Learning Objectives
Participants will be able to:
-
Apply the framework of interpersonal neurobiology to child development, clinical practice, and parenting in a clinical setting with particular focus on the role of attachment relationships on the developmental trajectory and brain development.
-
Describe 4 approaches to cultivate secure attachment, optimal development, and lay the foundation for integration in the brain.
-
Describe at least 2 considerations for teaching specific caregiving and intervention approaches to shape how children's brains are wired and function.
-
Identify at least 2 possible ways to change and make repairs for brains of all ages.
-
Identify at least 2 connections between attachment patterns to nervous system arousal patterns and psychobiological reactions in child, parent and clinician.
Description
How do clinicians support parents who are stressed out and dealing with their kids’ challenging behaviors? Who are reflecting on how they were parented? Who are working through trauma? And who struggle with their own emotional regulation? In our time together, we’ll look at what the science says about the best predictors for how children develop, and how clinicians can work with parents in two main areas: cultivating secure attachment, and responding to behavioral challenges, both the run-of-the-mill kind and more significant social and emotional issues. Drawing on attachment and child development research, the science of interpersonal neurobiology, and clinical experience, this workshop selects the most relevant topics for clinicians in Dr. Bryson’s best-selling books The Whole-Brain Child and No-Drama Discipline, The Yes Brain, and The Power of Showing Up.
She’ll discuss the latest scientific research–with a special emphasis on neuroplasticity and the changing brain–in a way that’s clear, interesting, and immediately practical. Dr. Bryson will also share stories and simple strategies for honoring the Four S’s (helping clients of all ages feel safe, seen, soothed, and secure) effectively in professional and client interactions, as well as how she uses brain science in her own practice to help clients see things differently and feel hope about achieving lasting change in their lives.
We’ll learn this together by looking through the lens of interpersonal neurobiology, where we consider our own, and our client’s embodied brain, nervous system, mind, and relationships as we work as change agents to help our clients thrive. At the end of the conference, the audience will have a new framework for understanding and evolving their own work, along with practical strategies they can learn to help families move from reactivity to resilience.

Presenters
Dr. Tina Payne Bryson (she/her) is the author of Bottom Line for Baby (Random House 2020) and co-author (with Dan Siegel) of THE POWER OF SHOWING UP (Random House 2020) and THE YES BRAIN (Random House 2018), as well as two New York Times bestsellers — THE WHOLE-BRAIN CHILD (Random House 2011), and NO-DRAMA DISCIPLINE (Random House 2014) — each of which has been translated into over fifty languages. THE WHOLE-BRAIN CHILD has now sold over a million copies. Tina is a psychotherapist and the Founder/Executive Director of The Center for Connection, a multidisciplinary clinical practice, and of The Play Strong Institute, a center devoted to the study, research, and practice of play therapy through a neurodevelopment lens. Dr. Bryson keynotes conferences and conducts workshops for kids, parents, educators, clinicians, and industry leaders all over the world, and she makes frequent media appearances (for example, in TIME Magazine, “Good Morning America,” Huffington Post, Redbook, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and Real Simple). A graduate of Baylor University, she earned her LCSW and Ph.D. from the University of Southern California, where her research explored attachment science, childrearing theory, and the emerging field of interpersonal neurobiology. Tina’s professional life now focuses on taking research and theory from various fields of science, and offering it in a way that’s clear, realistic, humorous, and immediately helpful. As she puts it, “For parents, clinicians, and teachers, learning about how kids’ (and their own) brains work is surprisingly practical, informing how they approach discipline, how they help kids deal with everyday struggles, and ultimately how they connect with the children they care about.”
