Sacred Aging. When many therapists think of working with aging populations, the initial thought is that the work will focus on loss and grief, end-of- life-planning and a declining life. However, many elders are living longer and wanting their lives to be vibrant and connected and all therapists working with adult populations should be prepared of offer effective support to elders in a clinical setting. Key themes in therapy are power and control reflected in conflicts with children who live nearby, sadness over what feel like missed opportunities professionally and excitement (and fear) over exploring new possibilities for how they want to live this last chapter of their lives. Client- This client has been seen for three sessions with a presenting concern of family conflicts with pulls from adult children and siblings as s/he settles into retirement and begins to explore interests which were set aside earlier in life.

The client has raised the issue of the impact of loneliness on his/her life and the challenge of loss of social connection as they age. Client is divorced and has expressed an interest on finding a companion.

Teen years can be extremely difficult, even in the best of circumstances. During these years emotions can be intense, and changes in mood occur very rapidly. Some of these feelings will be positive. One the other hand, some may also be negative and bring forth feelings of sadness, restlessness and irritability. It is usual to feel these types of negative feelings every now and then, but when these moody feelings last for weeks, months, or even years, it is a sign of a more serious mood issue. When teens find themselves taking little joy in activities they have previously enjoyed, appearing increasingly more irritable, and feeling fatigue and a general loss of energy, they may be experiencing symptoms of more serious problems that require assessment and treatment by a medical professional.In order to help teens successfully deal with moodiness, it is extremely helpful for facilitators to have a variety of appealing, user-friendly assessments and activities to help teens "open-up" and begin to feel as if their moods are less intense and more balanced, and that they are not alone. The Managing Moods Workbook for Teens provides assessments and self-guided activities to help teens reduce the intensity of moodiness and begin living more effective and fulfilling lives.The five chapters include:How Moody Are You? This section will help teens identify the depth of their moodiness and identify ways to decrease the intensity of this moodiness. Effects of Moodiness This section will help teens identify the ways that moodiness is affecting their health, relationships, work and social activities.Mood Triggers This section will help teens identify the ways that they experience moodiness in their lives through feelings, thoughts, and behaviors.Roller Coaster Moods This section will help teens identify the effects of mood instabilities in their lives.Erasing the Stigma of Moodiness This section will help teens explore the stigma of moodiness in their lives and the impact that the stigma has on them.

This training film explores the unique challenges of providing therapy to progressive activists and the knowledge and skills that are required create "safe enough space" for processing and healing. This session engages an African American activist who is dealing with the personal and political impact of the political shifts and the fear of losing political ground in her movement work in the aftermath of the 2016 Election. The client explores her emotional reactions of grief, anxiety and "activist fatigue." The therapist demonstrates the use of Power-based Therapy with her to name her experiences, honor her emotional responses, reduce isolation and connect with family and fellow activists for emotional and political support. The film seeks to build clinician confidence in exploring political issues in clinical setting and understanding the context of activists who must negotiate life challenges with the added complexity of centering their lives on social change.
