SUMMARY:GSAPP Webinar - Harm Reduction Psychotherapy for Substance Use and Other Addictive Behaviors
DESCRIPTION:This training will provide a clinical roadmap of harm reduction psychotherapy as a compassionate\, non-judgmental framework for engaging and treating clients navigating active substance use and addictive behaviors. Moving beyond traditional abstinence-only models\, this approach empowers clinicians to support a range of client-directed goals\, including abstinence\, moderation\, and safer use. Discussions will also focus on how to address the co-occurring complexities accompanying substance use such as a history of trauma\, relationship issues\, and mood and anxiety disorders. Therapeutic strategies to build compassion and collaboratively establish sustainable positive changes will be reviewed. Participants will gain practical skills to foster a collaborative therapeutic alliance\, help clients cultivate mindfulness practices\, and develop self-regulation skills. \nLearning Objectives \n\nIdentify three core principles of harm reduction psychotherapy.\nSummarize the efficacy of harm reduction strategies. \nDescribe how “urge surfing” can help with managing cravings and emotional triggers.\n\nInstructor Bio \nJenifer Levy\, PhD is a licensed psychologist with a private practice serving clients in New York\, New Jersey\, and Connecticut.  Dr. Levy specializes in the treatment of addictive issues and trauma from a harm reduction framework that is collaborative\, compassionate\, and non-judgmental.
