A Level 2 Insight Professional Development Course for People Who Work with People
insight focused neurotherapy | part a
Current research shows that the practical application of neuroscience and mindfulness principles in therapy enhances positive psychological change and growth. The data is so compelling; we can no longer ignore it. Our approach, Insight Focused NeuroTherapy (IFnT), employs the findings of neuroscience, mindfulness and compassion research. IFnT provides the necessary components and processes needed to utilise the brains innate capacity to change at a structural and functional level.
The course covers:
- Neuroscience of the brain
- Mindful acceptance, kindness and compassion that calms reactivity and down-regulates anxiety
- ‘Open mind-space’ – a perspective that allows us to see beyond the automated patterns of behaviour
- Polyvagal Theory – utilising the vagus nerve to calm the brain, incorporating Porges ‘neuroception of safety’
- Social Constructivism and the development of neurological structures in the brain
- Epigenetics – environmental impact on gene expression (inherited or present experience)
- Neural reconfiguration and integration (Coherence Theory)
- Positivity Theory – Softening the defenses, Broaden and Build, ‘micro moments of love’ by Barbara Fredrickson
- Clean Language – therapeutic language by David Grove
- ‘Wheel of Awareness’- adapted from Dr Dan Siegel’s work
- ‘Emergence’ – Complexity Theory
who should attend
We have tailored this course to those who work in people-helping professions, and those who wish to enhance their personal growth and development. Ideally, participants will have completed a Level 1 Insight course and want to take their mindfulness training to the next level.
With the ever increasing demands and expectations on us, techniques that care for body and mind are essential to help us thrive.
