2024 Annual Conference with Patrick Kalscheur

THE INTEGRATED PROFESSIONAL

Building a Bridge from Internal Awareness to Aligned Practices & Effective Interdisciplinary Teams

Friday, May 31st
9:30AM - 5:00PM

at Timberline Lodge

Tickets can be purchased here.

Course Overview:

Love and fear; joy and pain; hope and loss. We have all likely seen our clients swing between these extremes in emotion. Helping divorcing spouses navigate these extremes and finding a middle ground where they can simultaneously honor their feelings of love and fear or hope and loss unlocks the door to finding a peaceful resolution. They become centered, regulated, and able to engage in negotiations. This is what I call integrated negotiation.

One way to help clients effectively come into an emotionally regulated, integrated space, is for us to learn the tools to do this for ourselves. When we create a deeper awareness of our emotional experiences, when we learn to honor our own experiences of fear while simultaneously accessing reservoirs of love, we become authentically empowered, integrated professionals that can communicate effectively. We come into alignment with our true selves.

We attract the clients we most desire, and we learn to become better interdisciplinary team members. This is what I call the Integrated Professional.

During this workshop, we will explore various tools that help us enhance our own experiences of internal awareness. We will work together in small groups to try out different tools, share what works and what does not, and develop our own practices that we can take home. We will also explore the teachings of Dr. Richard Schwartz (founder of the Internal Family Systems therapy model) and Gary Zukhav (author of “Seat of the Soul” and “Universal Human”) and the application of these teachings to our peacemaking work.

We will work together in small groups to apply these tools and these teachings to two facets of our work. First, we will examine how we can use these tools to create more effective collaborative teams and how to better navigate when problems on the team arise.

Finally, we will explore how becoming an integrated professional can help us become aligned with the type of practice we want to create and attract the clients we most desire. All the while we will be enhancing our peacemaking skills to be better mediators, collaborative professionals, and collaborative team members.

This workshop is open and ideal for both new and experienced professionals of all backgrounds that work with families restructuring their families through separation and divorce. If you work with clients experiencing intense emotions, or if you support professionals that do, then this workshop is for you.
