Have you ever wondered how to help clients open up their relationship? Or do you work with non-monogamous clients and notice feeling drained in the process of endless shifts in a relationships’ agreements, boundary enforcement, and can't shake the feel like they keep looking to you to be the judge, jury, and mediator? Your facilitators for the day, Tess and Cara Mielke, GET IT. That’s why they put together a 6 CEU event for BSW, BBHT, and BMFT (with 1 Cultural Competency and 1 Ethics), where you'll get less “boring lecture” and more “get your hands dirty” learning.

Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder (OCPD) is one of the most common personality disorders in the US, affecting 3-8% of the US population. Despite its prevalence, it is often eclipsed in education, research, practice, and culture, by other personality disorders, like Borderline Personality Disorder, which affects 1.4%, or its clinical cousin, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), which affects 2-3% of the US population. This discrepancy leaves clinicians under-prepared to support people and relationships impacted by the unique set of issues that OCPD brings forth. You don’t have to be intimidated by it… much like the clients themselves, you can learn how to manage it!
