Purpose of Seminar

This seminar will explore healthier ways to conceptualize interpersonal difficulties, depression, anxiety, trauma, and/or other struggles and stress.

Who should come?

Anyone interested in considering a healthier approach to conceptualizing the idea of “mental illness,” and challenging the typical treatment approach.

What will we discuss?

This seminar will explore the evolutionary functions of language, emotions, and behaviors.  We will discuss how the brain is designed to function and explore how to better work with it, instead of against it.

We will better understand why emotions are important, but also why we shouldn’t believe most of what we feel or think or what we see and hear (except here!).

Learn how to experience emotions and words more accurately so they can better help you in achieving your goals.  

Thoughts & behaviors

Our thoughts create emotions, that effect our behaviors, and cause us to drift away from our best selves.

As we drift, we have more negative thoughts, which create stronger emotions, and other consequences—such as behaviors we’re not proud of, or ones that take us away from who we want to be. This is natural.  And so is our tendency to change towards a much healthier self and move in a more positive direction. 

Who will present?

This seminar will discuss the principles of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing (MI).   Julie Seel, Ph.D., an experienced, successful clinician educator and specialist in both modalities of treatment will present. 

She uses a strength-based approach with proven results focused on fostering emotional wellness to help people Live Life Well.  She enjoys helping people decrease dis-ease by treating the causes of emotional struggles, reconnect with purpose and meaning, improve resiliency, and reach their full potential.
