Join us for a lecture by Erika Malm Cooley, LCSW entitled "Debunking the Myth of Work-Life Balance: Everyday Choices to Live a Life of Meaning and Purpose."
Description
As women, professionals, mothers and partners, we receive numerous messages about the importance of creating a work life–balance. We’re encouraged to believe that if we just work hard enough, a sense of balance is attainable. This striving keeps us stuck on a wheel leading to nowhere— If we just try harder, we will get to who and where we want to be. However, our attempt to create external balance in our lives leads to internal feelings of inadequacy, and inevitably deep suffering.
In this experiential and participatory presentation, based in attachment theory, psycho-spiritual practices, and neurobiology, attendees are invited to consider challenging questions of what’s working and what’s not. The goal is to engage in a conversation that emphasizes connection with self and others, offering tools to facilitate living in a more fluid state of alignment, both in our work and home lives. Participants will leave with practical strategies to put into action on an everyday basis.
This event is co-sponsored by the SSW Office of Alumni Relations and the Smith College Club of New York City. Two CECs will be offered. Refreshments will be served.

Northampton, MA 01063
Join us for an evening presentation by David Levit, PhD, ABPP entitled "Somatic Experiencing: Interweaving a Bio-Psychological Model into Psychodynamic Therapy for Trauma and Dissociation."
Description
We know that the deepest disturbances must be reached to foster the deepest changes and growth. But what do we do when some of our patients suffer relentlessly through dissociated, dysregulated states of catastrophic proportions, when these states are repetitive but not generative, when our psychodynamic forms of holding, provision, and containment are just not good enough? After a number of years in psychodynamic practice, Dr. Levit trained in Somatic Experiencing (SE), a non-psychodynamic, bio-psychological model for treating trauma. He will present clinical process in order to explicate the SE model and to illustrate how SE perspectives and approaches can inform and enrich our psychodynamic ways of looking, listening, and responding. He will emphasize how SE can supplement and enfold into psychodynamic processes of intersubjective regulation, crucial for patients who are exquisitely vulnerable to severe over-activation (overwhelming anxiety, panic, terror, agitation, rage, explosiveness, etc.) and/or under-activation (freeze, numbness, emptiness, deadness, etc.). He will share a professional and personal journey of interweaving SE into psychodynamic therapy.
Two Continuing Education Credits will be offered and light fare will be served. This event is hosed by the Pioneer Valley Area Coordinators - Lisa Jaffe, M.S.W. '15, Amanda Starfield, M.S.W. '08, and Joan McKelvey, M.S.W. '88.

Please join us for a presentation/discussion by Janah Boccio, M.S.W. '03 entitled "Let's talk about sex: Expanding social workers' comfort with clinical discussions about sex and sexuality."
Description
Sex and sexuality are essential aspects of the human experience and, as such, our clients often raise these topics. Our discussion will offer an opportunity for social workers to explore aspects of sex and sexuality and to reflect on where they competently address the topics in their clinical settings and where they may intentionally or unintentionally avoid it in our work. Ms. Boccio will present a framework for understanding and addressing sex and sexuality and lead us in an exploration of these topics. Topics addressed will include: description of the range of sexual behaviors and sexuality; sexual trauma; and transference and countertransference with eroticized themes.
Two Continuing Education Credits will be offered. Refreshments will be served. This event is hosted by Janah Boccio, M.S.W. '03 and Wendy Bassett, M.S.W. '03.
