Wired For Healing: The Birth of Transformance
Drawing on neuroscience and developmental research,
as well as the resilience-affirming clinical practice of
Accelerated Experiential-Dynamic Psychotherapy, Dr.
Fosha, author of The Transforming Power of Affect: A
Model for Accelerated Change, will focus on how we
can relate --in life, in parenting, in therapy, with each
other, and within ourselves-- in ways that awaken
transformational strivings, and in the process, enhance
health, healing and well-being. |
