Self-Study

SELF-STUDY ONLINE SEMINAR

This seminar is clinically-based for anyone invested in improving their skills.

For only New York State Licensed LMSWs, LCSWs, LMHCs, and CASACs,

2 CEUs are available once the post-test and evaluation are completed.


Trauma affects the body, mind, and soul of a person and often has far-reaching devastating effects. These effects are because a person comes away from the trauma with half memory of what happened, causing a person to be stuck. Through memory theory, we’ll discuss how to make the memory whole again, taking it into the prefrontal cortex where I can be processed, and a person can begin to move forward in their life. Based on Narrative Therapy (NT).


Join the SWEET Institute and Jodi Aman, expert Self-Care Health Professionals, and learn about:

  1. to conduct a therapeutic interview that doesn’t re-traumatize the client,
  2. why trauma has such far-reaching effects on the body, mind, and soul, and
  3. memory theory and how it affects trauma recovery.

Here's what our attendees are saying about SWEET Seminars:

"I'm truly grateful that our field of mental health includes professionals as yourselves that intentionally and passionate given back to our field. This was my first experience with SWEET and I'm utterly grateful. Thank your for the incredible labor that we as consumers don't see, but that you put out to make SWEET what it is today. You are very appreciated, valued, and prayed for. Thank you!"

- Corey, LCSW
