Relationships and the Health-Promoting Power of Connection Across the Lifespan offers an immersion into relationships through the interdisciplinary framework of Interpersonal Neurobiology, drawing on the spectrum of scientific disciplines such as developmental neuroscience and attachment research to clarify the crucial role that attachment plays in shaping the neural and relational aspects of mind. Neuroscience research has demonstrated that all mammals connect through various aspects of the cortex, limbic system, and brain stem. Thoughts impact cells, and trauma and stress affect our bodies. Our focus is on various ways to repair stress and trauma-induced physical and psychological disorders through the power of strong relationships and deepened connections.
This program discusses the research showing that one of the most health and life promoting activities of all mammals including humans is connection and a sense of togetherness. There is considerable evidence that intimate connections – whether marriage, deep friendships, psychotherapy, or groups working toward a common goal – lead to healthier and longer lifespans. The speakers present a range of effective methods to achieve the betterment of relationships as well as ways to enter into healing partnerships with therapists, friends and intimate mates.
Weaving collaborative dialogue with didactic presentations, this program offers psychologists, psychiatrists, physicians, therapists, counselors, wellness coaches, and other health care professionals an opportunity to attain greater competence by integrating new research and information in the clinical arena. The goal is to increase skills in the treatment and guidance of individuals, families, & groups, assist in promoting well-being, and exploring new ways of talking and listening, all of which facilitate connection and the experience of joyful aliveness.
