Parents' Survival Guide to Back to School
Evolution of Self Counseling is planning their next community event. It's hard to consider that school is just a month and a half away. We know that for some students, Back to School can be a time of excitement. For other students, it can be a time of dread. Transitions can be tough. Social anxiety can be tough. Having difficulties with interpersonal relationships can be tough. School avoidance may create stress for parent and student. Academic pressures can feel like a lot for parent and student. Evolution of Self Counseling wants to help. As part of our community support initiative, we are hosting our Parents' Survival Guide to Back to School the whole month of September.
The cost of the course is $50 for all 5 sessions. Participants who participate in all 5 sessions will receive a $50 gift card for their completion. The $50 cost is to ensure attendance, so we respect the donated time of our therapists.

Out of the Darkness: Ritual Abuse. What Is It and How Can We Help?
Organized and extreme abuse is a phenomenon in our society that remains in the shadows. Many survivors suffer in fear and silence. There are limited resources for understanding organized and extreme abuse due to the secrecy involved in its perpetration. OEA survivors often have dissociative disorders and complex internal systems. This 6-hour training provides an overview of some of the literature on Organized and Extreme Abuse and ways to recognize and treat.

Shadow's Birthday
I am celebrating my birthday today at Evolution of Self! Instead of gifts, I would love to invite you donate to my most favorite charity, Dog Squad. Dog Squad is a shelter-less animal rescue that gives pups a second chance. They helped my old co-worker, Bernie and are a charity after my own heart.
Also, if you want to bring me a meaty bone, I will not mind at ALL!!

Acute Stress Stabilization Remote Group
This informed procedure is a structured approach for clients who experience strong sensory input, intense physical sensations, or heightened emotions after a traumatic event. It is most effective in the initial hours, days, or weeks when clients show severe distress or a decline in their functioning. The main goal is to stabilize the individual by reducing or eliminating distress from their uncomfortable memories. This process helps activate the Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) system for better information processing of the event and experiences following the event. This method follows Psychological First Aid (PFA) principles, aiming to reduce distress and improve functioning. Ongoing care should be identified for patients needing ongoing support following the intervention.
