This web conference is fourth in the series, Essential Neuroscience Wisdom for Psychotherapists. It will feature our three esteemed neuroscience panelists with GoodTherapy.org CEO, Noah Rubinstein, as moderator. Kim Barthel, Debra Pearce-McCall, and Bruce Ecker will discuss why neuroplasticity is important, how it’s used in the clinical setting to release trauma, and how to assist poople in rewiring their brains for lasting change.
Understanding the inner workings of the brain can help therapists to recognize the brain's role in the therapeutic process, regardless of the mode of therapy used. In addition, when individuals understand how the brain hardwires itself and how it can be rewired into a different state of mind, they may feel empowered and hopeful about creating change as a result.
In this presentation, Noah will present specific questions to the panelists and allow each one to respond from his or her experience and expertise. In addition, members will be encouraged to actively participate during question-and-answer periods.
The following is an overview of the first three web conferences in the neuroscience series:
In the first presentation, Using Neurobiology to Understand Why Humans Do What They Do, Kim Barthel will review the basics of brain-behavior science as a way to better understand human behavior and to facilitate neural change. She will also present methods for applying neuroscience concepts in clinical practice.
In the second presentation, Trinocular Vision: Healing Relationships, Minds, and Brains, Debra Pearce-McCall will discuss interpersonal neurobiology and introduce her concept of "trinocular vision" to help clinicians gain perspective on the interconnected nature of the mind, relationships, and the brain. She will provide case examples and exercises to demonstrate her methods.
In the third presentation, Memory Reconsolidation: A Brain Research Advancement that Guides Clinical Breakthroughs and Unifies the Psychotherapy Field, Bruce Ecker will introduce evidence-based techniques for permanently erasing emotional learnings, as demonstrated in case examples. He will also discuss the therapist's role in facilitating lasting, transformational change.
