Ego State Approaches for Perinatal Mental Health (with and without EMDR) Self-Paced
with Mara Tesler Stein, PsyD, PMH-C and Robin Shapiro, LICSW
This on-demand/asynchronous workshop first reviews core concepts in ego-state therapies and in perinatal mental health. Building on that foundation, it guides participants to exploration and understanding of their own ego-states and how they intersect with issues that present with perinatal clients. Then, delving in-depth into common perinatal themes, it teaches participants how to integrate case conceptualization and apply ego-state approaches to this work. Finally, it explores specific, complex issues that arise in the perinatal period, applying ego-state approaches. This course utilizes demo, discussion, and personal experiential exercises.
This workshop contains recordings from a live workshop held in September, 2023.
