Questions & Answers About the Course
Q: “Are you saying I can take this course and get 8 units of continuing education toward my license renewal without paying? What’s the catch?”
A: There is no catch. Like any other continuing education course, you must participate in and complete a clearly defined course of study.
Q: “What is the course of study? What exactly does the course include?”
A: There are four modules to the course. The first module is the Introduction, which explains the organization of the course, defines terms, introduces two journaling building blocks, and biographical statements.
The second module is Inauguration, which introduces eight additional journaling methods such as Dialogues, List-making, and PenVisoning.
The third module is Implementation, which pairs journaling methods with particular diagnoses.
The fourth module is Integration, which covers journaling best practices in a clinical setting, treatment planning, and ongoing use.
Q: “Is this course in-person or on-line?”
A: The course is entirely on-line, which means you don’t have to leave the comfort of your home or office to participate.
Q: “I’m not exactly tech-savvy. I’m a little nervous about taking an on-line course. Can you explain how that works?”
A: Yes. Basically, you go to a designated website, follow the prompts and click on a link. It’s pretty straightforward. If you have any trouble at all, we have excellent tech support.
