[Audio] BT18 Short Course 31 – Energy Psychology: A Brief Therapy to Treat Trauma – Robert Schwarz, PsyD

Description:

This workshop presents an elegant integration of Interpersonal neurobiology, polyvagal theory and memory reconsolidation that underlies energy psychology approaches to trauma treatment. Participants will learn how to incorporate this “power therapy” with their current methods to regulate emotional over-arousal and escalating patterns of reactivity while creating greater personal empowerment.

Both the current research and the basic clinical protocols will be presented.

Educational Objectives:
