Embodied Knowledge and the Neurobiology of Mental Conditions

Hours:
10:30 AM – 7:30 PM CEST
9:30 AM – 6:30 PM BST
4:30 AM – 1:30 PM EDT
This seminar will present the physiological basis of the Neuroexperiential Model.
How much body is in the psyche? And how much psyche in the body? How can the body – as carrier and co-creator of psychological processes – be better understood and therapeutically utilized?
Current findings from neuroscience and psychoneuroimmunology invite us to finally leave behind the old separation between body and mind.
This seminar offers an interdisciplinary journey through foundational concepts of embodied knowledge in psychotherapy and the neurobiology of mental disorders.
A stimulating blend of brain research and psychoneuroimmunology – providing essential biological insights for psychotherapists and trauma professionals.
Seminar Topics:
Psychoneuroimmunology
Muscle tone: From trauma to muscular tension How stress, inflammation, and sleep disturbances shape physical and psychological states The body’s diverse memory and energy systems Sensitive system and autonomous regulation Sensory gating: How the brain protects itself
