- Jul 189:00 AMBuddhist Monk Thich Nhat Hanh Meets Francine Shapiro: How Do I Integrate One Stone Meditation with EMDR?Prior EMDR training is not required to attend this training. EMDRIA Approval is pending for this training. EMDRIA credits will be available but only to individuals who have fully completed Part I and Part II EMDR Basic Training. This three-hour in person training will explore the teachings of Buddhist Monk Thich Nhat Hanh. Participants will learn about his history with mindfulness, his advocacy for peace and social justice, and his connection to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Trainer Donald deGraffenried, LCSW will explain the origin of the "One Stone Meditation" and demonstrate how to use this powerful, yet simple experience of mindfulness with clients or for yourself. This is a gentle introduction to the process of mindfulness and enhancing the greater ability to be fully in the moment. It has wide application for use with clients, especially in the management of stress and anxiety. Participants will also have the option via a practicum to enhance/strengthen their experience by using bilateral tapping which comes out of the work of Francine Shapiro, Ph.D. and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Please bring a small stone with you to the training. The stone should fit comfortably in the palm of your hand. In this interactive and experiential seminar, participants will: • practice the "One Stone Meditation" • develop the meditative experience • have the opportunity to practice and strengthen their experience by using bi lateral taping

- Jul 1810:00 AMDoctoral Dissertation Oral Defense of Rachel V. TuckerRachel V. Tucker (Ph.D. Candidate, Department of Communication, University of Connecticut) will defend her doctoral dissertation titled, "Communicative Disenfranchisement During Childbirth: Examining the Outcomes Associated with and Role of Race/Ethnicity and Health Insurance Status in Shaping Black or African American, Hispanic or Latina, and White Women's Interactions with Providers During Childbirth" on Friday, July 18, 2025 at 10:00 a.m. EDT on WebEx. This study used the post-positivist articulation of the theory of communicative disenfranchisement to examine the outcomes associated with adverse interactions between healthcare providers and Black or African American, Hispanic or Latina, and White cisgender women (N = 230) receiving care for childbirth in the U.S., and the intersecting role of race/ethnicity and health insurance status in shaping such interactions. The findings from this study offer theoretical insights that extend our understanding of communicative disenfranchisement as a contextually dependent process, as well as practical insights regarding how to improve maternal healthcare interactions. A copy of the dissertation is available by emailing Michael J, Melnik at michael.melnik@uconn.edu.
