Why are you so defensive? It’s a shame.
Presenters: Carol Miller Ph. D., Rebecca Landau-Millin Ph.D. and Barbara Burr, JD
Drawing from the work of Brene Brown and psychological theory, our presenters will discuss the nature of shame, and how it shows up in our clients and our selves. We will also examine the most common defense mechanisms people employ to cope with these deep feelings of shame. Finally, we will explore ways to help clients manage shame and the ways they defend against it.
5:45 – 6:30 — networking
6:30 – 7:45 — program and dinner*
*The program/dinner fee is $40. There will be a bar open where members can purchase drinks for an additional cost.

Grief: The Hidden (and Obvious) Driver of So Much That Happens During Our Cases
Presenters: Adele D’Ari Ed. D., Erin Golding, JD and Lisa Herrick Ph.D.
Divorce means loss. Loss triggers grief. The unresolved grief of our clients can work its way into positional stances, seemingly irrational reactions, inability to remember information and just plain old sorrow. Our presenters will examine the many faces of grief in our work with clients, and provide guidance on how we can help our clients identify, acknowledge and work through their grief while they are moving through the Collaborative process.

What We Don’t Talk About …..Enough
Presenters: Sue Soler LCSW and Sarah Zimmerman, JD
Though the stats tell us that only 10 – 20% of all Collaborative cases “fall out”, they take up 80% of our emotional energy and time. Sometimes, we don’t anticipate or discuss problems that surface early on, and then bad things can happen for both the clients and the team. We need to refresh our thinking on ways to look ahead when trouble arises, and consider the risks of going forward vs. advising our client(s) to consider terminating the case before they complete it. This program will explore various risks and trouble spots – in relationships, in the paperwork, in the protocols, and with the fees –so that our community can be more mindful and effective when cases get really tough.
