Workshop Details
Program Description:
Science has learned more about the neurophysiology and neurochemistry of the brain in the past five years than
all knowledge accumulated in the previous 100 years. And with each year, the pace of this learning continues to
accelerate. Every healthcare worker, including psychotherapists, has a duty to understand how the brain works,
especially as it relates to the neurophysiology of change and emotional growth.
This three hour workshop explores some of the fascinating findings about the brain and its mind. We will
explore myths about brain functioning (“ Are people really “ right-brained” or “ left-brained” ?). We will examine
what is known about the neurophysiology of change, including the change produced by psychotherapy. We will
engage in a healthy dose of skepticism about psychopharmacological medications, so we can make informed
recommendations about the medications our clients consume. And we will probe some of the shocking wonders
of the most complex subject of all to comprehend: the mystery of consciousness.
Objectives:
At the completion of this training, the participant will:
1 ) Understand the history of brain localization experiments and list useful properties of brain localization
research
2 ) Understand the basic mechanisms of action concerning psychopharmacological medications, including
vital information about which medications may help and, which may hinder emotional and cognitive
change
3 ) Have a deeper understanding of the complexities of consciousness and the schools of thought about
conscious experience
4 ) Understand the neurophysiology of human epiphany
