Abstract:
Over the last two decades, we have seen an explosion of neuroscience research that is highly relevant to our understanding of how individuals adapt to overwhelming experience. This workshop will present pioneering work outlining key brain underpinnings of trauma and their relevance to treatment. We will also describe how we can harness neuroplasticity of the brain to facilitate healing in the aftermath of trauma by restoring critical brain networks.
This lecture is for mental health professionals: psychiatrists, psychologists, psychotherapists, and other health practitioners who have experience of working with early adversity and trauma.
