Deep TMS and Beyond 

Dr. Kotomori


This presentation will focus on transcranial magnetic stimulation, the various forms of transcranial magnetic stimulation, the theory behind transcranial magnetic stimulation, and the modalities available commercially in the  United States.  

Summary:

Therapeutic interventions with brain stimulation can take the form of electromagnetic induction of seizures, direct current induction of seizures, electrodes implanted directly into the brain, transcranial electrical stimulation, and transcranial magnetic stimulation. Clinical use of these modalities at this point is limited to electroconvulsive therapy and transcranial magnetic stimulation and direct implantation of electrical leads in the brain. The mechanisms of action are not always clearly known but I will discuss the theoretical framework that supports their use, the science involved, and clinical importance.

Objectives:

Participants will be able to:

  1. Name FDA Indication for TMS

  2. Outline likelihood of response to medications according to STAR -D data

  3. Outline likelihood of response to TMS with similar patient populations

  4. Describe the contraindications and side effects of TMS

At Our Last Meeting . . . 

How do I talk to my grieving client? The “stuff” to know, and the words not to use

Jill A. Johnson-Young, MSW, LCSW

This presentation brought participants into the world of grieving clients and the experiences they have had before they reached our doors. Grieving clients have some very specific needs, and some that they are unaware they are bringing to you. They have others that will never come up without your invitation- and they need you to have the knowledge base to meet those needs. Can you provide the environment and therapeutic approach to meet their needs?

·        Do you know what the dying process looks and sounds like?

·        Do you have the words to re-educate your client if they misunderstood what they experienced and saw?

·        Can you address the self-blame and guilt that comes with the death of a loved one by reframing it with a reality-based approach.

·        Are you fully aware of the words and phrases that no grief client ever wants to hear, especially in the safety of their therapist’s office?

·        Are you ready to really, really hold space?

Grieving clients are facing fear, guilt, anxiety, and sadness. They frequently put their grief needs behind those of the others grievers in their family, and their therapist is one of the few safe places they can find support when they are struggling. They have frequently heard they are supposed to be experiencing “stages” and that they are not doing their grief process the way they are supposed to.

This presentation provided us with a description of the dying process, the most common experiences of grievers, the words to use and the ones to avoid, and framed grief work as a solution-focused process, not stages, and not one that never ends. It prepared us to meet our grief clients where they are, and to walk them through to their new life.

Objectives:

1. Participants were able to describe the dying process with appropriate language

2. Participants were able to identify the most 5 common emotions associated with grief

3. Participants understood the impact of the words and phrases their grief clients have heard, and identified three ways to empower the client to answer them

4. Participants were able to contrast the five stages of anticipatory grief for a dying person versus the experience for their grief client after a death,and to create a treatment plan with their clients that has reasonable expectations that fit the grief experience.

President's Message: 


Happy April, everyone! I hope everyone is enjoying their spring so far. At IE CAMFT, we are welcoming spring by preparing to nominate a new team of officers. We are very lucky to have such wonderful leadership who put in a lot of team work every month to bring us our CEU events. Though we are committed to continuing to bring you quality events and support as an organization, you may have noticed in the recent email regarding the upcoming election that our team will be changing. I encourage you all to come and share your voice by voting at our next meeting. I also hope you will join me in welcoming our new team, who will continue working together to grow and strengthen our chapter.


Amanda Cavicchi, MA, LMFT
