    Title: Seen and Witnessed: Harnessing Attunement for Deepening Therapeutic Relationships

    Description: A therapist's emphasis on attunement sets the foundation for meaningful therapy, allowing clinicians to deeply connect with clients and foster a felt sense of safety and trust. This presentation will explore the core components of attunement, the neuroscience behind it, and practical strategies to enhance attunement in sessions. Participants will enhance their understanding and leave with actionable tools to integrate into their practice.

    BIO: Nicole Arzt is an LMFT specializing in complex trauma and substance use disorders. She has a niche for treating other therapists and running therapist-based process groups in her private practice. Nicole draws from AEDP, psychodynamic, and attachment-based frameworks to emphasize attunement as a top priority. She is dedicated to offering dynamic, relational experiences oriented to helping her clients cultivate richer introspection and reconcile their challenging inner conflicts.

    A sought-after keynote speaker, she has presented at numerous conferences nationwide and frequently speaks to new therapists on imposter syndrome, theoretical modality, career burnout, and navigating countertransference. Nicole is the bestselling author of Sometimes Therapy Is Awkward and For the Love of Therapy. A prominent mental health writer, she regularly contributes to several publications, including Psychology Today, WebMD, Forbes, Fortune 500, and The Today Show. 

    Nicole is the founder and owner of @psychotherapymemes, a global community with over 175,000 followers. Through humor and authenticity, she creates a space where therapists can find connection, validation, and a little lightness in this tender work. 

    Participants will be able to:

    1. Define 3 core components of attunement.
    2. .Explain mentalization and its importance to attunement.
    3. Identify 2 ways to work through misattunement with a client.
