Traditionally daunting clinical tasks such as creating hope in the hopeless, gracefully exploring our client's spirituality, exploring incest and domestic violence, unstalling stalled treatment planning, eliciting hidden suicidal ideation, uncovering dangerous psychotic process, and avoiding our own burn-out will be approached through the revitalizing lens of spirituality and philosophy as delineated in Dr. Shea’s conception of the human matrix, a philosophical concept used to add consistency, integration and a sense of meaningful direction to transforming clinical conundrums. Discussion will include: • Creating hope when clients see none/Matrix Treatment Planning:the biopsychosocial model re-imagined as a tool for creating resiliency/A new definition of “happiness”/Collaborative spiritual exploration. • Finding the person beneath the diagnosis/ Helping clients to avoid shame and embarrassment when sharing severe anxiety states as seen in OCD, Panic Disorder, and PTSD/Exploring physical and sexual trauma with sensitivity and compassion/Effectively spotting psychotic process from command hallucinations to paranoid delusions and thoughts of self-mutilation/Video Demonstrations. • Seeing the person beneath the borderline and narcissistic personality disorders/Using interviewing techniques from cognitive therapy, object relations, and self­ psychology to sensitively engage clients who are hard to engage /Performing a DSM-5 differential diagnosis in a fifty-minute initial interview/”Facilics”: the art of transforming interviews into flowing conversations. • Validity techniques for uncovering taboo topics/Effectively uncovering suicidal ideation, planning, behavior, and intent using the Chronological Assessment of Suicide Events (the CASE Approach)/Video demonstrations. • Recognizing and transforming wandering, shut-down and rehearsed interviews/Practical techniques for turning moments of angry disengagement and potentially disengaging questions into moments of therapeutic magic. Objectives: At the end of this course, participants will be able to: • Apply the principles of “Matrix Treatment Planning” (including healing matrix effects and damaging matrix effects) to transform stalled treatment interventions, to instill resiliency, and to prevent suicide. • Use seven validity techniques (such as Shame Attenuation, Gentle Assumption and Symptom Amplification) to uncover hidden and dangerous suicidal ideation using the Chronological Assessment of Suicide Events (CASE Approach). • Use interviewing techniques for spotting delusional mood, delusional perception, command hallucinations, alien control, paranoid process and other dangerous psychotic processes. • Use the theories of object relations (Kernberg) and the psychology of the self (Kohut) to apply specific interviewing techniques - such as the complementary shift - to engage difficult to engage clients presenting with borderline, narcissistic, and/or antisocial process. • Apply specific interviewing techniques to transform moments of abrupt disengagement, unexpected anger and/or invasive personal questions.

With the average treatment cost of $600 - $1,800 per patient depending upon indications aesthetically or medically, it allows for the physician to realize additional cash revenues within their practice with little or no capital expenditure. Empire Medical's Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Training is the perfect complement to other aesthetic injectible procedures (i.e. Botox/Dermal Fillers) and can be easily incorporated into any type of medical or aesthetic practice. PRP therapies allow for the separation of a patient’s blood through a variety of harvesting techniques to extract a concentration of autologous platelets (2.5x – 9.0x). These platelets when activated release adhesive glycoproteins (fibrin, fibronectin, and vitronectin) and various growth factors forming a fibrin mesh under the tissue. Program Overview: The Platelet Rich Plasma course will review all of the indications for the use of PRP for all aesthetic, medical, pain management, and alopecia indications. This evidence based course allows for you to understand and fully integrate this popular procedure within your practice. Learning Objectives: Upon completion of the educational activity, participants should be able to: • Identify appropriate candidates for Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) injections based on medical and/or aesthetic need determined by evidence-based protocols to optimize outcomes. • Describe the various standards of care to safely administer secondary uses of Autologous PRP injections for medical pain management. • Apply proper injection technique of PRP to safely administer the product, minimize complications and provide optimal patient outcomes.
