Neuroscience and Trauma Therapy with Bessel A. van der Kolk, M.D.
The recent developments in neuroscience have given us new insights into how trauma impacts the development of the brain, and reorganized how the brain deals with input from its surroundings.
Join world trauma expert and leading authority Bessel A. van der Kolk, M.D. and hear how these findings support a range of new approaches to trauma treatment that until now have not been taught in graduate schools, such as:
Affect regulation
Memory processing
Disturbances in sensori-motor integration
By understanding the impact of trauma on the brain it forces us to reconsider our therapeutic paradigms. Dr. van der Kolk will examine multiple areas in this high-impact 90-minute event.
Counselors, Social Workers, Psychologists, Case Managers, Addiction Counselors, Therapists, Marriage & Family Therapists, Nurses, Other Mental Health Professionals
Objectives
Summarize the recent developments in neuroscience as they relate to the treatment of trauma.
Describe how children learn to regulate their arousal responses.
List and describe techniques of physical mastery, affect regulation and memory processing.
Outline
Neuroscience & Brain Development
Neuroscience research and the course of brain development
How children learn to regulate their arousal systems
How the brain has fundamental capacities to learn to regulate itself
Trauma, abuse and neglect: The derailment of developmental processes and brain development
Traumatic Imprints
Storing of traumatic imprints in the subcortical brain areas and how they are largely divorced from verbal recall
The required central focus of somatic experiencing of trauma-related sensations and affects
How deep imprints are the engines for continuing maladaptive behaviors
Treatment Interventions
Fixation on the trauma
Why learned helplessness requires interventions aimed at restoring active mastery and the capacity to attend to the here-and-now
The role of body-oriented and neurologically-based therapies to resolve the traumatic past
