Maximizing the Brain-Body Connection to Build Resilient and Regulated Young Clients
Copyright :
When the children you work with don’t show progress despite your best efforts, it’s time for a course correction that considers what our field too often misses—how humans learn to regulate their emotions and behaviors.
In this innovative session, Mona Delahooke, PhD, will deepen your understanding of a hot topic and powerful tool in helping parents build their child’s mental health: Co-regulation. She will teach you why it’s critical to treatment success, maximizes treatment outcomes, and fills in a missing aspect of what is learned in traditional child mental health treatment.
You’ll explore how:
- The important skill of self-regulation grows out of a child’s experience of co-regulation
- Co-regulation serves to regulate a child’s nervous system
- Internal bodily sensations (interoception) leads the way for future emotional literacy and mental health
- To measure a parent’s and child's detection and interpretation of cues of safety, threat, or dangers
- A new treatment roadmap that you can integrate into your practice immediately
- Why we need to shift away from individual child psychotherapy to dyadic work with caregivers
Dr. Delahooke will share techniques from her award-winning book Beyond Behaviors (PESI Publishing & Media, 2019) and from her latest book Brain-Body Parenting (Harper Wave, 2022). Register now!
