Class 1

Changing our Lousy Stories: Designing an Outlook free from Preconceived Notions (3 CE credits)

10:00 AM – 1:00 PM EST

The human brain is filled with a startling concoction of stories about ourselves and the world that swarm in and out of consciousness at the speed of light. Unless we take time to shed light on our stories, our lives can be driven by old conclusions that do not serve us well in the present.

In this class we will look at the function that stories provide for our brain. We will look for the same qualities in the mix of “truths” embedded in DSM diagnoses, and increase our awareness of how our narratives about illness can actually limit healing.

Participants will fine-tune skills to help clients become aware of the sequels running through their brains, rewrite stories that do not serve them well, and move from a reactive stance to one where they are inspired to redesign their lives.

Class 2

Changing our Lousy Stories II: Designing the Constructs for Cultural Competence (3 CE Credits – Cultural Competence)

1:45 PM – 4:45 PM EST

In this training, we will look at the psychology and function of stereotypes. We will fine-tune our own awareness about how our brains unconsciously pull discordant constructs from our shared social history about groups of people. We will examine what we want to learn and unlearn. We will analyze the gifts and challenges of living in a diverse society. As an example, we will examine how the planned community of Columbia MD has spent the last 50 years trying (sometimes failing, sometimes succeeding) to create an integrated town, and consider ways to walk and work through distance, distrust and animosity.
