Many therapists notice that meaningful shifts in therapy often begin with something simple. Observation.

A thought. A sensation. Something unfolding in the room.

As experience is seen more clearly, patterns that once felt automatic can begin to shift.

Constructed Awareness® explores this process.

Tomorrow, we’re gathering for our first CA Lunch & Learn. A space to explore how awareness shapes the therapeutic process through reflection, conversation, and shared clinical perspective.

Understanding the Three Principles of Constructed Awareness®

This event is free to attend and includes 1 CE credit (NBCC & ASWB).

Take a moment to notice what signals your presence in this moment.

Is it something you are thinking, something you are feeling in your body, or something you perceive around you?

In Constructed Awareness®, this kind of simple observation is where awareness begins.

Within Constructed Awareness®, much of the learning continues beyond training through conversation, reflection, and connection with other clinicians.

We’ve created a space for that to happen.

The Constructed Awareness® Community Forum is now available on our website under the “Community” tab.

This is a private space for clinicians who have completed Level 1 training and beyond, offering a place to stay connected, share experiences, ask questions, and continue learning together.

It can also serve as a way to stay connected between training weekends, offering a place for ongoing reflection as insights continue to develop.

As the community grows, we hope this becomes a place where ideas can be explored and supported in an ongoing way.

You’re welcome to join us there.

Many aspects of human experience can feel automatic. Thoughts, emotions, and reactions that seem to arise on their own.

Constructed Awareness® offers a different way of understanding this process.

According to the model, all experience is constructed through three building blocks: thoughts, bodily sensations, and external perception.

Emotional experience, interpretations of self and others, and patterns of regulation all emerge through the interaction of these elements.

As awareness of these building blocks develops, patterns that once felt automatic can begin to come into view. From this place, new possibilities for responding and relating can begin to emerge.

If you’ve been considering Constructed Awareness® Level 3, there is still time to join.

Many therapists sense when they are ready to go deeper in their work. Not because something is missing, but because something is beginning to come into focus.

Level 3 begins this week and offers a space to deepen how trauma processing unfolds in real time through observation, responsiveness, and the natural emergence of experience within the therapy process.

If this training has been on your mind, the early bird rate remains available through the start of training.

Session 1
March 27–28
Session 2
April 17–18
9:00 AM – 6:00 PM EST

Observation alone can begin to change experience. Many people approach emotional difficulty with the belief that something must be fixed, controlled, or overcome before relief is possible. When experience feels difficult, this often leads to more effort, pressure, and self-criticism.

Constructed Awareness® begins somewhere different.

Rather than asking a person to immediately change what they think or feel, the process begins by helping them observe their experience with clarity. When thoughts, bodily sensations, and external perception are noticed without trying to force them into something different, patterns that once felt automatic often begin to reveal themselves. As awareness develops, a person’s relationship to their experience can begin to shift.

In many cases, the simple act of observation introduces space where there once felt like there was only reaction. Within Constructed Awareness, this space is where flexibility, regulation, and new possibilities can begin to emerge.

Trauma processing does not always begin with technique. Sometimes it begins with awareness.

When therapists can observe how experience unfolds in the moment—thoughts, bodily sensations, and what is happening in the room—new possibilities for working with trauma often begin to emerge naturally.

Constructed Awareness® Level 3 begins in one week.

This advanced training invites therapists who have completed Levels 1 and 2 to deepen their understanding of trauma processing through the Constructed Awareness® model.

Level 3 focuses on the practical integration of CA theory and intervention into what we call Responsive Processing. Rather than applying trauma techniques in a rigid sequence, therapists learn how trauma responses can emerge within the flow of therapy and how to work with those moments in a grounded and relational way.

Throughout the training, participants explore how orientation styles influence trauma processing, how single-event and complex trauma present in clinical work, and how responses such as fight, flight, freeze, and dissociation can be understood through the lens of Constructed Awareness.

This four-day live virtual workshop includes teaching, demonstrations, practicums, and collaborative discussion designed to help therapists translate these ideas directly into clinical practice.

Participants receive:
• a 55-page handbook
• demonstration videos
• 30 continuing education hours

If you have completed Constructed Awareness® Levels 1 and 2, there is still time to register before the training begins.

Many therapists discover that learning a therapeutic model is only the beginning. The deeper work often happens when real clinical questions, challenging cases, and lived therapeutic experience are brought into conversation with other clinicians.

Beginning in April, Tyler Orr, LPC, NCC, creator of Constructed Awareness®, will be facilitating a monthly consultation group for therapists interested in deepening their understanding of the model in clinical practice.

This group offers a collaborative space for experiential learning, case consultation, and peer reflection. Together we explore how Constructed Awareness principles unfold in real therapy sessions and how awareness-based observation can support meaningful therapeutic shifts.

Whether you are already trained in Constructed Awareness or simply curious about how awareness-based approaches can inform your clinical work, this consultation group provides a practical and supportive environment to explore the model alongside other clinicians.

Participants will have the opportunity to:
• discuss challenging clinical cases
• practice CA techniques in a focused setting
• engage in collaborative reflection and peer feedback
• deepen confidence applying awareness-based approaches in therapy

Group Details
Second Wednesday of each month
12:00–1:30 PM EST
Online (Zoom)
Duration: 90 minutes
Fee: $40 per session
The first session begins April 8, 2026.

Many therapists notice that meaningful shifts in therapy often begin with something simple: observation. When experience can be seen clearly within thoughts, bodily sensations, and what is happening in the external environment, new possibilities often begin to emerge naturally.

Constructed Awareness® explores this process by helping therapists and clients notice how experience is unfolding in the present moment. To explore these ideas together, we’re introducing a new community conversation for therapists.

Beginning in April, we will be hosting a Constructed Awareness® Lunch & Learn every other month on the first Friday at 12:00 PM EST. These virtual gatherings are designed as a relaxed space for therapists to explore awareness-based approaches to therapy through conversation, reflection, and shared curiosity.

Each Lunch & Learn focuses on a different topic related to Constructed Awareness and offers clinicians an opportunity to learn more about the model, ask questions, and hear how other therapists are applying these ideas in practice.

These gatherings are open to any therapist who is curious about Constructed Awareness. Whether you are already using the model, currently learning it, or simply interested in how awareness-based principles can inform clinical work, Lunch & Learn offers a welcoming space to explore these ideas with other clinicians.

Our first session will explore: Understanding the Three Principles of Constructed Awareness®
The discussion will be led by Tyler Orr, LPC, NCC, creator of Constructed Awareness®, joined by CA-certified clinicians Gloria Cave, LCSW and Dayhana Ray, LCMHC.

Participants will receive 1 continuing education hour approved by NBCC and ASWB.
When: April 3, 2026

Many therapists notice that meaningful shifts in therapy often begin with something simple: observation.

Constructed Awareness® is a therapeutic model that helps clients observe how their experience is being constructed in the present moment.

Rather than focusing on controlling thoughts or emotions, the process begins by helping clients notice the building blocks of experience — thoughts, bodily sensations, and external perception.

As these elements are observed with greater clarity, patterns that once felt automatic often begin to reveal themselves. From this place of awareness, emotional regulation, relational flexibility, and new possibilities for response can begin to emerge naturally.

Constructed Awareness offers therapists a model for guiding this process in a structured and relational way, particularly when working with trauma, attachment patterns, and complex emotional experiences.
