This course teaches the benefits of journal writing as an aid to the therapeutic process. While most psychotherapy is conducted through traditional talk therapy, writing offers clients another vehicle for venting thoughts and feelings, practicing healthy self-nurturing, preventing overwhelm, and gaining information about their internal and external experiences of life. This course includes descriptions of the various uses of journaling as well as detail on seven journal-writing techniques.

Journaling II offers 36 directed journal−writing exercises divided into three phases of use. It is designed for the practitioner who would like topic ideas for their clients in addition to traditional “freewriting.” It also offers interpretive questions coordinated with each exercise. (It is suggested, although not mandatory, that the practitioner has already completed course #20-13, “Writing It Out: Journaling as an Adjunct to Therapy,” which lays the foundation for understanding the benefits of journaling and how it can best be used with clients.)

While professionals have long worked with intact couples on parenting skills, they must now also be versed in teaching parents who live in separate homes how to establish healthy “co-parenting” abilities. This course provides a basic understanding of the significant issues unique to children of split couples and how to help co-parents address these issues while at the same time overcome the blocks that prevent them from working together in a healthy way.

Nearly every client who walks through a health professional’s door is experiencing anxiety. Even if they are not seeking treatment for a specific anxiety disorder, they are likely experiencing anxiety as a side effect of other issues. Clinicians who can teach anxiety management techniques have tools that can be used in nearly all clinical settings and diagnoses. Anxiety management benefits the clinician as well, helping to maintain energy, focus, and inner peace both during and between sessions. This course offers a comprehensive collection of ready-to-use anxiety management tools.

Statistics show that Americans are increasingly overweight. Among the factors contributing to this is the component of “emotional eating” – or the use of food to attempt to fill emotional needs. Even clients who do not bring this as their presenting problem often have it on their list of unhealthy behaviors that contribute to or are intertwined with their priority concerns. While not an easy task, it is possible to learn methods for dismantling emotional eating habits. The goals of this course are to present information about the causes of emotional eating and provide a body of cognitive and behavioral exercises that can help to eliminate the addictive pattern.
