SUMMARY:In Dialogues Featuring Liz Lacy with Wendy Behary
DESCRIPTION:In Dialogue\nFeaturing Liz Lacy with Wendy Behary\nAddicted to Love\, Starved for Connection: Using Schema Therapy to Heal Hypersexuality\nThis event has now taken place. It was held live on Friday\, June 19\, 2026. The full recording is available to JYSTA members inside the community on the Mighty platform. \nFriday\, June 19\, 2026 · 12:00–1:00 PM ET · Held live inside the JYSTA community on Mighty · Recording now available to JYSTA members on Mighty\nHosted by Travis Atkinson\, VP of Media & Communications\, JYSTA\nOrganized by Rita Younan\, VP of Events\, JYSTA\nProduced by Brendan Keegans\, Production Director\, BK Event Productions \nSome conversations change the way you work forever. This is one of them. \nIt affects an estimated three to six percent of adults. It appears in no DSM. Most clients carry it in silence for the better part of two decades before they ever name it aloud\, and the treatment models therapists reach for first were never built to reach it. On Friday\, June 19\, Liz Lacy stepped into the In Dialogue chair to take on the topic many therapists quietly dread and few feel ready to treat: healing hypersexuality through schema therapy. \nIn Dialogue is where the polished presentation ends and the real conversation begins. Two clinicians\, no script\, pulling back the curtain on how this work actually unfolds in the room. It is the rare chance to watch master clinicians think out loud\, weigh the hard calls\, and trade the kind of practical wisdom that almost never makes it into a formal lecture. \nLiz moved past the worn-out addiction model and asked a braver question. What if the behavior is not the problem\, but a desperate solution to an unmet core need? Through a developmental lens\, she showed how to reach the wound underneath. The emotional deprivation\, the shame\, the longing for connection that no amount of behavioral management ever touches. Then she showed how to strengthen the Healthy Adult who can finally meet it. \nAnd she is not doing it alone. Joining Liz is Wendy Behary\, President of JYSTA and a clinician who knows this terrain from the inside. Liz leads the conversation on her topic. Wendy brings the depth of an expert who has worked alongside her on this very material before. In true In Dialogue fashion\, the two move beyond the polished talk into the questions only colleagues who trust each other can ask: the clinical instincts that rarely get taught\, and the moments that happen only when two clinicians with shared history sit down to talk. \nAbout Liz’s Symposium Presentation\nLiz’s session\, Addicted to Love\, Starved for Connection: Using Schema Therapy to Heal Hypersexuality\, reframes hypersexual behavior as an attempt to meet unmet core emotional needs rather than a compulsion to be managed. Drawing on schema therapy and a developmental lens\, she maps the path from the behavior to the schemas and modes that drive it: Emotional Deprivation\, Abandonment\, Defectiveness\, Social Isolation\, and Insufficient Self-Control. From there she builds toward the Healthy Adult that lasting change depends on. \nThrough the case of Jon\, she walks through a comprehensive conceptualization that typifies how the hypersexual mode cycle develops and repeats. The Vulnerable Child’s pain. The Punitive Critic’s attack. The Detached Self-Soother that promises relief and delivers only deeper shame. You will leave able to: \n\nConceptualize hypersexuality through a schema therapy lens\nRecognize the underlying core needs revealed through a careful sexual history\nApply schema therapy interventions specific to this population\nIdentify and work through the predictable blocks to recovery\n\nAbout the In Dialogue Series\nIn Dialogue brings a senior schema therapy presenter into extended conversation with a colleague who knows their work intimately. Where a recorded session establishes the framework\, the live exchange goes deeper: into the questions a trusted colleague can ask\, the clinical instincts that rarely get taught\, and the moments that only happen when two clinicians with shared history sit down to talk. \nHow to Take Part\nIn Dialogue is a JYSTA member experience. This conversation took place live on Friday\, June 19\, and the full recording is now available to JYSTA members inside the community on Mighty. Here is how to take it in: \n\nWatch the symposium session. Liz’s full symposium presentation remains available inside the JYSTA community on Mighty\, exclusively for members.\nWatch the In Dialogue recording. The live conversation between Liz and Wendy is now recorded and shared with members on Mighty\, where they take up the strongest questions the community sent in.\nRevisit the conversation. Members who joined live were in the room on June 19 as two master clinicians thought it through together. Missed it? The full session recording is available to JYSTA members inside the community on Mighty\, so no one misses out.\n\nA Note on the Production\nOur members deserve the best\, and we don’t pinch pennies on it. This event was produced by Brendan Keegans\, Production Director at BK Event Productions\, who has been behind schema therapy events since 2019. After that many years in this world\, he knows a thing or two about schemas and modes himself. Rumor has it he can spot a Detached Protector in a green room from twenty feet\, and he has never once let a Demanding Critic run a run-of-show. Your experience is in expert hands\, on every side of the camera. \nNot a member yet?\nThis is exactly the kind of experience JYSTA membership is built for. The behaviors clients hide longest are often the ones our training prepared us for least\, and this is where schema therapy reaches deepest. Join the community to unlock In Dialogue\, the full symposium library\, member-only gatherings\, and the conversations that move schema therapy forward. \nBecome a member to watch the recording →

SUMMARY:Estrangement Supervision Group with John Gasiewski and Paul DelGrosso
DESCRIPTION:Members Only — Professional\, Student\, or Sustaining\nThis supervision group is a clinical training benefit included with eligible JYSTA membership. Attendance is capped\, first-come\, first-served.\n\nBecome a MemberRSVP via Member Portal →\n\nSupervision Group: The Challenges and Opportunities of Estrangement \nThis supervision group is a clinical training benefit available exclusively to JYSTA Professional\, Student\, and Sustaining members. \nIn this supervision group\, we examine conditions in which estrangement can lead to challenging schema activation on the one hand and\, on the other\, can act as a protective factor. In the first case\, we look at possible schema and mode combinations that result in the need to attempt to bridge estrangement to allow for schema healing and explain treatment pathways to heal estrangement within the client (using schema therapy) and with clients and estranged family members (using schema therapy and attachment-based family therapy). In the second instance\, we examine how estrangement can be approached adaptively\, with reconciliation carefully examined as to when — and if — it can take place. \nThis is the final session in a four-part series. Previous dates: March 25\, April 15\, April 29\, 2026. \nFree for members of JYSTA (The Jeffrey Young Schema Therapy Association) \nFacilitated by: \n\nPaul DelGrosso\nJohn Gasiewski\n\nAdvanced Trainers / Supervisors\, NJ/NYC/DC Institute for Schema Therapy \nAttendance is capped\, and based on a first-come\, first-served basis.

SUMMARY:In Dialogue: Ida Shaw with Joan Farrell. Where the Real Conversation Begins.
DESCRIPTION:Members Only\nThis event is included with JYSTA membership. The recording is available to active JYSTA members on the Mighty platform.\n\nBecome a MemberAccess Recording on Mighty →\n\nFor forty years\, Ida Shaw has been one of the field’s most trusted clinicians for the cases other therapists refer out. \nDissociative Identity Disorder. Severe trauma. Borderline personality disorder. Ida stayed when others didn’t. She co-authored three books with Joan Farrell that have shaped how clinicians approach these presentations. She trained therapists across more than twenty countries. She helped build the schema therapy treatment models that finally gave the field something to work with. \nOn May 13\, Joan joined her for a live conversation about the DID work Ida presented at the December symposium. \nThe recording is available to active JYSTA members on the Mighty platform in the coming days. \nAbout the In Dialogue Series\nIn Dialogue brings a senior schema therapy presenter into extended conversation with a colleague who knows their work intimately. Where the recorded symposium session establishes the framework\, the live exchange goes deeper. The questions a trusted colleague can ask. The clinical instincts that don’t make it into formal teaching. The kind of exchange that only happens when two clinicians with shared history sit down to talk. \nFor this launch event\, Joan Farrell\, JYSTA President-Elect and Ida’s longtime collaborator\, facilitates the conversation. \nAbout Ida’s Symposium Presentation\nThis presentation outlines a treatment model for dissociative identity disorder (DID) developed by Ida Shaw and Joan Farrell. The approach utilizes schema therapy (ST) to consolidate multiple dissociative parts into a smaller number of modes\, aiming to make treatment more manageable for both clients and therapists and potentially shorten its duration. \nDID can involve a complex array of twenty to one hundred dissociative parts or personalities\, each with unique memories\, emotions\, and coping mechanisms. Schema therapy provides a framework for conceptualizing these parts as schema modes. Using the therapeutic alliance\, experiential techniques\, and skills development\, clients are guided to identify\, validate\, and integrate their various internal voices into a limited number of schema modes. \nST for DID seeks to organize these parts into the three types of schema modes: child (strong emotion)\, coping (the survival strategies of fight\, flight\, or freeze)\, critic (cognition)\, and to develop the Healthy modes. This structure is intended to reduce internal confusion and promote continuity. When arranged into these categories\, transdiagnostic schema therapy treatment proceeds similarly to approaches for other trauma survivors. As modes heal\, they are less frequently triggered\, contributing to greater stability. Enhanced access to the Healthy Adult mode is expected to help clients address needs in balanced ways\, facilitating further improvement. \nThis ST model for DID was initially developed and pilot tested in an inpatient program and was subsequently evaluated in a two-year case series involving weekly sessions\, with positive clinical results. This is a significant decrease in treatment compared to the typical ten-plus years of psychodynamic psychotherapy. \nThis presentation will give you a more effective way to conceptualize and treat your clients with DID. Ida Shaw is an experienced ST trainer and supervisor whose training\, supervision\, and three innovative books have assisted thousands of therapists in treating their most challenging clients more successfully. \nHow This Live Conversation Works\nYou have already watched Ida present the model. You have seen how the framework gets built on a slide deck and walked through with case examples. \nWhat you have not seen is what happens when Joan sits down with her to draw out what didn’t make it into the formal presentation. The clinical instincts behind the slides. The questions only a longtime collaborator can ask. What gets revealed when two clinicians who have worked together for four decades move from teaching mode into open conversation. \nThat is what In Dialogue is for. \nHow to Access the Recording\nThe recording of this session is available to active JYSTA members on the Mighty platform in the coming days.
