• Wednesday, June 3, 2026
• 2:00 pm - 6:00 pm Pacific
  Join for all or any portion of the time!
• Zoom Meeting

RECAMFT members are invited to join a focused co-working session, designed to harness the power of group synergy and the pomodoro technique. Bring your notes, billing, website updates, assignments, or any task that could use a little structure and supportive social energy to get moving! These sessions are drop-in friendly, come when you can and stay for as long as you like.

The pomodoro technique is a time management method of breaking projects down into intervals of 25 minutes of focused work punctuated by 5 minute breaks. During our focus sessions mics will be muted but during breaks you can relax and chat with each other, ask questions, share resources, and get feedback.

This group will be hosted by Tara D'Orazio.

Restoring Reality: Therapeutic Approaches for Narcissism Recovery Presented by

Ashley Green, LMFT

Friday, June 5th, 2026

9:00 am - 10:45 am PT

1.5 CEs - On Zoom

Course Description

This training offers a comprehensive, trauma-informed framework for working with individuals recovering from narcissistic abuse, with a focus on moving clients beyond survival-based coping into sustainable healing and post-traumatic growth. Participants will explore the nuanced presentation of narcissistic abuse, including gaslighting, coercive control, trauma bonding, and identity erosion, as well as the complex clinical presentations that often accompany these experiences (e.g., anxiety, depression, complex trauma responses, and difficulties with trust, boundaries, and self-concept).

This training will also address common misdiagnoses and  differential considerations, supporting clinicians in accurately conceptualizing and treating survivors within a relational and systemic context. Clinicians will be introduced to practical, evidence-informed interventions to support clients in rebuilding reality testing, strengthening boundaries, and restoring a cohesive sense of self. The training integrates psychoeducation, cognitive restructuring, parts work, and attachment-focused approaches, along with structured tools and frameworks that can be immediately applied in clinical practice. Special attention will be given to therapeutic challenges, including resistance, shame, trauma reenactment, and the therapist’s role in maintaining a grounded, non-collusive stance when clients are still embedded in or returning to abusive dynamics.

This training is appropriate for licensed therapists and associates seeking to deepen their clinical competence in working with narcissistic abuse recovery. The content is designed at an intermediate level; participants are expected to have a foundational understanding of trauma-informed care, attachment theory, and basic clinical interventions. No prior specialization in narcissistic abuse is required, though familiarity with personality disorders and trauma frameworks will enhance integration of the material. Attendees will leave with practical tools, enhanced case conceptualization skills, and increased confidence in guiding clients from surviving toward thriving.

Educational Goals

This training is designed to equip mental health clinicians with both foundational and advanced competencies in working with individuals recovering from narcissistic abuse. This training aligns with the Board of Behavioral Sciences (BBS) priorities by addressing fundamental clinical skills, integrating significant recent developments in the field by enhancing professional understanding of client presentations of the effects of being in relationship with individuals who may have narcissistic tendencies.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this presentation, participants will be able to:

1. Identify at least three core dynamics of narcissistic abuse.
2. Differentiate narcissistic abuse presentations from specific clinical diagnoses (i.e., PTSD, BPD, depression, anxiety) to improve diagnostic accuracy and treatment planning.
3. Describe at least two trauma-informed interventions to support clients in rebuilding reality testing and self-trust.
4. Apply at least two clinical strategies to support boundary development and reduce trauma reenactment patterns in clients.

From the event organizers:

Sonoma County DYKE MARCH is an inclusive, grassroots, intergenerational movement bringing together Lesbian, Queer, Transgender, Non-Binary, Sapphic people, the full LGBTQIA2S+ spectrum, and our allies to resist attacks on our rights, bodies, and lives.​

We honor the legacy of the Lesbians and Queer women who have been the backbone of social justice movements. We uplift Elder Lesbians, reclaim the word Dyke as a symbol of pride and defiance, and bestow this legacy on the next generation.

We organize amid immense and escalating backlash against trans lives, queer rights, reproductive freedom, marriage equality, racial justice, immigrant communities, and democracy itself. Too many have sacrificed too much for us to stand by while our rights erode.

Silence is not an option.

We march for visibility, dignity, and justice.
 
We say: Not here. Not now. Not ever.

The DYKE MARCH march is a short walk to Old Courthouse Square where Lez-A-Palooza events await. All events and booths will be interactive. We are creating a place where strangers become teammates, where art is created together, where we all rediscover play, and share laughter, joy, and connection. We hope that with spontaneous encounters, we can transform the square into a living village.

RECAMFT CARE Circle: Compassion, Acknowledgement, Recharge, Empower

We can support each other!

• Monday, September 14, 2026
• 9:30 am - 11:00 am Pacific
  
• Zoom Meeting

    

The RECAMFT CARE (Compassion, Acknowledgement, Recharge and Empower) Circle was created as a safe space for us as a community of therapists who are also human.  

It is a place to come to share challenges and successes, seek support, offer compassion, share wisdom and express gratitude and be uplifted.  We hold much for our clients and in our own lives; this is a brief time to set down our load for a moment and bring in light and lightness.
    
The group is informal, small and relaxed.  We share work and/or personal struggles and triumphs, express gratitude, witness each other and give support; and advice if asked for.  We also share uplifting readings, quotes or any other medium that inspires or comforts. And we often laugh!

Pat Hromalik, 2026 RECAMFT President and CARE Circle Coordinator and Jacob Lapides, our new CARE Circle Facilitator      

Besides this one, one more CARE Circle meeting is planned for 2026:

•   Wed 11/18/26 @ 6pm

Beyond these meetings, we are hoping to be able to offer the group at different days/times to allow for more access for members. Please check back for more possible dates as they are scheduled.

RECAMFT CARE Circle: Compassion, Acknowledgement, Recharge, Empower

We can support each other!

• Wednesday, November 18, 2026
• 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm Pacific
  
• Zoom Meeting

    

The RECAMFT CARE (Compassion, Acknowledgement, Recharge and Empower) Circle was created as a safe space for us as a community of therapists who are also human.  

It is a place to come to share challenges and successes, seek support, offer compassion, share wisdom and express gratitude and be uplifted.  We hold much for our clients and in our own lives; this is a brief time to set down our load for a moment and bring in light and lightness.
    
The group is informal, small and relaxed.  We share work and/or personal struggles and triumphs, express gratitude, witness each other and give support; and advice if asked for.  We also share uplifting readings, quotes or any other medium that inspires or comforts. And we often laugh!

Pat Hromalik, 2026 RECAMFT President and CARE Circle Coordinator and Jacob Lapides, our CARE Circle Facilitator
  

This is our final CARE Circle scheduled for 2026. We will announce 2027 CARE Circle dates as soon as possible.

We are hoping to be able to offer the group at different days/times to allow for more access for members. Please check back for more possible dates as they are scheduled.

Got a case that's bothering you? Have you found yourself pondering an ethical dilemma? Join us for the Ethics Roundtable and explore solutions to sticky cases with other colleagues, which is a totally enriching and mutually supportive experience together.  

If you are a RECAMFT member, come and discuss your ethical situations with colleagues in a confidential setting, and set your mind at ease. You don't have to have a case to discuss, but can just come to gain some knowledge from seasoned colleagues. The Ethics Roundtable will help you feel better and more confident in your clinical work. No CEs, but the 90 minutes will be well spent.
