Instructor: Sebern Fisher, MA, LMH, BCN

This webinar will focus on the impact of trauma on the developing brain; on the neurological problems the brain faces in regulating affect and how neurofeedback can help; and a brief discussion of integration of neurofeedback and psychotherapy.
 
Those of us who are treating people who suffered neglect, emotional abuse, and/or assault in early childhood know that psychotherapy alone is not enough. Recent research (Lanius 2016; van der Kolk 2016) shows that guiding the brain toward its own regulation can significantly enhance treatment outcomes, but neurofeedback alone is also not enough. In many cases, neurofeedback makes psychotherapy possible and productive for these clients and their therapists.
 
Sebern Fisher is a trauma therapist who has been practicing the integration of psychotherapy and neurofeedback for the past twenty years. See a short biography below.
