Course Description:

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 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.
Objectives:
  1. Explain how brain science forms the basis for evidence-based treatment.
  2. Describe the eight core principles of Interpersonal Neurobiology as a guide for effective practice.
  3. Summarize the importance of early brain development for later relational functioning.
  4. Apply the process of transforming implicit memories.
  5. Summarize the neural correlates of the four attachment styles and how they guide the therapeutic process.
  6. Demonstrate at least three ways you can bring brain wisdom into your practice.
  7. Describe the seven domains of neural integration and develop expertise in spotting the next steps in supporting your clients’ neural integration.

BONNIE BADENOCH, PHD, LMFT

Bonnie Badenoch, Ph.D., LMFT is an in-the-trenches therapist, supervisor, consultant, teacher, and author who has spent the last nine 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, and The Brain-Savvy Therapist's Workbook (2011). Therapists are saying that her books fill the gap between science and practice, and do it with compassion and heart.

She teaches in Portland State University's Interpersonal Neurobiology Certificate program. 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 six 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. She has served the organization on its working board and has recently been elected to the advisory board as well. As part of her mission to share this transforming wisdom with clinicians and educators, she was editor-in-chief of Connections & Reflections, GAINS quarterly publication, and will continue as co-editor-in-chief of its new yearly publication in 2012. 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.
