Siegel, M.D. Director, Mindsight Institute Translating the new neuroscience—particularly interpersonal neurobiology—into useful clinical practice can be both mysterious and difficult for many mental health clinicians. Join Bonnie Badenoch, Ph.D., author of Being a Brain-Wise Therapist: A Practical Guide to Interpersonal Neurobiology, to learn about brain science and how it forms the basis for evidence-based treatment. Take home practical skills designed to not only improve treatment outcomes but also your relationship with clients. This seminar recording is based on Dr. Badenoch’s work in interpersonal neurobiology. Explore scientifically grounded means for changing implicit, explicit and autobiographical memories. You will be able to recognize the four patterns of attachment in yourself and your clients, as well as learn how to help clients heal these wounds. Finally, we will explore the relationship between early attachment experiences and severe diagnoses like borderline personality and PTSD. Dr. Badenoch will translate neuroscience into practical and concrete techniques for you to improve treatment outcomes. Through the use of case studies, mindfulness and self-reflection, you will end the day with new, evidence-based skills and a sense of purpose in your work—no matter your clinical setting. Brain-wise therapy will become the new foundation of evidence-based practice Take home methods to nurture neuroplasticity and neural integration—the basis of well-being Experience the new neuroscience to improve treatment outcomes Learn specific techniques on applying brain science in therapy Explain how brain science forms the basis for evidence-based treatment. Describe the eight core principles of Interpersonal Neurobiology as a guide for effective practice. Summarize the importance of early brain development for later relational functioning. Apply the process of transforming implicit memories. Summarize the neural correlates of the four attachment styles and how they guide the therapeutic process. Demonstrate at least three ways you can bring brain wisdom into your practice. Describe the seven domains of neural integration and develop expertise in spotting the next steps in supporting your clients’ neural integration. The Developing Brain: A Foundation for Evidence-Based Practice Neuroplasticity—and how we experience it Why bring the brain into therapy? Experiencing the embodied and relational brain Hard science as the key to expanding empathic presence Brain wisdom as burnout protection Bringing the Neurobiology of Attachment into Psychotherapy Brain development in the first two years: The implicit and enduring foundation Reshaping the nervous system The new science of memory reconsolidation Spotting the neural correlates of the four attachment styles Interventions to foster earned secure attachment The Connection Between Attachment and Diagnosis The relationship between attachment and diagnosis (SOMETHING ELSE) Picturing the brain in borderline, PTSD and other severe diagnoses How our attachment influences therapy Neural Integration as the Basis for Treatment 7 paths of neural integration as a guide for our next therapeutic move Practical ways the perspective of integration shapes our practice The goal: Happiness or resilience? 8 Take-Away Messages from Relational Neuroscience: A Blueprint for Effective Practice Early history matters The body is part of every memory Brains can and do change all the time Mindful attention is a key agent of change Therapist mental health matters…and more About the Presenter: Bonnie Badenoch, Ph.D., LMFT is an in-the-trenches therapist, supervisor, consultant, teacher and author who has spent the last seven years integrating the discoveries of neuroscience into the art of therapy. Out of this study—combined with her 19 years of working with survivors of trauma and attachment struggles—came her book, Being a Brain-Wise Therapist: A Practical Guide to Interpersonal Neurobiology, published in 2008 as part of Norton’s Interpersonal Neurobiology Series. It will be followed in 2011 by Being a Brain-Wise Therapist: A Workbook. Therapists are saying that her book fills the gap between science and practice, and does it with compassion and heart. She teaches in Portland State University’s Interpersonal Neurobiology Certificate program and speaks internationally. Additionally, Bonnie consults with fellow clinicians and educators; works with agencies to implement IPNB principles; speaks around the country and assists other IPNB enthusiasts in their writing endeavors. In 2006, she was one of 6 co-founders of GAINS (Global Association of Interpersonal Neurobiology Studies), a nonprofit educational organization that promotes application of the principles of IPNB as articulated by Daniel J. Siegel, Allan Schore, Louis Cozolino and others. As part of her mission to share this transforming wisdom with clinicians and educators, she is also editor-in-chief of Connections & Reflections, GAINS quarterly publication. She has a gift for translating the complexities of brain science into words, experiences and examples that allow people to internalize the principles, so they can use them in the counseling room.
