Discover Reciprocal Resilience (RR), a transformative tool that can

Clients feel empowered to share their stories and work toward healing and growth in the circle of Reciprocal Resilience.
Get ready to explore challenges and booby traps encountered in effectively helping children navigate from childhood to adolescence to adulthood.

Guest Speakers
Presentations, Interviews, Q&A
Patricia Bratt, PhD
…Presents an innovative approach to promoting resilience in children, adolescents, parents, and the therapists who care for them.
Galit Atlas, PhD
Discover the power of Emotional Inheritance with Dr. Galit Atlas. In an interview with Dr. Patricia Bratt, she describes the ways in which we can listen to stories told and hear the unconscious echoes of generations in the conflicts of today. She will present an approach to understanding and untangling defense patterns that protect the child or adolescent and can interfere with growth into satisfying adulthood. Through her case stories, she demonstrates ways in which we can respond to the unconscious dynamics of Emotional Inheritance and weave them into a resilient, thriving life in the present.
Andy Cohen
A Mom Can’t Always Be a Grownup!
Andy Cohen, clinician. author, and artist advocates for acknowledgement of
the versions of our identity stored unconsciously as we navigate throughout life.
She will discuss some ways in which these resting selves are awakened in parents, as well as in the therapists or educators listening to life experiences of children and adolescents.
Cohen’s work involves helping clinicians, and the frustrated or fearful parents who seek help for their children, understand and tolerate that this natural process can present challenges to our emotional core. It requires an openness to discovering oneself and our silent, hidden emotional triggers. Most important, it can provide a valuable tool for developing a therapeutic alliance in our clinical work.
Claudia Luiz, PsyaD
The Making of a Psychoanalyst
Studying Emotional Education…
Claudia Luiz is a seasoned psychoanalyst author, and educator who understands the importance of preparing the mind for self-discovery. She will share vignettes of journeys with her patients that demonstrate how this is accomplished in the therapeutic process.
Together with Andy Cohen and Patricia Bratt, Dr. Luiz will discuss the ways the clinical process is enhanced when all involved are helped to be open to the range of feelings induced in the momentum of self-discovery. This inspiring and thought-provoking presentation will leave you with practical insights and tools to enhance your therapeutic practice.
