Description:

Neuroscience has given us incredible insights into the workings of the brain and its connection to our mental health. And recent research reveals that neuroplasticity takes place all through life, so you can offer hope for real change no matter how long your client has suffered.
This recording will connect complicated science with your clinical practice, and transform how you view and work with traumatized, stressed, addicted, anxious, and depressed clients!
Discover how and where neuroplasticity occurs, and ways to use it therapeutically. Participate in enjoyable learning experiences that provide you with the clear principles and background you need for utilizing neuroscience in your work. Draw on multiple modalities to overcome resistances, activate creative responses, and turn problems into potentials. Add new dimensions to each therapy session and initiate change using top-down, bottom-up, and horizontal methods that can be creatively individualized.
Leave this program as the most informed clinician you can be, and feel confident in bringing the latest findings from neuroscience into your treatments!

1. Communicate the findings regarding neuroscientific research on the interplay of mental health and key nervous system structures, functions and pathways and recognize how understanding neurological processes can help mental health professionals improve clinical outcomes.
2. Develop a case conceptualization that draws upon neuropsychological principles and can help inform therapeutic methods and goals with clients suffering from anxiety and depression.
3. Analyze how CBT, meditation and other treatment approaches can strengthen or weaken neural pathways regulating stress and reward, and connect this information to your utilization of therapeutic interventions to reduce stress and manage addiction.
4. Maximize capacity for change in clients with neuro-informed explanations that shift the way they feel about themselves and engage them in the therapeutic process.
5. Evaluate how the science of memory malleability impacts clients working through trauma and elucidate how an understanding of implicit memory can be used clinically to identify rigid and maladaptive mental schemas, bring them into conscious awareness, and create new emotional and behavioral habits.
6. Teach clients to identify the brain’s Default Mode Network and Task Mode Network and instruct them on mindfulness, meditation, and somatic techniques that can help them switch between these circuits, redirect their attention, and reduce the stress response.
