PCIT Workshop in Germany a Success!

11/28/2018

 
The past three days have been the most amazing professionally I have ever experienced. There are no words to describe what it's like to not only train in another culture but also in another language. I learned so much about PCIT training in Germany, and I was able to put newly learned vocabulary into practice. PCIT is my passion, and I love being able to speak another language, so bringing the two together was simply amazing. I return to Germany in January for the second half of the PCIT training and am already excited about it! Wolfgang and his wife, Martine, are amazing trainers and hosts. I feel beyond fortunate to have this opportunity. Check out the photos below for some photos of me training, the workshop in progress, and me role-playing a behaviorally dysregulated child while Martine role-played the parent learning to ignore as Wolfgang coached her. So much fun!!!

Preparing for PCIT Workshop in Germany

11/25/2018

Tomorrow I start working on requirements to become a PCIT Level II (Regional) Trainer. One of the mentors I'm working with is Wolfgang Briegel, M.D., a PCIT Master Trainer in Germany. I'm at Leopoldina Krankenhaus (hospital), staying in a guest suite, and preparing for the portion of the training I'm conducting tomorrow. We will be training therapists from Germany, Switzerland, and Austria. I'm so excited (and a little nervous!) to train individuals in PCIT across cultures and in another language. I'm so grateful for this opportunity to further expand my skills in training as well as enhance my German language abilities. I'll be capturing photos over the next three days of the training, so be on the lookout for another blog post later this week :-)

PCIT International World Congress 2018

6/26/2018

 
I'm beyond excited to be at the first PCIT International World Congress being held in Schweinfurt, Germany. I had the honor to present a mini clinical skills workshop on my adaptation of PCIT for traumatized youth--"Trauma-Focused PCIT (TF-PCIT):  Combining PCIT and TF-CBT." My presentation was one of two scheduled during the first time block after opening remarks and the Keynote speaker. The workshop was well-attended, and I had the opportunity to meet many PCIT providers from around the globe after I presented. A little side note:  I had submitted my proposal for this workshop in German but was asked to present in English. When I started my presentation, I did my introduction in both German and English. Despite the normal kind of anxiety that comes along with presenting in front of a room of professionals, I had fun sharing my experiences with this adaptation and leading attendees in hands-on activities I use in these sessions. Thank you to my PCIT colleagues who assisted with handing out materials and capturing this photo of me presenting!

I spent the rest of the day attending workshops on the use of PCIT with Autism, coaching for engagement with Autism, learning about pro's and con's of PCIT vs. use of stimulant medication as a first choice of treatment for ADHD, and reducing drop-out. The rest of the program looks amazing as well. I'm looking forward to learning more about the many facets of PCIT occurring around the world and networking with other professionals in the PCIT International community.
I've included with this post the convention program as well as the slides from my presentation:

My PCIT Protocol in German Arrived!

11/2/2017

I was more than excited to come home today to find my German PCIT Protocol had arrived! 'German?,' you might ask? Well, I am in the beginning stages of planning the start of working toward becoming a Level II Trainer, which would allow me to train not only within my agency but also across the state. Part of the requirements is to receive mentorship from two additional Master Trainers. One who has agreed to work with me is Master Trainer Wolfgang Briegel, M.D., a child and adolescent psychiatrist in Germany. I actually speak German (quite well from feedback I've received from native speakers). However, I'm much more comfortable with the colloquial language than professional, so I have a lot of new vocabulary to learn. I am so excited to expand my PCIT training skills within another culture (training dates are being planned for December 2018). Now, please excuse me while I geek out all night!

PCIT in Germany

8/19/2012

 
I had an opportunity to visit Leopoldina Krankenhaus in Schweinfurt, Germany. I was warmly welcomed by the head psychiatrist and PCIT Master Trainer, Wolfgang Briegel, his wife Martine, and the rest of the PCIT team. It was a great experience to learn how PCIT is being implemented in another country. I was able to observe a session and code parent verbalizations (in German!), too! I was also able to practice my German--I haven't spoken the language in so long! I'm so bad at capturing stories through photographs. I realized as I was driving away that I really should have taken photos with the therapists and of the outside of the facilities. I'm sure I'll have another visit in the future--I'll be sure to do that next time! For now, check out their beautiful PCIT set-up:
