Description

Early in my professional life, I became aware of a gap between current therapy paradigms and neuroscience research. The majority of physicians were not trained about the precise neuronal circuits and neurotransmitters that contribute to depression and anxiety, despite the fact that these diseases are undoubtedly caused by altered brain function. As a result, treating mood and anxiety problems was frequently insufficient; many research-discovered remedies were disregarded, and methods mainly depended on medicine without modifying a client’s behavior, surroundings, or activities. There has to be a more effective method to handle these consumers and enhance results!

Today, I am aware of the potent therapeutic effects of combining cognitive-behavioral therapies with exercise, social support, and healthy habits, such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), and Behavioral Activation Therapy (BAT). By enhancing your arsenal of brain-based therapies, you may better serve the diverse needs of your customers. Additionally, therapy buy-in and compliance are improved when your clients realize that what seems “wrong” is actually the activity and chemistry of certain brain circuits.

Join me for this must-see conference, where I’ll demonstrate how to use neuroscience to your advantage and that of your clients:

Use brain-based cognitive treatments for mood and anxiety disorders, such as ACT, MBCT, and BAT.
Improve treatment outcomes by utilizing novel strategies guided by the most recent brain research.
Learn how straightforward actions may change the chemistry and activity of important brain areas.
Develop your ability to educate clients about their brains

Are you prepared to add the newest neuroscience approaches to your therapeutic toolkit?

Please allow me to assist you in improving your technique. Your pleasure is guaranteed.

More information about Medical:

Medicine is the science and practice of establishing the diagnosis, prognosis, treatment, and prevention of disease.
Medicine encompasses a variety of health care practices evolved to maintain and restore health by the prevention and treatment of illness.
Contemporary medicine applies biomedical sciences, biomedical research, genetics, and medical technology to diagnose, treat, and prevent injury and disease,
typically through pharmaceuticals or surgery, but also through therapies as diverse as psychotherapy, external splints and traction, medical devices, biologics, and ionizing radiation, amongst others.

Medicine has been around for thousands of years, during most of which it was an art (an area of skill and knowledge) frequently having connections to the religious and
philosophical beliefs of local culture. For example, a medicine man would apply herbs and say prayers for healing, or an ancient philosopher and physician would apply bloodletting according to the theories of humorism.
In recent centuries, since the advent of modern science, most medicine has become a combination of art and science (both basic and applied, under the umbrella of medical science).
While stitching technique for sutures is an art learned through practice, the knowledge of what happens at the cellular and molecular level in the tissues being stitched arises through science.
