Live Oak's Growth Identity Change (LOGIC) Professional Development Series for 2012
Returning to Our Roots While Attending to our Futures

Live Oak's Growth Identity Change (LOGIC) Professional Development Series for 2012 is dedicated to the roots and foundations of sound clinical practice. With a focus on personal and professional development, the series creatively and innovatively addresses such topics as core relationship building skills, client-centered therapy practices, mindfulness and meditation skills, and creative/expressive therapies. Through multi-disciplinary trainers (social workers, counselors, artists, recreation therapists, music therapists, yoga instructors, and combinations thereof), each workshop offers mind-and-body stretching strategies for developing the personal and professional self.

Like past LOGIC Professional Development Series, "The Life of the Therapist" is grounded in Live Oak's core beliefs that the roots of a healthy life are integrity, authenticity, wholeness and connection. The LOGIC series is comprised of half-day and full-day workshops/institute days. The content of all seminars emphasizes fully integrating identity, roles and life experiences in order to maintain psychological health.

At Live Oak, we recognize the impact the economy has had on our work individually and collectively. In an effort to support professional growth, all workshops offered through LOGIC have returned to their 2005 costs: each three hour workshop is $60, and the cost of each six hour workshop is $100. Students and unemployed professionals may attend for half the regular workshop cost.

For more information and/or to register for any of the workshops, please visit our website at www.liveoakchicago.com. We are also able to bring training to agencies in Chicago, other cities in Illinois, or to other states. Questions regarding particular seminars or special arrangements may be directed to Jennifer Griffin via e-mail to jgriffin@liveoakchicago.com, or via phone at 773.880.1310, ext. 77624.

Psychotherapy & Yoga: Philosophy, Technique, and Practice

Presenter:
Erica Rumpel, MA, CYT
Trainer and Consultant, Live Oak, Inc.
Service Learning Coordinator, The Chicago School of Professional Psychology

Many clinicians have experienced and understand the benefits of traditional yoga and mindfulness practices and frequently refer clients to outside classes and programs. How can we as clinicians, bring these beneficial methods to our existing practices, reaching those clients who are too anxious, scared, or self-conscious to seek outside resources? How do we translate a physically based practice into a traditional psychotherapy session? Lastly, if we have an existing Yoga practice, how can it enhance our skills and inform our therapeutic styles as clinicians?

This workshop will provide participants with a knowledge base and yoga based strategies to integrate into traditional psychotherapy practices. Experiential activities, partner work, and reflective opportunities will allow participants to deepen their understanding of therapeutic yoga principles to begin using these practices immediately.
