April 4

4:00PM – “Enneagram and Ethics” presented by Julie Kellogg, LMFT

            The Enneagram is a personality mapping tool that describes the nine main types of how people “see the world.” This tool is an effective therapeutic tool as it helps clinicians understand and appreciate innate differences among those they work with (clients, themselves, supervisees, fellow providers, etc.) and the dynamic challenges those differences can present. Clinicians who understand the Enneagram and its effect on interpersonal dynamics become more effective therapists who are better attuned to others and work ethically to be individually responsive.

7:00PM-- Dismissed for the evening

April 5

9:00AM—Emotional Inheritance: Love, Loss and the Legacy of Trauma by Dr. Galit Atlas

            This event will focus on ideas from Atlas’ book Emotional inheritance. It will introduce a relational model to thinking about the ways two subjectivities collude in promoting dissociation and the ways inherited trauma both finds shelter and comes to life in the analytic dyad. Atlas will discuss cases from her book to illustrate how patient and analyst enter each other’s inner world and discover themselves as participants within each other’s psychic life. The clinical tales will focus on emotional material that is passed down from generation to generation. It will discuss intergenerational trauma, the regulation of aggression, the power of attachment and the many faces of our emotional inheritance.
