Description:

The most recent advances in neuroscience have provided us with amazing new understandings of how the brain functions and how it relates to our psychological and physical health. However, detailed research on the brain can be challenging for mental health practitioners to understand because most of us have little to no understanding of terms like “Subgenual anterior cingulate cortex.”

And there’s a problem that’s greater than words. How do you deal with the difficulty of incorporating complex scientific and biological knowledge into your therapeutic practice? How does neuroscience assist you when you are working directly with clients who are dealing with stress, depression, addiction, and other issues on a daily basis?

With regard to your professional treatment with anxiety, depression, chronic pain, substance misuse, and trauma, this tape will make important connections between concepts from science and biology.

Even better, you’ll receive thorough guidance on practical therapy approaches you can apply with your clients, going beyond the basic reasons behind the various diseases. You will learn to customize interventions based on Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy, Attachment, and Somatic Psychologies and apply them to the treatment of mood disorders, trauma, addictions, and more through case studies, experiential exercises, and brief lectures.

Even better, you’ll get the chance to put what you’ve learned into practice while being carefully supervised by our teacher, and you’ll be given thorough handouts to take home that will enable you to use what you learn right away in your clinical work.

Discover how knowing neuroscience may alter the way you perceive and interact with your clients by cutting through the confusing research and opaque language!
