Decoding Teens
Jamie Roberts Nelson, LMFT
Life. Is. Rough. Teens are great at being in the here-and-now. So much so that they tend not imagine life past This. Very. Moment. Being a teenage is like walking a tight rope between childhood and being an adult. They know everything, yet they know nothing. Being able to meet this particular client right where they are means that we are connecting to our own experience as teens, which for many of us was not a pleasant time. In this session we will explore strategies for how to connect with a teen client, engage them in the therapy process and provide understanding during a time when “no one understands.” Additionally, we will discuss insights that will help parents and teens feel more connected. With a type of stealth therapy, we will explore strategies to help the next generation through an identity-building transition.
Objectives:
1. You will learn key elements of gaining buy-in from teen clients.
2. You will learn strategies for maintaining flexible boundaries while working with teens and their parents. 3. You will learn to increase your awareness of the unique existence that is the iGeneration.
4. You will learn how to incorporate interactive participation and stealth therapy.

At Our Last Meeting . . .
Music Therapy: A Binaural Frontier
The Bonny Method of Guided Imagery and Music (GIM)
AmyLynn Dimaano, MT-BC, CADC-II
This presentation included interactive demonstration and explanation detailing what clinical Music Therapy is and why it’s effective as an adjunct to conventional methodology. This included: Binaural foundations of how the human brain processes music and why this helps people in the therapeutic process of change. More specifically, delineation of the Bonny Method of Guided Imagery and Music (GIM), a specialty within the field of Music Therapy, its origins, research and efficacy for patients that are not finding success with traditional therapy. Particularly efficacious for treating trauma, grief, addictions and Depression, the Bonny Method is an imagery and music based therapeutic process that allows the patient to have an interactive experience in the treatment session itself. It can reveal previously untapped personal wisdom from the unconscious that often empowers the client outside the treatment setting to feel and behave differently.
Additionally, this presentation will address how “music IN therapy” can be used by clinicians to enhance other forms of therapy, safely, within their scope of practice.
Objectives:
1. Understand the binaural foundations of Music Therapy in any context (includes individual and group settings)
2. Comprehensively understand clinical Music Therapy as an adjunct therapy in Mental Health, specifically when to refer to a Music Therapist
3. Basic foundations of what the Bonny Method of Guided Imagery (GIM) is as a treatment modality
4. How to use music IN therapy as a traditional therapy clinician, within your scope of practice, safe interventions

President's Message:
As a Licensed Marriage Family Therapist and a business owner, I have the privilege of working with clinicians that include associates and practicum students. I remember the daunting task toward that dream of attaining 3000 hours. It is so easy to let anxiety creep in, “Will I get my hours, when will I get my hours, how will I survive financially, will I pass the tests?” can take you to a place of fear. At times it could cause you to forget why you are on this path, the path to make a difference in the lives of the populations with whom you work. For those of you reading this and resonating with what I am saying, try to trust in the process, one hour at a time. You will get there. That isn’t the end of the journey, but the beginning of another one. This is a season in your life that you may even miss some day. Remember life happens during the journey, not when the goal is attained.
Carol Rose Adkisson, President
