♦ Thorough exploration of Interpersonal Neurobiology ("IPNB"), a trans-disciplinary, scientific framework and Dan Siegel's Mindsight approach
♦ 36-hours of newly recorded video lectures, eligible for 36 hours of CE credit
♦ Cutting-edge science and insight on the areas of the mind, brain, and relationships
♦ 9 domains of integration made accessible for use in your clinical practice
♦ Practical tools such as the Hand Model of the Brain, case examples, and detailed descriptions of how to use the material in treatment planning and intervention
♦ Experiential elements such as neurobiology-focused breath and guided awareness exercises, including the Wheel of Awareness practice, a series of integrative movements, and reflections to help you make the material your own
♦ Written materials including an outline of the course and a complete index of studies, books, and resources mentioned throughout the training
Mind: Explore the most recent science of what the mind is and how to optimize mental health. Master the foundational concepts of integration, energy flow, consciousness, and subjective experience to provide effective therapeutic interventions.
Brain: Dive into the fascinating field of neuroplasticity as Dr. Siegel highlights the structure and function of the embodied brain and the bodily systems that shape our mental lives. Take away tools to help clients integrate their body and its nervous system to live with well-being and a happiness that includes meaning, connection, and emotional balance.
Relationships: Explore all stages of development, from conception to adulthood, illuminating how our early life experiences and relationships shape who we become. Learn the science of relationships, from romantic to familial and friendships, and discover how to support healthy interpersonal connection.
Attachment: Discover how early attachment experiences relate to patterns in adult relationships and clinical implications for life-long connections that impact our healthspan – how long we live with well-being. With a focus on the Adult Attachment Interview, explore how to help clients work through traumatic relationships, construct coherent narratives, and create secure attachment patterns throughout the lifespan.
The 9 Domains of Integration: Enjoy the most thorough teachings in the key elements of integration, the differentiation and linkage of parts of a system, which includes domains of: consciousness, bilateral and vertical neurology, state, memory, narrative, interpersonal, time, and identity. With detailed explanations, case examples, and clinical summaries of each topic, you will be able to incorporate these elements into your practice immediately.
