8 CEU’s.

Cyndi Doyle is our key note speaker. These are the topics she will be covering:
From Rescue to Resentment: A Clinical Look at Unhealthy Cycles in First Responder Couples
First responder couples often struggle with chronic disconnection, emotional shutdown, codependency, or conflict. These relationships are not immune to developing unhealthy and toxic patterns. Why do first responders stay in toxic relationship cycles, even when they know it’s not working? This workshop helps clinicians identify the true roots of relationship dysfunction by exploring how trauma history, attachment dynamics, job-based emotional conditioning, and neurobiological patterns converge in responder partnerships. Through interactive discussion and structured mapping activities, participants will gain a culturally informed framework for working with LEO and responder couples who appear stuck, chaotic, or emotionally unavailable.
Rewiring the Cycle: From Relational Dysfunction to Alignment in First Responder Relationships
When relationships feel chaotic, unclear, or unsustainable, first responder couples often override their needs in order to keep the peace or fulfill a sense of duty. This workshop helps clinicians support responder couples in recognizing relational patterns, clarifying personal boundaries, and reconnecting with their core values. Through a structured framework, clinicians will learn how to guide clients in discerning what they need, what’s no longer tolerable, and what direction aligns with their well-being, whether that leads to repair or stepping away.
