Drawing on cutting-edge research and neuroscience, this workshop focuses on the information highlighted in Dr. Bryson's new book The Yes Brain (Random House, 2017, co-authored with Daniel J. Siegel)  Understanding the Yes Brain approach will allow therapists to:

  • Apply the framework of interpersonal neurobiology to child development and discipline strategies
  • Understand different types of integration that will allow them to teach parents and other clients in revolutionary ways;
  • Utilize Yes Brain strategies to lay the groundwork for promoting integration and mental health in parents and their children;
  • Be intentional about teaching specific caregiving experiences to shape how children's brains are wired and therefore function;
  • Teach kids about their own brain so they can have additional tools for self-regulation and make better decisions;
  • Work with parents to establish a consistent, overarching, approach to child development
  • Give kids tools to change their own struggles so they can be less reactive and more resilient.
In this workshop, Dr. Bryson presents the latest scientific research--with a special emphasis on attachment, sensorimotor psychotherapy, and neuroplasticity and the changing brain--in a way that's clear, interesting, and immediately practical.  The focus is on better understanding the role of experience and focused attention on the ever-developing brain. 

Using stories, case examples, power point, videos, and a lot of humor, Dr. Bryson encourages therapists to keep their own developing brains in mind as they nurture the growing minds of kids and other individuals.  She provides creative examples of how she uses brain science--sometimes in the form of cartoon strips--in her office to help kids see things differently and acquire new tools to be resilient and feel hope about achieving lasting change in their lives. 


At the end of the workshop, you will have a new framework for understanding and evolving your own work, along with Yes Brain strategies you can use to help kids move from reactivity to resilience.
