Description
Description:
The majority of people who seek psychiatric care have histories of trauma, chaos or neglect. Advances in the neurosciences, attachment research and in information processing show how brain function is shaped by experience, and that life itself can continually transform perception and biology. Overwhelming experiences alter the capacity for selfregulation and memory processing due to changes in sub-cortical, i.e., “unconscious” levels of the brain. The memory imprints of the trauma(s) are held in bodily states and physical action patterns, which causes the entire human organism to automatically react to current experiences as a replay of the past. This workshop includes: Affective neuroscience for thoughtful clinicians; Introduction to the neurobiology of attachment, the nature of the threat response, attention, exploration and concentration, as well as lessons from neuro-managing and psychophysiology.
Educational Objectives:
- To describe how trauma shapes brain function.
- Given a client suffering from trauma, design a treatment using neuro-management.
