John Arden – Psychotherapy and the Mind-Body Connection
Mental health isn’t just affected by what happens above the neck.
Our nutrition, gut health, epigenetics, the immune system, and several other interconnected systems throughout the body all play a vital role in treating anxiety, depression, and trauma.
That means it’s no longer good enough to just focus on integrating different models of therapy… the future of psychotherapy lies in integrating both the mind and the body in your treatment.
In this revolutionary training, Dr. Arden brings these complex topics down to earth, providing you with an integrative framework to build a solid foundation for therapy to get better outcomes for your clients faster.
You’ll discover specific techniques you can use in therapy that apply the latest developments in neuroscience, easy-to-understand scripts to use with your clients, and creative analogies that help you and your clients connect the dots.
While supervising hundreds of interns as the training director in the renowned Kaiser Permanente system in California, Dr. John Arden discovered how powerful this mind-body approach was when he started seeing changes in both his own clients and the clients of his colleagues.
In treating the whole person, their time in therapy got shorter, and they were getting better sooner.
In this online course, Dr. Arden reveals how cutting-edge research in both psychology and other related fields (including psychoneuroimmunology, nutrition, epigenetics, and neurobiology) are now bridging the gap and showing you…
- How to use the latest developments in neuroscience to choose therapeutic interventions that fit your client
- What the common factors are between the types of therapy, and why taking different paths can still lead us to the same successful outcomes
- How the feedback loops in both the mind and the body work in tandem to affect clients’ mental health…
While it might feel overwhelming to think about keeping up with the research across all these fields, and some therapists worry that it goes beyond their scope of practice…
The reality is that all you need is a basic understanding of how these puzzle pieces fit together to make dramatic improvements and distinguish yourself from your colleagues.
Plus, without it, our work in therapy can feel like trying to build a house on a windswept sandbar.
