This seminar focuses on the role of early experience and emotional regulation and will address the various feedback loops that make us who we are. These include multiple levels of gene expression, the way our immune system is activated or inactivated, various new developments in neuroscience, and the concept of the mind. This concept of “the mind” is further explained by considering that it is not necessarily isolated to any one particular state of mind, but a fluid stream of consciousness based on new developments in neuroscience and psychology. These fluid states of mind known as the “mental operating networks” will be explored as well as how they all result in the overall experience of “the self” or self organization.
At the conclusion of this course, participants will be able to:
Licensed mental health professionals employed through Kaiser Permanente and psychological assistants performing under supervision of a licensed psychologist.
