March Workshop Summary
Hoarding Disorder presented by Dr. Robin Zasio (2CEs)
The fine line where clutter ends and hoarding begins is the question of "Is this living space accessible and safe?" This is the idea with which Dr. Robin Zasio opens her presentation at our February training session. The concern about safety is not necessarily in the eyes of the person who hoards because they often do not recognize that what they do is unsafe. They often deny the safety aspect of their behavior by outweighing its importance with a what-if mentality: "What if I will need this later?" Their successful cognitive defense of their attachment to stuff leads them to create unsafe environment for themselves and for others.
People who get to the level of piling up stuff or even animals in their homes and storage spaces to the extent that they come to be considered for the diagnosis of hoarding disorder use a great number of cognitive distortions very effectively. They often enjoy the acquisition phase of their behavior with all-or-nothing-thinking ("If I don't buy it now I'll never find it again"), mind reading ("My daughter would want it"), or emotional reasoning ("I feel I'll never find it again so it must be true"). They may dread discarding their beloved items by fortune telling ("This is important so I will need it later"), should statements ("I should keep it because it would be a waste throwing it away"), or catastrophizing ("If I let it go, I'll always regret it"). Dr. Zasio explains that compulsive shopping and tremendous fear of discarding items, indecisiveness, perfectionism, isolation, avoidance or procrastination with good intentions to clean up often accompany the hoarding behavior. PTSD, major depression, OCD/OCPD, social phobia, and ADD are common co-occurring diagnoses.
Why would some people, even those who often function well in public arena, end up hoarding? Many times, when people sense that their living space starts to cave in on them or smells and becomes unsanitary, their internal alarm goes off and compels them to clean up and create space. People who have hoarding disorder have "faulty alarm systems", says Dr. Zasio. These people get alarmed when they have to clear their space by discarding things to which they have grown too attached.
Helping people who hoard would involve careful assessment and treatment of potential trauma, losses, grief, and attachment issues through therapy and/or medication. Forceful removal of the "collection" would only traumatize the person who would later double up on their effort to re-establish their sense of balance. Motivational Interviewing can dispel denial and start action and CBT can explore and reframe the dysfunctional beliefs. People who hoard can also buddy up with another person who hordes and set up "cleanup-and-lunch" dates, alternating between each other's homes. Dr. Zasio closes her presentation with the wisdom that people who hoard tend to have very astute eyes about what has to go when it is not about their own objects of attachment.

More than 2.5 million people suffer a traumatic brain injury (TBI) each year, and more than 5.3 million people live with the long-term effects of TBI. Brain injury can impact functioning across many domains, including cognitive, behavioral, physical, emotional, occupational, and interpersonal functioning. Psychiatric symptoms are very common in this population, yet mental health providers are often uncomfortable with or not knowledgeable about TBI and its role in these symptoms. This presentation will provide a general overview of TBI, including definition, prevalence, neuropathology, symptoms, and recovery, and highlight important clinical considerations for working with this population as a mental health provider. This presentation will cover brain injury basics (e.g., definition, prevalence, neuropathology, recovery following TBI), assessment (e.g., clinical interview), and interventions, including concussion management, development of compensatory strategies, and utilization of community resources.

No CEs will be awarded to persons arriving late or leaving early. Partial CE credit will not be awarded. Child-centered play therapy is unique because it provides children with an opportunity to fully express themselves in a safe environment that allows them to create meaning, learn to solve their own problems, make decisions, and better understand their feelings and how to express these feelings in healthy ways. This form of therapy provides children with the opportunity to make choices and learn how to solve their own problems. Through play, children reveal experiences, feelings/reactions to those experiences, what they need in their lives, and their self-concept. Adults spend most of our time directing children, inhibiting their creativity, and limiting their success. Play therapy creates an environment where children can derive meaning through experiencing challenges and success.

| Special Feature (If you would like your article published in our newsletter please email info@svccamft.org) End of Life Planningby Heather Cassandra Blessing, LMFT Most people know me as someone who always seems to have things planned and thought out. I usually am. Then on Sunday, I sat down with my brother to discuss what we needed to think about to make sure my mom's estate and end of life wishes are all planned for. She had done most of the work before, but it had been a long time since we have looked over it and she requested we go back over it. My brother would be meeting with my mother in a couple of days so we sat down and discussed everything that we needed to make sure. Then he asks me what about my own stuff. At first I felt pretty good because I could say that my funeral expenses are already taken care of, just a simple phone call needs to be done and several people have that number and the place handling it has all of my most recent information. Then my brother asked about my will. Once my kids turned 18, it became completely out of date. I really need to do it. So I came home and started looking for my stuff to redo my will and I came across a note stating I need to have a professional will for my private practice. I obviously had planned to do this. I am licensed as a MFT in Oregon and they make you select and give their licensing agency a name and contact number of someone who would be able to take over your clients records should you be unable to yourself. I have that done there, but not here in California. So I have done a little research and found some information that I find helpful: http://psychotherapytools.com/profwill_what.html and https://kspope.com/therapistas/will.php. I bought one of the products from the 1st website and it is pretty easy to use. I know none of us want to think about this but we really do need to. Just 2 years ago, I showed up for a my own personal therapy appointment. My therapist was not there, her car was not there and her door was locked. I called her and the phone was picked up by her sister. She passed away suddenly that weekend. They had no idea what to do and how to contact her clients. I had something similar happen just a few years earlier when I was an intern and my supervisor suddenly passed away. Since my information was on his website, I got lots of calls but I didn't have access or the ability to help. We need to plan so that if we are incapacitated or pass away, our clients will be able to get their records in a format that benefits them, and they should be able get referrals to help with the closure and grief that often comes with the loss of a therapist. We have to remember that if we work in private practice, we owe it to our clients to have a plan. ---------------------------- | |

This book, her second about gender in youth, expands upon the genders outside of the binary (male/female). She outlines in easy-to-understand terms the stages of gender identity development and provides a framework to support youth in exploring their gender.
