Continuing Education Distance Learning Options: 

Lisa Schwarz Introduction to the Comprehensive Resource Model (CRM)

CA$260.00

Lisa Schwarz, M.Ed,Creator of Comprehensive Resource Model. 

Course Description: Comprehensive Resource Model


Healing from the impact of traumatic experiences requires that there is sufficient brain and body-based safety in order for survival terror and all painful/intolerable affects to be stepped into, felt fully, remembered/re-membered, and re-oriented toward so that transformation can occur. Full orientation toward profound grief, rage, shame, disgust, and terror allows for liberation of the truths of one’s life and facilitates integration of all aspects of all experience into the whole of one’s being, creating the ultimate connection to self as mind-body-spirit. The Comprehensive Resource Model (CRM) recognizes that the ability to stay fully present moment to moment during trauma processing is imperative to deep healing through attachment re-wiring. This is accomplished through the concurrent development of dormant healthy attachment neurobiology and thorough attachment trauma re-processing. This presentation is an introduction to CRM, a modality which clears attachment trauma/disruptions through the scaffolded development of internally-sourced neurobiological and neurochemical attachment resources. These attachment resources are the framework within which attachment trauma is healed; allowing for simultaneous re-processing, re-wiring and re-consolidation of attachment wounds from gestation to the present.  


This workshop provides: the theoretical case conceptualization that is the foundation for clinical practice in the healing of attachment issues; an overview of the development and nested use of clinical resourcing interventions, and some basic resourcing skills that can be used immediately to aid in affective/somatic regulation during and between sessions.

Distance Learning - When Words Fail: Expressive Arts Therapy Approaches to Loss and Grief with Cher Curshen

CA$260.00

When Words Fail: Expressive Arts Therapy Approaches to Loss and Grief

Featuring Guest Speaker: Cher Curshen


This one day workshop will provide participants with expressive arts interventions for therapeutic work with children, adults and families, as well as an understanding of these interventions.


When words fail us, expressive arts therapy cultivates curiosity and openness and the possibility to discover something new and unexpected, making visible what is often invisible and beyond words. Carl Jung stated that, “Often the hands will solve a mystery that the intellect has struggled with in vain” (Jung, 1989). It points to the use of expressive arts therapy and creative outlets to shift the focus from problem to the realm of imagery, narrative, sound and movement where our creativity and hands may help us to find a way forward towards healing.  


In this workshop, you’ll experience a highly interactive content including demonstration and practical application of expressive art interventions known to activate healing from grief, anticipatory grief and loss. 


After participation in this workshop, participants will be able to:


  • Augment their therapeutic tool kit within a research based expressive arts practice.
  • Identify at lease four expressive arts interventions
  • Articulate the basic premise behind the healing power of expressive arts therapy

3-Hour Training *Online $175+HST

Applies to certification – All certification levels


Sandtray Therapy Across the Lifespan with Kelly Smith


This interactive workshop will introduce participants to how sandtray can be used in therapy across the lifespan.

Participants will:


  • Learn about key elements of sand tray therapy and the types of sand trays that can be created
  • Bear witness to narratives of how individual figures have been used in the sand
