Description

NISD Counseling invites you to attend a "practice-shop" led by Ron Estes. This training encourages a move from note-taking to rendering practices that enable clients and therapists alike to come to novel and useful understandings. Rendering practices provide ways to stay close to clients’ experiences as we inscribe their expressions in and on their terms. How might we render clients’ expressions to align with what they place value upon? Rendering practices support listening and question-smithing in ways that can bring connected, relaxed, ethical, enlivened and effective conversations. This hybrid zoom / in-person training is designed for licensed and pre-licensed mental health professionals, students, case managers and others who keep clinical records. We will engage in new learnings, practice together and may even surprise one another with how we might shift our understandings of how we sit with those who have sought our consultation.

Fees: $110 licensed professionals, case workers, educators, etc. $70 students and pre-licensed associates $10 additional for a CE certificate (3 units) About the Speaker: Ron Estes, LMFT Ron is interested in the conditions that promote learning in conversations. He practices, consults, and teaches with an ever-growing community of narrative practitioners. Regular study in the 90’s with Michael White, Marie-Nathalie Beaudoin, and Jeff Zimmerman and current collaborations with Jan Ewing, Daniel O’Sullivan and NISD community members have shaped how he approaches practicing. Ron stays connected to physical and literary arts that inform the inseparability of physiology and the narratives we make that influence perception, meaning-making, action, identity and health. Toward this, he collaborates ongoingly with those in healthcare and a rich variety of artists. As well, Ron practices as a consultant to leaders of organizations.
