Part II Making the Most of Neuroplasticity

Specific skills related to educating and priming patients for success. Charting the clinical course throughout a series of prefrontal neurofeedback sessions to maximize the developmental reset and mind/brain integration. Learning Objectives: Describe ways to make prime patients for success including making prefrontal neurofeedback relevant, relatable, palatable, meaningful, hopeful, and curious. Identify changes in tension-relieving behaviors, narrative, and agency that form the backbone of neuroplasticity  Understand how to apply motivational interviewing and personalized data collection to elicit helpful reflections from clients on their nervous system changes and build self-efficacy.  Explain neurofeedback’s outcomes in the context of attachment theory and interpersonal neurobiology (Siegel) and how nervous system regulation can engage a healthier developmental pathway for the brain, mind, and relationships typically associated with secure models of attachment •Understand how to stay the course during treatment, use individuals’ expanded window of tolerance, anticipate evolving and post-treatment effects, and work to strengthen this healthier developmental pathway.
