Jon Baylin and Sian Phillips discuss how DDP can change neural networks in ways that promote the development of trust in children who have been impacted by developmental trauma and in the parents and adults who care for them.
Over the past two years, Sian has been integrating Low Energy Neurofeedback (LENS) into her work. DDP is necessary but not always sufficient given the complexity of some of our families. Jon’s expertise in neurobiology and Sian’s clinical experience are brought together to discuss how LENS can relatively quickly organize neural networks in ways that improve children and parent’s ability to make use of therapy and reduce automatic defensive responding.
What you’ll learn
Participants will learn how neural networks adapt to chronic stress and trauma and how LENS can help those neural networks change from adaptive defensive behaviour to more integrated coherent behaviour.
Who is this for?
This session is valuable for anyone interested in DDP, neurobiology and neurofeedback.
About Dr. Jon Baylin
Dr. Baylin has been working for many years on the goal of creating a neurobiological model of how DDP works. Currently he is using a model of developmental trauma based on the newer neuroscience of intrinsic brain networks. He has been teaching mental health professionals about the network model and how relational treatment and neuromodulatory procedures like low energy neurofeedback may help to reset brain networks. Jon has been collaborating with Daniel Hughes for the last 15 years including co-authoring Brain-based Parenting and The Neurobiology of Attachment-Focused Therapy. Jon has been developing a brain-based model of early life adversity and attachment-focused treatment over the past 25 years and has been conducting trainings internationally on the theme of Putting the Brain in Therapy for the past 10 years.
About Dr. Sian Phillips
Sian is a psychologist and DDP Trainer who has been using DDP as a core way of being for the last 20 years. Sian has trained and supervised many therapists and organizations to integrate DDP into their practice. She has worked with educators to create relational safety for students and started the Belong classroom for children who cannot access regular education given their developmental trauma and mistrust of adults. She has co-authored two books and written three chapters outlining the benefit of DDP. More recently Sian has integrated LENS into working with children and parents. This exciting way of working helps decrease defensiveness and re-organizes neural networks in ways that decrease symptoms of trauma and increase availability to relationships and engagement in various forms of therapy. Sian also is integrating Deep Brain Reorienting for adults where trauma symptoms are a function of shock deep in the brain stem.
