Brain-Based Therapy and PTSD

Overview:

Brain-based therapy synthesizes neuroscience, evidence- based treatment, psychotherapy research, and attachment theory into a hybrid therapeutic model. This model helps identify which elements of psychotherapeutic schools are effective and which may be counter-therapeutic. Brain-based therapy envisions the therapeutic process as brain changing as necessary to change mood and behavior. The model proposes moving beyond the theoretical school paradigm. 

This training will 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. Special attention will be given to addressing the neuro- dynamics of PTSD and the crucial role of memory.
