Playback session - audio sample

Clients with personality disorders--who are narcissistic, borderline, dependent, or antisocial--usually suffered from severe attachment disruptions in childhood, resulting in profound relationship difficulties that can make forming a therapeutic alliance and treatment itself a minefield for therapists. Yet, insights into these disorders from the fields of traumatology and neuroscience have revealed new considerations for treatment, including the critical role of brain-to-brain attunement and limbic resonance, that didn't exist just 10 years ago. In this workshop, you'll learn practical, effective interventions informed by neuroscience that help clients safely manage frightening symptoms, including violence and emotional meltdowns and develop healthier boundaries and a more differentiated sense of self, while enabling you to avoid the potential clinical traps that arise in this kind of work. The workshop will include demonstrations of interventions that you'll then have the opportunity to try out in the session with other attendees.
