Taking In The Good (RICKRC-1)
Developmental psychology, psychodynamic theory, and positive psychology all stress the importance of acquiring internal resources such as basic trust, optimism, and a positive mood. In our clients, we want to encourage self-soothing, emotional regulation, and resilience; we want the learning from their steps toward growth to “stick to their ribs.”
The question is: How to actually do this? Particularly given the challenge of the brain’s negativity bias, which preferentially scans for, reacts to, stores,
and recalls negative information about oneself and one’s world. The brain is like Velcro for negative experiences and Teflon for positive ones; the natural result is a growing – and unfair – residue of motional pain, pessimism, and numbing inhibition in implicit memory.
In this clinically focused and practical workshop, Rick Hanson shows how to use the brain’s machinery of memory to get at the essence of beneficial change in psychotherapy and any other process of personal
growth: the internalization of positive experiences. Drawing on recent
discoveries about neuroplasticity, he will present a simple, four step process that weaves positive experiences into the structure of the brain and the fabric of the self. Participants will apply this method to different types of client needs and improve treatment compliance and relapse prevention. There will be plenty of time for questions and discussion and no background with neuroscience is required.
