This year’s seminar will focus on the practical applications of Brain-Based Therapy.   For example, the role of diet and educating clients will be emphasized, how healthy brains can be enhanced on the one hand or destabilized on the other hand by what clients eat.   The role of alcohol and other drugs will be discussed and how they can mimic symptoms of many psychological disorders.  How gender influences development and a range of symptoms are characteristic of each gender, the foundational role of memory will be explored and how to work with these memory systems in therapy.  Also, special attention will be placed upon how to improve memory. This seminar will also examine the use of brain-based therapy to enhance outcome with people who have been traumatized. The role that brain function plays in mood, memory and behavior will be identified, including discussions on the difference between male and female brains, the middle aged brain and how alcohol affects the brain. Special attention will be given to addressing the neurodynamics of PTSD and the crucial role of memory. Using a synthesized model of neuroscience, attachment theory and evidence-based treatment, you will learn how to more effectively treat clients with PTSD."
