Neuroendocrine System and Epigenetics: Improving Focus, Stress, Motivation, and Trauma Treatment
5-Hour Continuing Education Credits are provided and are approved by the National Board of Certified Counselors (NBCC) as a recorded session.
The convergence of research on the neuroendocrine system, the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) Axis, and epigenetics has led to new insights on stress. Chronic and acute use of our fight, flight, or freeze system creates changes in our brain that are related to mental health disorders in ways we’ve never understood as well as we do now. This course will review new evidence in order to teach participants how to more accurately diagnose and enhance treatment techniques.
This is a comprehensive course that will review research and breakthroughs provided by novel data as well as changing past misconceptions about our neuroendocrine system. Practice on more effective techniques of providing psychoeducation to clients will be provided. The course also focuses on understanding how adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) shape our threat response and stress systems, hormones, prime us for how we experience and cope with stressful events, and more.
The course will complete an overview of the most common questions and misconceptions people have about how our brain perceive and interpret stressors. Learners will be prepared to respond to client questions and present information in digestible and useful terms that is clinically relevant. Case vignettes and clinical examples as well as educational videos will also be provided as discussion and practical application in the course. Useful videos and digital handouts will also be provided.
