Trinity’s Counseling and Psychology and Social Work Departments are pleased to present the Ninth Annual Psychology Renewed Conference on Saturday, April 30 from 9:30 am to 12:30 pm.
Attendees to the conference will explore Conceptual Dialectical Behavior Therapy and how it can be used to treat emotional dysregulation.
Dr. Paul Holmes, a Senior Lecturer at Crown Family School of Social Work, Policy and Practice at the University of Chicago, will introduce the “Chronic Distress Model” as an explanation of emotional escalation. He will give an overview of the structure and processes that comprise C-DBT, an approach that emphasizes experiential encounters where participants decouple behaviors from emotions, thoughts, and memories and select responses based on context and valued ends. Participants can experience freedom from their past and create opportunities to organize their behavior in relation to a future they desire.

Cost:
CEUs – $30 | Trinity Alums – $10 (CEUs are included in the alumni cost) | Current Students – Free with Registration
Join us for the tenure lecture of Dr. Jessica Clevering, Professor of Psychology and Director of the Adult Program in Psychology, on Tuesday, March 29 at 3:55 pm in the Grand Lobby of Ozinga Chapel.

When we celebrate these moments, we mark and extend our commitment to our core identity and mission as a College – and we rejoice at the gifted teacher-scholars in our midst!
Clevering’s lecture, “Three Heads in the Well: A Pedagogical Fairy Tale, ” will explore how should professors approach the self, specifically their own selves, while teaching? Four approaches will be proposed, and the preferred approach will be illustrated by means of a fairy tale. That’s right: story time! Christian themes will be highlighted throughout. Teddy bears are welcome.

Join us for the tenure lecture of Professor of Art & Design Ryan Thompson on March 22 at 3:55 pm in the Grand Lobby of Ozinga Chapel. Tenure lectures are a celebration of the mature Christian scholarship of our faculty colleagues. When we celebrate these moments, we mark and extend our commitment to our core identity and mission as a College – and we rejoice at the gifted teacher-scholars in our midst!
Thompson’s lecture, “Look this Way,” engages the role of conceptual art in an attention economy, with a specific focus on how it might help stretch our attention and expand our understanding of time. The lecture will also speculate on connections between conceptual art, prayer, and the discomfort of embracing the unknown.
