Join us on March 23rd at Total Wine and More at North Hills in Raleigh, NC for a workshop on the “In-depth Use of Psychological Type in Counseling and Psychotherapy.” This LPANC event will take place from 2-3:30p.m., and the event is free for members and $10 for non-members.
Sondra VanSant, LPC, CCMHC (ret) will present on some of Carl Jung’s basics on psychological type and then explore how psychological type fits in with Jung’s broader view of the psyche and the process of individuation. Implications for work with client issues will be suggested along with opportunity to work with a case example. The new clinical version of the MBTI™ will also be introduced as an instrument that helps clients and their therapists actually measure how effectively a person is using all of their mental functions of perception and judgment, not just their preferred functions.
The program offers a preview of a two day workshop on the topic Sondra will be leading in Chapel Hill on April 19th and 20th under the auspices of the Center for Application of Psychological Type (CAPT), an in-depth program that offers 14 CEUs.

Speaker:
Dr. Susan Head
Description: Mindfulness has been described as a particular way of paying attention, on purpose, in the present moment, without judgment. The key component of most meditation practices, it is a skill that can be developed by anyone to transform how we experience life. This presentation will provide an overview of mindfulness, describe the difference between the “doing” and “being” modes of mind, examine the multidimensional phenomenon of pain, and show how mindfulness practices can be used to transform the experience of pain. Experiential practices and real-life examples will be used to illustrate key points in the presentation.

She completed her internship at Duke University Medical Center in 1991 and was on faculty at the Duke University Diet and Fitness Center for the next 7 years.

She has been a meditation practitioner for 15 years and has been using mindfulness in her clinical work for the past several years.

I hope that the new year brings each of you peace and harmony.
IN this new year I have assumed the role of Region 3 representative for LPCANC.
What this means is that I will be coordinating workshops and luncheons with guest speakers who will touch on various mental health topics
such as stress management, PTSD in the Military and adoption and special needs children.
Upcoming workshops will begin Friday, January 22, 2010 and continue on a regular basis every two months.
I will post information on future speakers and as the year begins to take shape and we complete some of these workshops I would like to hear from colleagues regarding their ideas for future education opportunities.
