Greetings Fellow Healers!

Moonstone Center's Treatment Network of Professionals led a very well-received 6 Hour CE Event at the Beach House on Friday, May 18!  The Power of Collaborative Treatment Teaming:  Bridging Complementary-Alternative Therapies with Traditional  Mental Health Treatment presented by JoAnn Fitzpatrick, MFT, Simone Marke't, Yoga Therapist, and Kathleen Lowry, L.Ac. Dipl.Ac. (NCCAOM), Licensed Acupuncturist and myself, was a huge success!  Not only was the presentation invigorating for all in attendance, including the presenters, it served as a meaningful networking opportunity for like-minded professionals who have long-valued or are just beginning to integrate mind-body-spirit process in their approach to mental health treatment.  Participants ranged from those just newly licensed to those who have practiced mind-body psychotherapy for over 30 years!  How powerful for Healers of all ages and stages of development to engage one another. 

Join Moonstone Center at future CE Events, we approach each with a commitment to dynamic education in a setting of self care.   SAVE the DATE for Moonstone Center's next 6 Hour CE Event, Restoring the Healer: Exploring Somatic Transference and Compassion Fatigue scheduled for Saturday, October 27, 2012 (see below for more info).  It will be led by Simone Marke't, Yoga Therapist and myself.  And check out where I will be speaking in July (see below)!

Under SELF-CARE on the SideBar, check out the link to Marianne Williamson's books...she remains a steady source of spiritual sustenance and wisdom over time.  I am reading The Gift of Change at this time as part of my morning reading and meditation.

  Welcome to June! And Summer!  Be sure to take time with your family, friends, life partner...even a couple of nights away from home  or simply a day off focused on play can create a sense of vacation which is very much needed when we are considering care of self.  And, self-care includes attention to our relationships with our children, spouses, friends, and partners.  Take time.  Summer is Calling!_________________________________________________________________________________________
  

SAVE the DATE!

 Saturday, June 23

The ultimate good and safe treatment of a client or patient requires the therapist to have awareness of the underlying mind-body processes that re at play in the therapeutic relationship.  I this CE offering, Dr. Crim collaborates with trusted Yoga Therapist, Simone Marke't, to address the mind-body process of somatic transference and counter-transference that exists and can emerge in the process of ethical and effective therapeutic relationship.  Somatic Transference the neuro-physiological organizing activity of the relational dynamics between therapist and client, and compassion fatigue and vicarious trauma that may develop for therapists and healers will be addressed.  The role of therapists' self care is critical to ethical treament of patients will be explored. The neuro-physiological theory and techniques of Yoga Therapy that can positively affect mind-body processes of therapists and clients will be addressed.  All levels of experience with yoga (none to advanced) can participate safely.
