Transform Your practice: The and way™ virtual workshop for therapists

Promoting Peace, Justice & Transformative Conflict Resolution

In today’s politically charged world, conflict isn’t just on the news—it’s in your therapy room. More mental health professionals than ever are encountering clients struggling with political and ideological differences within their families, workplaces, and even themselves. How do you guide your clients through these difficult conversations without feeling drained or overwhelmed yourself?

This 3-hour, BHEC-accredited CEU interactive virtual workshop introduces The And Way™, a transformative approach designed to equip therapists with the skills to navigate conflict with clarity, compassion, and confidence. By integrating ethical conflict resolution strategies into your practice, you’ll gain the tools to support clients effectively, strengthen therapeutic relationships, and protect your own well-being.

Why This Training is Essential:

Mishandling political and ideological tensions in therapy can lead to fractured client relationships, emotional burnout, and ineffective treatment. This workshop will help you foster understanding, encourage constructive dialogue, and maintain professional boundaries—all while staying aligned with your values.

What You’ll Gain:

🌿 Recognize Psychological Rigidity: Understand how psychological rigidity impacts ethical decision-making and contributes to social and interpersonal conflict.

🌿 Differentiate Between Peacekeeping and Peacemaking: Learn the difference between avoiding conflict and engaging with conflict constructively —a key shift in promoting human dignity in therapy.

🌿 Apply Conflict Resolution Skills to Therapy Practice: Discover how parts language, dialectics, and conflict resolution techniques can increase self-awareness, mental flexibility, and personal healing—essential foundations for ethical practice.

🌿 Navigate Ethical Dilemmas Using Dialectics: Develop a dialectical approach to address micro (individual), mezzo (community), and macro (societal) conflicts.

🌿 Address Dehumanization and Labeling: Learn strategies to counteract dehumanization in therapy by fostering empathy and reducing "othering", ensuring an inclusive and healing environment for all clients.

🌿Build Tolerance for Discord and Complexity: Strengthen your ability to remain engaged in difficult conversations, balance competing values, and model resilience in conflict settings—both for your clients and yourself.
