Conference Theme:
"Connection Within, Between and Beyond"

This year, our annual conference will be held on the lovely campus of Pepperdine University, in the George Elkins Auditorium. (This program, while located at Pepperdine University, is not affiliated, sponsored, or endorsed by Pepperdine University). We are excited that Pepperdine has also made available accommodations on campus for those who choose to stay there.

The theme for the SEPI 2026 conference, Connection Within, Between and Beyond recognizes the significant role that connection plays in the process of psychotherapy and other therapeutic modalities. Jeffrey Kottler and Jon Carlson’s book, The Client Who Changed Me (2005) illustrates the significant and often life changing ways in which therapists have been changed by their clients. This conference expands on their work and others by exploring the necessity of connection beyond the therapeutic relationship too.
