    Where Do My Feelings End and Theirs Begin? Using All of Our Countertransference to Understand and Guide Our Groups



    Dave Kaplowitz, LMFT, CGP


    Event Description

    Countertransference has been named and studied since Freud first identified the phenomenon. Much has been discussed and written about the topic including how group leaders respond to the powerful inductions that can occur. There is a broad range of opinions among group leaders about the importance of the emotions they experience in their work. 

    A willingness to feel is the gateway to metabolizing the difficult emotions that leaders encounter and to use those induced feelings constructively. This workshop will address how to identify emotions in ourselves and toward others, and how to use these emotions as leaders. We will examine how our own thoughts and feelings become entwined with those of our group members. There will be a mix of didactic and experiential learning including a demo group and a large group discussion.

    Workshop Objectives:

    The participant will be able to:

    1. Name the four core emotions.

    2. Explain the difference between emotions inside and those toward others.

    3. Identify common reasons for countertransference resistance.

    4. Describe three ways group leaders can use their emotions in the moment to formulate interventions.

    3 CEUs available for Social Workers, LPCs, LMFTs, and Psychologists

    Registration Opens March 17

    Facilitated by: Kristen Wicke, LPC, CGP and Monrovia Van Hoose, LCSW, CGP

    Event Description:

    If you provide therapy to adolescents, or if you have considered serving this population but felt hesitant, this institute is for you. Teenagers in our community are experiencing a heightened incidence of mental health issues. Many factors contribute to the rise, including the pandemic, adverse effects of social media, backlash to expanding acceptance of diversity in gender and sexuality, proliferation of substance use, and social isolation.  In this institute, we will address the benefits and challenges of providing group therapy to teenagers, along with special concerns of which the clinician should be aware.  This training will have a brief didactic component, but the weekend will be a primarily experiential group process. Using the collective wisdom and experience of participants, we will work through common themes and issues when leading adolescent groups. At the end of the weekend we will debrief and have a question and answer session about the group process.   


    About the Presenters: 

    Monrovia specialized in tweens, teens, and young adults from 2007 – 2022. Through trial, error, and lots of training, she learned how to navigate parents, risky behaviors, and the wild, wonderful changes that facilitate the emergence from childhood into adult independence. She is now branching out into the role of trainer and teacher for therapists who feel called to work with this exhilarating cohort of humans.


    Kristen has been providing group therapy to adolescents since 2016.  She enjoys the blazing world of adolescence with all of its impulsiveness and vehement loving and hating.  She has pieced together an approach to working with teenagers in groups from regular consultation and trainings through the American Group Psychotherapy Association, Austin Group Psychotherapy Society and the Center for Group Studies. Noting the lack of specific training on working with adolescents in ongoing interpersonal process groups, Kristen seeks to fill this gap and inspire more therapists to start their own teen groups.


    What Are Group Institutes?

    Institutes are a highly experiential form of small group teaching led by experienced instructors. They are intended to develop therapy skills relevant to leading groups. They often offer a chance to explore a particular theme in greater depth or to experience a different theoretical approach. Institutes are primarily designed for mental health professionals who have clinical psychotherapy experience. While institutes are not therapy, they are process-oriented and it is expected that they may stir feelings spanning the whole range of human experience. Members agree to attend the entire group, to participate actively, and to respect the confidentiality of the other members. The secure environment of these small groups allows for rich cognitive and deep emotional learning about group process and oneself, not to mention a chance for personal and professional renewal.

    4. Explore common transference and countertransference experiences when working with teens.

    5. Ethics – discuss ways to navigate risky behaviors, especially in regards to involving parents and/or breaking confidentiality.

    Friday Night Conversation: Exploring Clinical Retirement: The Good Goodbye

    Hosted by:  Lisa Mersky, LCSW, CGP




    Event Description  A personal account of Lisa Mersky's thoughts about preparing to retire from her clinical practice, and her experiences throughout and after retirement.

    Information about the Presenter Lisa Mersky retired December 2022 from a 37 year private practice of individual, group and couples psychotherapy in Austin, Texas. She was one of the founding members of AGPS. Her retirement goal is to get rid of her unwanted superpower of always knowing what time it is, and to detach from living by the clock. In the meantime, she is pursuing her creative interests of writing poetry and making mixed-media art, and trying to learn how not to be busy!

    Learning Objectives:

    1. Participants will evaluate where they are at in the developmental life span of their clinical practice.

    2. Participants will begin to formulate a framework of how to end a clinical practice.

    In person event. Location given at registration.

    Charge: There is no charge for this event.

AGPS General Event Descriptions

WHAT IS A WORKSHOP?

Workshops are part lesson and part experiential process. Presenters provide education on a topic and insight into how to use techniques in a group therapy setting. The experiential portion often includes a “fishbowl” where participants volunteer to be part of a demonstration group therapy process led by the presenter and observed by other attendees. Finally, participants have time to ask questions and provide observation of the group session.

WHAT ARE DIVERSITY DIALOGUES?

The Diversity Dialogues are a conversation series intended to provide a safe space for mental health professionals to discuss critical topics in regards to race, culture, gender, age, ability, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, nationality, and religion in our community and around the world. Participants can heighten their awareness, become comfortable in engaging in intersectional dialogue, and utilize the understanding obtained to expand beyond cultural competency to the action of social justice.

WHAT ARE INSTITUTES?

Institutes are a highly experiential form of small group teaching led by an experienced leader intended to develop general therapy skills relevant to leading groups. These process-oriented groups are primarily designed for clinical professionals and often offer a chance to explore a particular theme in greater depth or to experience a different theoretical approach. The secure environment allows for rich cognitive and emotional learning about group process and oneself, as well as a chance for personal and professional renewal.

WHAT ARE FRIDAY NIGHT CONVERSATIONS?

These evenings were born from a desire to connect in a more personal setting and discuss meaningful issues affecting our professional lives and identities. They are available to members every few months with varied topics and hosts.
