Awakening Awareness: Integrating Vertical and Horizontal Processing via the Expressive Therapies Continuum
October 12, 2024 / 10:15-11:15 AM Pacific Daylight Time
Making the unknown known requires knowledge of the neural aspects of implicit and explicit memory
Vertical and horizontal information processing are involved
Learn how the Expressive Therapies Continuum serves as a model for memory integration
You’re wondering how to help clients integrate implicit and explicit memories
The clients you work with come to you with incomplete recollections and self-stories. You know your role is to support them in integrating the lost and found parts of themselves, but you’re feeling a little lost as to how to help clients find integration. How can you describe the process of integration to them when you’re a little fuzzy on that yourself?
The Expressive Therapies Continuum is a framework that can explain integration
Even though integration’s become a buzzword in recent years, you know there’s more to it than buzzing and that nervous system-informed frameworks can help. You’ve heard about the Expressive Therapies Continuum and wonder about the model’s potential for guiding your understanding of how to find lost memories and give them form so they can be examined in the light of awareness.
My name is Megan, and I’m here to share the ETC—and its relevance to memory work—with you
I help clinicians make sense of the Expressive Therapies Continuum and its role as a bridge between nonconscious and conscious material. The structure of the ETC lends itself to mapping out relationships among different kinds of nervous system information processing, and I enjoy helping therapists and clients alike grow appreciation for the nonverbal aspects of the things that get talked about—and don’t—in therapy.
Level up your understanding of memory and integration!
Are you ready to invest one hour in strengthening your understanding of integrative memory work with clients? Join me for this overview that will help you understand the horizontal and vertical information processing involved in making the nonconscious conscious and the unknown known. The Expressive Therapies Continuum can provide the structure you need to ground the way you approach awareness!
Investment: $20.00 USD (Note: this program is not available for continuing education credit.)
Learning Objectives:
Attendees will be able to
differentiate between vertical and horizontal information processing as they relate to the integration of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
identify the properties of the four (4) levels and six (6) components of the Expressive Therapies Continuum.
describe how the Expressive Therapies Continuum can be used to develop treatment that promotes vertical as well as horizontal information processing for the purpose of reconciling issues.
Do you struggle to support clients in making sense of implicit memories?
Hope to see you there!

She has developed an online private practice using the Expressive Therapies Continuum (ETC), a nervous system-informed framework, as a basis for assessment, treatment planning, intervention, progress monitoring, and case conceptualization. Megan earned her master’s degree in art therapy with a specialization in grief and medical counseling from the University of Louisville, where she studied under ETC co-creators Vija Lusebrink and Sandra (Kagin) Graves-Alcorn.
She has served on professional boards and committees at local, regional, and national levels. A scholar at heart, Megan enjoys doing research, giving presentations, and writing about the Expressive Therapies Continuum. She is hopeful that a new generation of art and expressive therapists will have the opportunity to learn the ETC via methods similar to the ones her professors used. Megan is currently developing a community of ETC enthusiasts and shares information with them through a monthly newsletter.
