After completing this course, you will be able to:
- Understand how the brain’s need to manage the body’s resources sheds light on such diverse phenomenon as emotion, attachment, depression, and defenses.
- Outline how emotions are constructed by unconscious predictions constantly run by our brain to explain both the outer and inner world, and how those predictions shift our bodily state.
- Explain how Social Baseline Theory can serve as a bridge between the theory of constructed emotion and attachment theory, giving us a new lense to view the importance of attachment security.
- Describe the importance of resource in allowing us to come into our full complexity as human beings.
NEW BRAIN SCIENCE: A NOVEL LOOK AT HOW ATTACHMENT REGULATES THE BRAIN AND BODY THROUGH RESOURCE
This 2-hour course explores a cutting-edge way of looking at emotion and the brain (as outlined in Lisa Feldman Barrett’s book “How Emotions are Made”), and how these ideas can shed light on the importance of (and process of) attachment. 2 APA-approved CEU’s provided (if you are not a psychologist, you may want to check with your board that APA-approved CEU’s are recognized in your state).
