 Your brain is the organ of learning, loving and behaving. When your brain works right, you work right. When your brain is troubled, you are much more likely to have trouble in your life. Unfortunately, many mental health professionals get little to no training in applying practical neuroscience to their every day practices, which holds them back from getting optimal results. Whether you deal with kids, teens, adults, couples or the elderly, anxiety, depression, ADHD, or the problems of aging having a deeper understanding of brain function and brain optimization strategies is critical to increasing your success.
In this fun, fast paced workshop you will learn the central role of brain function in a mental health practice and specific strategies on how to optimize it. You will learn 7 underlying brain systems related to behavior, the problems associated with each system and how to effectively treat them with natural supplements and various standard and alternative therapeutic interventions.
As Dr. Amen has seen through his extensive brain imaging work is that you and your clients are not stuck with the brains you have, you can make them better and this workshop will show you how.
Specifically, Dr. Amen will show you how to optimize brain function to help you look and feel younger next year. He will discuss the role of nutrition, exercise, mental exercise and natural ways to treat anxiety, depression and ADHD, which all contribute to premature aging. In addition, he will give a very clear program to help your patients decrease their risk for Alzheimer`s disease and related dementias. With our aging population and 77 million Baby Boomers just starting to hit 65, there is a dramatic need for you to add these skills to your practice.
