Description

You work hard to remain current on new innovations in order to provide better care to your clients. And there is a wealth of knowledge in the field of neuroscience that can help you enhance the efficacy and efficiency of your practice.

But how can you distinguish between helpful information and data that are irrelevant to therapeutic work? How can you tell the difference between genuine findings and questionable, even deadly, pseudoscientific claims? And how can you connect complex scientific material to the real-world therapies required to assist clients with the mental health difficulties they confront on a daily basis?

This recording will relate the most recent discoveries in neurology and neurobiology to therapeutic treatments that may be used in everyday clinical circumstances. You’ll learn why neuroscience is important in therapy and how to use practical and adaptable strategies from cognitive therapy, attachment therapy, mindfulness, behavioral activation, and positive psychology to treat anxiety, stress, trauma, and depression.

Don’t allow perplexing scientific language and research lead you to dangerous misconceptions or prevent you from improving your practice by using a neuroscience-informed approach to therapeutic work.

Remove the challenges of deciphering complicated scientific data and gain the confidence you need to include the brain into treatment!
