SUMMARY:Embrace Pleasure: How Psychedelics Can Heal Our Sexuality
DESCRIPTION:Embrace Pleasure: How Psychedelics Can Heal Our Sexuality\nAn Interactive Workshop on Sex\, Psychedelics\, and The Power of Pleasure\n\nwith DeeDee Goldpaugh\, LCSW\nThursday\, October 9\, 2025 from 7:00PM-9:00PM on Zoom\n2 NYS CE and AASECT Credits! \n\nAfter several decades of clinical research into their therapeutic potential\, psychedelic medicines in clinical contexts stand to shift the paradigm of how we have approached the treatment of depression\, anxiety\, trauma\, and other mental health issues. However research into the impact of psychedelics on sexuality is just beginning. In this interactive presentation\, clinician and author Dee Dee Goldpaugh will outline the emerging research on psychedelics and sexuality\, but go far beyond that to ask questions about how prohibiting pleasure has molded our current drug laws\, why pleasure is omitted from the narrative about psychedelic healing\, and how psychedelics can help us to embrace our erotic power for optimal sexual experiences and sexual self-actualization.  \nBased on their new book\, Embrace Pleasure: How Psychedelics Can Heal Our Sexuality\, Dee Dee will provide practical education on psychedelic preparation and integration in sex therapy practice\, explore how different psychedelic medicines impact sexual satisfaction and pleasure\, and offer a new framework for working with sexual trauma. Grounded in research\, this presentation will also strive to critique the neo-liberal and capitalist structures that exist in our society and in psychedelic science that prevent us from embracing pleasure\, creating community\, and engaging in meaningful erotic connection while centering on the uplifting message that pleasure (and psychedelics medicines) have the power to heal us.  \nAbout the Presenter: \nDee Dee Goldpaugh\, LCSW is a psychotherapist\, consultant\, educator\, and author. They are the Clinical Director of Chrysalis Integrative Psychotherapy\, the Women\, Gender Diversity\, and Sexual Minorities Advisor for The Chacruna Institute for Psychedelic Plant Medicines\, and they are part of the Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy team at the Woodstock Therapy Center. Dee Dee has authored the first paper to appear in an academic journal describing Psychedelic Integration Psychotherapy techniques that incorporate spirituality for sexual trauma survivors. They also served as a Clinical Supervisor for the EMBARK approach to Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapy in addition to having facilitated numerous Ketamine-Assisted Transformational retreats. Dee Dee has been a frequent presenter at international conferences including the Interdisciplinary Conference on Psychedelic Research\, Psychedelic Culture\, Psychedelic Science. They have over seventeen years of professional clinical experience and training in diverse modalities including EMDR\, Internal Family System\, Sex Therapy\, psychodynamic\, and transpersonal therapy models and are the author of the book Embrace Pleasure: How Psychedelics Can Heal Our Sexuality.

SUMMARY:Cultivating Change: Case Studies Illustrating the Use of Multiple Lenses in Engaging Substance-Using Clients
DESCRIPTION:Cultivating Change:\nCase Studies Illustrating the Use of Multiple Lenses in Engaging Substance-Using Clients\nwith Jen Levy\, Ph.D\, Sonya Lazarevic\, MD\, and Nicole Kosanke\, Ph.D \n\nSaturday\, October 26th\, 2024 10am-2:45pm on Zoom\nApproved for 4.5 CE Credits! \n\nThis is an interactive\, multi-presenter day of programming for clinicians working with individuals and families with substance use challenges. This workshop will provide the essentials of a harm reduction/mindfulness approach with Jen Levy\, Ph.D.\, how to use addiction and functional medicine with Sonya Lazarevic\, MD\, and treatment approaches for families and loved ones of those impacted by substance use issues with Nicole Kosanke\, Ph.D. \nAddressing Addictive Issues from a Harm Reduction Framework \nFollowing an overview of the current status of the addiction treatment field\, there will be a discussion of a harm reduction-informed approach that encompasses a range of positive change goals. Case presentations will address both the underlying meaning and function of addictive issues\, along with offering mindfulness-based skills to support the change process. The impact of trauma on the development and treatment of addictive issues will be explored as well. Participants will learn practical skills to work with cravings and reduce risk through guided practices that can be applied in a range of clinical settings. \nConventional and Integrative Approaches in Addiction Psychiatry \nThe discussion will outline medications prescribed in stages of use\, from abstinence to harm reduction\, focusing on the most common substances of use. An integrative approach will be mapped out\, including layers of care from a functional and regenerative approach. Psychotherapists’ role as critical pieces in front-line engagement will be explored. A case example will be used to encourage an interactive discussion. \nThe Invitation To Change Approach: How to Help a Loved One Change \nBeing in a close relationship with someone who is using substances is often stressful and confusing. Outlining the Invitation to Change approach will highlight three major areas of research-based strategies for having a positive impact on a loved one: 1) understanding motivation and the change process in a constructive way\, 2) using positive reinforcement and effective communication tools\, and 3) practicing skills of self-awareness/compassion.
