COURSE DESCRIPTION

Licensing boards serve important roles in the larger healthcare landscape by protecting the public, standardizing training requirements, and disseminating accurate information regarding the field. At the same time, mental health clinicians (and other healthcare clinicians) may notice high amounts of worry thoughts, intense fear, and persistent anxiety when thinking about or interacting with licensing boards. This fear is often driven by concerns around loss of license and like most fear, can lead to reduced problem solving strategies, rigid thought process, and inadvertent increases in risky behaviors due to lack of discussions regarding ethical concerns.

This training uses a conceptual framework proposed by Linehan (1993, 2014) as well as other emotion regulation theorists (e.g. Gross, 2014, Ellis, 1977) to find a synthesis between avoiding complaints and tolerating the reality that a complaint may occur. We will work together to find ways to improve our emotion regulation around these topics and find behaviorally specific next steps together!
