Presenter Bio: Diane Hovey, PhD, a licensed marriage and family therapist, is the CEO and owner of Alliance for Healing and Photo-Insights. Prior to Alliance for Healing, she was the founder and director of the Family Institute for Creative Well-Being. Dr. Hovey is a translator of experience and a creative guide who assists her clients in finding emotional healing, understanding, and clarity of vision. She works with clients to address life-altering challenges such as loss, betrayal, and traumas that impede the ability to navigate life’s uncertainties. Dr. Hovey has been exploring the potential of PhotoTherapy for nearly three decades. Based on her research and clinical applications, phototherapy card sets were developed to be used in various therapeutic settings to address experiences outside common understanding. The images have the potential to convey multiple layers of meanings and aid in reflecting on difficult-to-express thoughts and feelings from the client’s point of view.
Description: The purpose of this workshop is to learn self-care tools that aid in integration and maintaining our congruency that is too often threatened in our emotionally, trauma laden practices. Conventional approaches to self-care often lack the integration of our lived (including work) experiences into new ways of knowing and understanding. When this happens, we need the tools to weave experience with expectation and new ways to fill our empty vessels of self. This is an experiential workshop in which we will practice self-care through the use of poetry, photos & perspective. Participation is required. Come prepared to dive into an experiential process of exploring creative healing tools.

5. Incorporate insights gained into the work with clients to promote their own becoming.
6. Engage in self-care that promotes ethical practice.
7. Practice the art of becoming congruent.
8. Explore personal blocks/barriers to engaging in self-care.
