their ability to apply EMDR in a way that is attuned, flexible, and client-centered integrating nervous system regulation, attachment awareness, and clinical judgment to support meaningful and lasting healing.

Our entire country, with 95% of states creating legislation related to marijuana, is evolving its marijuana supply chain via the recreational and "medical" formulations. Yet, we as healthcare professionals are left with barely any education on these substances. More education is needed in order to actually provide tangible life-saving, or at least life-improving, patient education. Marijuana has been around for centuries and has never received more limelight than in recent years with respect to 95% of our country's states enacting legislation regarding "recreational" and/or "medical" marijuana, even though it remains a Federal DEA Controlled Substance Class One agent. So, how does that work in the criminal field? Better yet, how do we as healthcare professionals discuss such substances with our patients? This activity discusses all things cannabis, including botany concepts, legal concepts, and pharmacological concerns that every healthcare professional absolutely needs to know to provide "high" quality patient care.
