  • How Worth-Conscious Therapy Transforms Healing and Self Worth with Dawna Daigneault EdS LPC, CCPT
    Feb 17 2026

    We explore worth-conscious therapy with Dawna Daigneault and map how clinicians can replace conditional approval with a stable foundation of inherent self-worth. Practical tools, visuals, and safety steps help clients move from perfectionism and anxiety to grounded, congruent living.

    • defining worth consciousness and why awareness alone is not enough
    • pillars of self-worth versus imitation pillars built on conditions
    • counterfeits such as achievement and image that fail to increase worth
    • applying worth-based building blocks to real-life goals and identity choices
    • shifting perfectionism toward worth-centered action and mindfulness
    • assessing disruption and sequencing trauma safety before worth work
    • guiding the lost worth story with attunement, dignity and pacing
    • clinician self-worth, language choices and boundary-sensitive planning
    • resources for deeper learning, articles, diagrams and community

    For clients to be sure to buy the book
    We also started a Facebook group for mental health professionals called Understanding Self-Worth
    If a clinician would like to be able to read that, it’s available there: https://understandingself-worth.com/

    Feb 10 2026

    We share a clinician’s roadmap for supporting infertility and reproductive loss with skill and care, from first-line treatments to third‑party reproduction. We name the grief that often goes unseen, the ethics of referral, and the tools that help clients hold hope without false promises.

    • defining infertility timelines and early workups
    • medicated cycles, IUI and IVF basics
    • embryo testing, transfer choices and success rates
    • financial strain, insurance gaps and access
    • disenfranchised and secondary grief
    • cultural, legal and religious pressures
    • crisis support after failed cycles
    • couples dynamics and communication
    • ACT for identity, values and cognitive defusion
    • rebuilding intimacy beyond procreation
    • consultation, CEUs and when to refer out

    “PSI does them, ASRM has like a segment with them… You gotta start somewhere.”
