Mindfulness and Self-Compassion Based Couples and Family Therapy
Copyright :
This presentation will introduce the interpersonal neurobiology behind the embodied social emotional intimacy of parent-child dyads, couples and families. Based on that neurobiology and the differential effects of chronic stress and trauma versus secure attachment and belonging on brain development, it explains the theory and practice behind applying mindfulness and self-compassion to reduce stress, heal trauma and promote social engagement in couples therapy and family therapy.
