Beyond Behaviors: Moving Toward Brain-Body Integration with Kids

$129.99 Standard

Anyone who’s worked with kids can attest that top-down cognitive and behavioral interventions are commonly used to address anxiety, noncompliance, and many DSM diagnoses. But recent neuroscientific discoveries show us that emotional and behavioral control is more embodied, developmental, and relational than we’d once thought. Instead of placing undue pressure on neuro-normative and neuro-diverse kids to comply with behavioral expectations before they’re developmentally ready, we now have a chance to use bottom-up, body-based approaches that can help them learn effective and lifelong skills of self-regulation and building resilience. In this paradigm-shifting session, you’ll discover:

  • How to distinguish between top-down and body-up or bottom-up behaviors in children
  • Practical strategies to build resilience and self-regulation in both parent and child
  • How behavior management techniques can harm children’s sense of relational safety
  • How to translate Polyvagal Theory into your clinical work with kids and parents
  • Why dyadic work with parent and child is the most impactful modality for solving childhood emotional challenges

Here's What You'll Learn


  • A paradigm shift in mental health from a focus on behaviors to what underlies behavioral challenges
  • Looking at nervous system regulation as a core feature of behavioral growth and change
  • Approaching behavior changes through the lens of polyvagal theory
  • How emotions are made and the theory of constructed emotions (Feldman Barrett)
  • Two key factors in creating emotional regulation in children
  • Neural exercises for child psychotherapy

Everything You're Getting


  • More than 2 hours of video content
  • CE information to come
