This course explores how an understanding of "interpersonal neurobiology," the neural processes connecting one brain to another, can help therapists work more effectively. Using the insights of research in neurobiology and psychology, we'll discuss what therapists can do to facilitate neural integration and emotional transformation in their consulting rooms. The presenter will demonstrate how understanding the deeply social nature of the brain is no less important than integrating the other "systems" clients bring to therapy—family of origin, spouse and children, and cultural, ethnic, and social background. By the time the session ends, you'll have specific tools with which to apply neuroscience to your therapy practice.
