Therapeutic Workshops

Workshops & Webinars

Education, empowerment, and nervous-system informed tools for cycle breakers, parents, clinicians, and deep-feeling humans.

At Authentic Connections Counseling, we believe healing should be accessible — not confined to the therapy room. Our workshops and webinars are designed to take the heart of our practice—shame healing, nervous system regulation, ADHD support, and embodied emotional wellness—and translate it into engaging, actionable learning experiences for clients, parents, and helping professionals.

What to Expect

  • Evidence-based education explained in warm, relatable language

  • Nervous-system & somatic tools you can apply in everyday life

  • Practical takeaways and reflection prompts to keep the learning going long after the workshop

  • A space that is judgment-free, trauma-informed, and deeply human

Who Our Workshops Are For

  • Teens & young adults wanting to understand themselves better

  • Parents looking to support emotional connection & regulation at home

  • Adults navigating ADHD, anxiety, shame, or trauma

  • Clinicians and helpers wanting nervous-system-informed tools

From Reaction to Response: Calming Your Stress Response in Real Time

Hosted by Cammie Terry, LPC, NCC, ADHD-CCSP, owner of Authentic Connections Counseling LLC, this is a free, virtual event happening on September 26th at 3 PM EST via Google Meet. Please complete the form to receive your link and updates.

Do you ever wish you could stop yourself mid-snap, mid-shutdown, or mid-spiral — but it feels impossible in the moment?

Whether it’s a tense conversation, a high-pressure decision, or a situation that hits an old nerve, your brain and body can go into automatic mode before you even realize it.

In this free 90-minute live workshop, you’ll:

  • Understand your stress response – what’s actually happening in your brain, nervous system, and HPA axis when you feel triggered

  • Spot your “uh-oh” signs earlier – learn how to recognize the physical and emotional cues that mean your reaction is on its way

  • Practice 4 quick nervous system resets – calming tools you can use anywhere to stop the stress spiral in its tracks

  • Build your personal “pause plan” – so you can respond intentionally, even in moments that used to knock you off balance

You’ll leave with a step-by-step framework for noticing your stress sooner, calming it faster, and taking back control of your reactions — in conversations, relationships, and everyday life.
