  • Apply and outline one integrative expressive intervention to strengthen mind–body connection in clinical practice

Educational Goal

The educational goal of this workshop is for participants to learn how chronic mental health symptoms can reflect a mind–body disconnect and why integrative treatment is essential for lasting change. The workshop will demonstrate how Mrs. Engle’s model and expressive modalities can support affect regulation, strengthen mind–body connection, and enhance overall therapeutic outcomes.

Description

Clients who struggle with chronic mental health symptoms often experience a disconnect between mind and body. Effective treatment, therefore, must take an integrative approach that repairs this fundamental divide rather than addressing each component in isolation. This workshop will review the core tenets of Mrs. Engle’s Integrative Treatment Model and highlight client artwork alongside other expressive modalities. Participants will explore how these creative, experiential interventions support affect regulation, strengthen mind–body integration, and promote more cohesive, sustainable healing for individuals seeking deeper emotional awareness and improved overall functioning.
