Maximizing the Brain-Body Connection to Build Resilient and Regulated Young Clients

$69.99 Standard

When the children you work with don’t show progress despite your best efforts, it’s time for a course correction that considers what our field too often misses—how humans learn to regulate their emotions and behaviors.  

In this innovative session, Mona Delahooke, PhD, will deepen your understanding of a hot topic and powerful tool in helping parents build their child’s mental health: Co-regulation. She will teach you why it’s critical to treatment success, maximizes treatment outcomes, and fills in a missing aspect of what is learned in traditional child mental health treatment.  

You’ll explore how: 

  • The important skill of self-regulation grows out of a child’s experience of co-regulation 
  • Co-regulation serves to regulate a child’s nervous system 
  • Internal bodily sensations (interoception) leads the way for future emotional literacy and mental health 
  • To measure a parent’s and child's detection and interpretation of cues of safety, threat, or dangers 
  • A new treatment roadmap that you can integrate into your practice immediately 
  • Why we need to shift away from individual child psychotherapy to dyadic work with caregivers 

Dr. Delahooke will share techniques from her award-winning book Beyond Behaviors (PESI Publishing & Media, 2019) and from her latest book Brain-Body Parenting (Harper Wave, 2022). Register now!
