Building Resources for Resiliency and Change.

We look forward to seeing you there!
With the advent of recent Brain-Body research the field of psychology and human behaviour is undergoing a major change in understanding the dynamics of conscious choice and the power of instinctual reactivity. Leading edge scientists and clinicians are exploring the role of the individual's experience of choice. Through didactic presentations, individual and small group interactions, we will explore the roles of maintaining choice in highly intense experiences. This work addresses the resourcing of both clinicians and clients in a psycho-educational ongoing process. Participants will leave with very simple yet effective Mind-Body exercises that will enhance centeredness, grounding and containment and interventions that will help promote resiliency and change with clients.
