Using the creative, emotional side of the brain to inform one’s rational thinking works well when our emotions are stable. But when our emotions get “hot” and take over, the connectivity between these two sides of the brain goes “off-line.” An understanding of this neurological process can become a powerful tool for parents/teachers to help children feel “heard” on an emotional level, which facilitates a pathway back to emotional balance and results in cooperative behavior. This workshop will address the functioning of the brain and teach clinicians how to utilize this information in diagnosis of childhood mental disorders as well as learn techniques to treat a variety of diagnoses, including but not limited to: ODD, conduct disorder, adjustment disorder with emotions, conduct, or both, anxiety disorders, attachment disorder and explosive disorders.
