Description

Introducing the basics of neuroscience and showing how the brain works together to create therapeutic change. Shifting focus on the Neurobiology of trauma and the medications used to treat trauma and dissociation. Finally, we will discuss the difference between a biological and psychological symptom and show how to use Internal Family Systems to work with parts around medication decisions.

Learning Objectives

At the end of this course, participants will be able to:

  • Compare the basics of neuroscience and its relation to the Internal Family Systems model of therapy, as well as the specific parts of the brain that are important in trauma.

  • Describe how to categorize memory, both implicit and explicit. They will acquire knowledge about the neurobiology of trauma and its relation to high cortisol within the body.

  • Illustrate insight into medications, their mechanisms of action, their relationship to neurotransmitters, and the distinctions between various neurotransmitters.

  • Explore the distinction between biological and psychological symptoms and demonstrate how Internal Family Systems can be employed to navigate medication decisions by addressing different parts.
