Goal of Training
This training explores how Interpersonal Neurobiology (IPNB) can be used as a framework to inform and enhance therapeutic bonding, empathy, regulation, and attachment. Participants will learn how our interactions shape one another's brains through the qualities of our relationships and how attachment relates to addiction. With utilization of the IPNB framework clinicians can enhance their understanding of how unhealthy behavioral patterns exist at the neurobiological level, the dynamics of addiction and mental health problems, and how to utilize the therapeutic relationship to promote change for their clients.
In this training, special attention is given to:
The limbic system, mirror neurons, and the prefrontal cortex,
The embodied brain and nervous system,
Attachment, addiction and neuroplasticity,
Self-states as defense mechanisms and promoting change, and
The role of mindsight in the therapy process
Behavioral Objectives
This is considered an intermediate level training for individuals familiar with the basic concepts. Participants at this training will be able to:
- Describe the components of the Embodied Brain,
- Identify how early attachment effects brain development and nervous system regulation, and its relation to addiction,
- Describe how implicit memory shapes ongoing experience and patterns,
- Advantages of neuroplasticity on impact of clinician/client relations in treating addiction, and,
- Identify the role of trauma in addictions.
