In this workshop, we will discuss the latest findings linking neuropsychology with talk psychotherapy. Progressive communication and limbic style interventions rewire pathways in the brain that disrupt repetition compulsion. In this workshop, we will explore how the brain changes when old patterns are worked through in the transferential relationship. When unconscious patterns are reenacted in the transference, both the clinician and the client can activate new neuronal pathways by saying new things and having new experiences. These progressive communications create changes in the limbic system and the prefrontal cortex allowing for more thoughtful, spontaneous responses to occur rather than impulsive, default-like reactions. In this workshop, we hope that you will learn more about how the brain changes and how interventions in talk therapy contribute to these changes.
