In conjunction with Dr. Schnarch's new book, Brain Talk, which was released in English in January, 2018 and will be released in German later this year, we are announcing a new training workshop for therapists on Crucible Neurobiological Therapy. This year's Six Day Neurobiological Intensive Training #2 will broaden the scope of last year's Intensive Training, covering a second set of clinical methods, focusing on advanced ways of treating emotional regressions.

Workshop Overview for 2017

For the last several years, our "transitional" trainings on "Mind Mapping-Based Therapy" have been showing therapists how to integrate the brain science of mind mapping into dealing with common marital and family problems. This year our training shifts another step, towards teaching the heart and soul of Crucible Neurobiological Therapy. Whereas traditional Crucible Therapy focused on treating behavior-based relationship problems in a differentiation framework, Crucible Neurobiological Therapy is a brain-based treatment for interpersonal trauma.

This workshop offers four new areas of coverage:

  1. Diagnostic framework for interpersonal neurobiological problems
  2. Functional understanding of brain neuroscience necessary to treat traumatic mind mapping and subtle interpersonal trauma.
  3. Toolbox of Crucible Neurobiological Therapy clinical methods used to treat neurobiological problems.
  4. In-session psychophysiological measurement of clients and therapist.

 

What is an interpersonal neurobiological problem? This workshop lays out the spectrum of interpersonal neurobiological problems caused by subtle interpersonal trauma, existing outside the behavior-based DSM and ICDM frameworks. Diagnostic methods are also covered.

Methods-Based Focus: This new training focuses on interventions and methods specific to Crucible Neurobiological Therapy, including a range of modalities not previously covered in any of our workshops. It is loaded with practical examples from Dr. Schnarch's own practice, including recordings of actual treatment sessions and additional materials produced by clients. Learn how to effectively treat interpersonal neurobiological problems.

Empirical measurement: Bring empiricism to your clinical work and differentiate your practice from those of most therapists. Learn how to conduct in-session real-time physiological monitoring of clients and therapist to facilitate treatment and demonstrate your effectiveness. This program offers hands-on familiarization with the necessary technology.

Six-Day Format: Would you like a complete immersion experience into brain-based treatment of interpersonal trauma? To enhance training in our brain-based approach, we are returning to the six day Intensive Training format we originally used to teach behavior-based Crucible Therapy in the 1980s and 90s. This longer immersion experience facilitates several goals: It permits deeper learning of specific advanced clinical methodologies that facilitate application in practice.

We're also using the 6-day program to expedite dissemination of this new therapy and emergence of therapists trained in this approach. We will offer an additional 6-day Intensive Training (#2) in 2018, covering a second set of clinical methods (focusing on advanced ways of treating emotional regressions). These two trainings provide thorough exposure to the practical methods of Crucible Neurobiological Therapy.

By attending this workshop, you will learn:
  1. Typology of newly-discovered interpersonal neurobiological problems (omitted from DSM and ICDM).
  2. In-depth methods for treating and resolving severe as well as subtle interpersonal trauma, including

    1. Processing prior trauma images to remove flashbacks, memory problems, and allow full resolution

      1. Right-brain re-visualization and writing techniques for assessment and treatment.

        1. How best to analyze client writings.
        2. Commenting on clients' writing for maximum impact.
        3. Revisualization techniques.
    2. How best to deal with the antagonist/abuser, aging parents, and family pressures.
  3. Removing interpersonal neurobiological problems:

    1. Typical treatment patterns.
    2. Clinical strategy.
    3. Necessary steps in treatment.
    4. Eliciting problems in session.
    5. Explaining neurobiological problems to clients.
  4. Recorded demonstrations of Dr. Schnarch conducting Crucible Neurobiological Therapy.
  5. Opportunities to review and study clients' actual writings and revisualizations. From Dr. Schnarch's own clinical cases.
  6. Personal self-application of the methods being taught.
  7. Using in-session physiological monitoring of clients and therapist to augment treatment.
Schedule of topics for 2017
