Abuse, assault, and neglect in early childhood impact every major system in the human brain from the brainstem to the cortex, from the sense of balance to the sense of self.
These disruptions in brain development have far-reaching implications for the treatment of those who have suffered these histories.
If you are already using neurofeedback or considering adopting it with those who have suffered from early childhood neglect and abuse you. will find all of the latest research that supports its use.
If you are not using neurofeedback and don't plan to, I think you will appreciate this investigation of the traumatized brain.
I'm leading a workshop called Developmental Trauma: new thinking; new treatment, new challenges. This 16-week live webinar series will explore an integrated therapeutic approach using trauma-informed psychotherapy, neurofeedback, and trauma-informed bodywork to deeply address the terrible aftermath of developmental trauma.
While this workshop is geared towards professionals, it's open and accessible to trauma survivors, health activists, and others.
My webinar begins Oct 14 in the States and Oct 15 in Australia. Please find more details below.
I hope you join us.
