From behaviour to brain to genes and back again
Description
The avalanche of information over the past decade has introduced brain plasticity and even gene plasticity, but what does that mean for the therapist? This good question will be addressed in this presentation. Just how do behaviour, the brain and our genes go together to give us some benefit in helping the client? The most important thing about knowledge is that it allows us to move our intuitions forward with confidence and understanding. When things that were intuitive become known, things we never imagined are free to enter our intuition. This is how we grow as both people and therapists.
