Description: You know that point when treatment feels stuck? Goals are clearly outlined, the client “understands” the obstacles and is a willing participant in the work but results are stalled. At the heart of these difficult treatment moments is coding in implicit memory. At the heart of the solutions is working at re-working these implicit memory codes.
Objectives
By the end of this workshop, participants will:
- Gain an overview of the 3 types of implicit memory.
- Understand how, what and why material is encoded in implicit memory vs explicit memory.
- Be able to identify therapeutic approaches that are effective for pinpointing and changing implicit memory coding.
- Be exposed to a host of brain and body based therapies that speak the “language” of implicit memory.
