Quick REMAP Level 1 Workshop – 2016 Dallas, TX

March 5, 2016

On April 9th and 10th, 2016, I will be offering a Quick REMAP Level 1 Workshop in Dallas.  This seminar has been organized to provide training to a group of therapists from Fort Worth who wanted the Quick REMAP skills available within their practice.  Although, I am not mailing an announcement of the training to the local therapist community, anyone who has been wanting to take this professional training is welcomed to register.  As usual, 12 hours of continuing education is provided for those wanting LPC, LMFT and social worker CEs.

I have decided to limit my REMAP training events to the Dallas area for now and to video presentations that I have already filmed or will film in the future.  I appreciate all of the requests that I have received about holding other live training events and I am happy to make the March training available now.

Third Annual Compassion Fatigue Symposium 2014

March 3, 2014

PTSD, Stress, Secondary Trauma and Compassion Fatigue: 14 Steps that Help
by Steve B. Reed, LPC, LMSW, LMFT

 

The Third Annual Compassion Fatigue Symposium 2014: Your Path to a Balanced Life is being held on Friday March 21st, 2014.  The location is 515 Custer Rd., Richardson, Texas 75080.  My presentation will focus on the adverse impact of stress on our ability to function.  It will also offer 14 steps to increase resilience and coping capacity.

Secondary trauma and compassion fatigue are serious problems facing people in the helping professions.  Without the ability to mediate the rising build up of stress, many professionals including physicians, psychotherapists, clergy, social workers and those who work in nursing facilities can ultimately risk burnout.

This SlideShare presentation illustrates some of the key points of the lecture.  It focuses on helping the participant understand the concept of coping capacity and how a combination of routine stress and traumatic stress can build up to push a person over the limit of their endurance.  This can result in a cumulative stress overload effect that can contribute to secondary trauma and lead to compassion fatigue then ultimately burnout.

Six healthy habits and three ways to manage your mind are highlighted.  Finally, I share my preferences regarding ways to eliminate traumatic stress that has already built up.  This slide deck has links to many other resources including videos, articles and research.  Some of the links offer easy to follow videos that will teach you how to utilize stress-relieving breathing, Quick REMAP’s mindfulness tool — the KAVE technique, and the first four acupoints from Quick REMAP.

Quick REMAP Level 1 Workshop — Scheduled for Dallas

May 26, 2013

After numerous requests, I have scheduled a Quick REMAP Level 1 Workshop for the Dallas area.  The training will be held on Friday and Saturday, the 28th and 29th of September, 2013.

After presenting a number of trainings last year in the US and Europe, it was time for a rest.  So I have taken off the fist two thirds of this year to refresh.  I appreciate all of the requests that I have received about holding other training events and I am happy to make the September training available now.

Although I will be sending an email announcement this summer about the training, feel free to go ahead and contact me to secure your place at the training.
