Thanks to conclusive research, we now know of several downsides to the endless pursuit of self-esteem such as constant social comparisons, and instability of self-worth.World-renowned Self-Compassion expert, Dr. Kristin Neff, shows first-hand how self-compassion is a healthier way of relating to oneself, offering all the benefits of self-esteem without its downsides.Rather than continually judging and evaluating ourselves, self-compassion involves generating kindness toward ourselves as imperfect humans, and learning to be present with the inevitable struggles of life with greater ease. It motivates us to make needed changes in our lives not because we’re worthless or inadequate, but because we care about ourselves and want to lessen our suffering.This seminar recording will provide tools for responding in a kind, compassionate way whenever we are experiencing painful emotions. We all want to avoid pain, but letting it in-and responding compassionately to our own imperfections without harsh self-condemnation-are essential steps toward living happier, more fulfilling lives.Through discussion, meditation, and experiential exercises, you will gain practical skills to help bring self-compassion into your daily life and techniques to give your clients.Armed with greater self-compassion your clients will be better able to manage their depression, anxiety, despair, shame and trauma. Teach your clients how to overcome difficult emotions with greater ease and to better self-motivate with kindness rather than criticism.Practices will also be introduced to help ease stress for caregivers. This course is relevant for all mental health and healthcare professionals – and is of immediate personal benefit to all who attend.DetailsobjectivesOutlineAuthorCE CreditsAudienceOutlineIntroductionExercise: How do I treat a friend?Self-Compassion Theory and ResearchExercise: Soothing Touch/Self-Compassion BreakMeditation: Affectionate BreathingMindfulness, Stress and ResistanceBackdraftMeditation: Loving-kindness for a loved oneWhy do we criticize ourselves?Exercise: Compassionate motivationSelf-Compassion for CaregiversExercise: Giving and receiving compassion with equanimityWorking with difficult emotionsExercise: Soften, soothe, allowSelf-appreciationExercise: Appreciating what’s good about ourselvesOther Formats Available:Audio CD  ●  Buy It (Download)  ●  Rent It (Streaming)**************************************4) Visual Processing Therapy: Helping Individuals with Sensory Processing Disorders, ADHD, Autism, Dyslexia & Acquired Brain Injuryhttps://www.pesi.com/store/detail/6909/visual-processing-the…This course is oriented toward therapists and professionals seeking a greater understanding of the role of vision beyond eyesight for helping their clients.

It’s time to move forward!Watch this seminar recording and learn how to differentiate visual efficiency from visual processing, and how to screen effectively to help identify visual problems. You’ll also learn how to collaborate with developmental optometrists and how developing visual abilities can provide a better platform for overall sensory processing and integration.Sample procedures will be given in an interactive workshop format that will enable you to help a wide variety of patients having difficulty with visual processing.

They look to you to create an understanding, provide an accurate diagnosis, and layout an effective treatment approach; however, you find that you can’t without understanding and addressing their “why”. The science is clear and overwhelming about the lasting effects of adverse childhood experiences, developmental trauma, and attachment wounds. In this video, you will learn key insights regarding the neuroscience of addiction from the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) Study, one of the largest investigations of childhood abuse and neglect, and the impact on later-life health and well-being. You will understand the important assessment and treatment implications from neuroscience that show us addiction is experience dependent, not substance dependent. You will learn treatment recommendations from the leading experts in trauma and addictions treatment including:Bessel A van der Kolk, MD, New York Times best-selling author and the world’s leading expert on psychological traumaVincent Felitti, MD, co-principal investigator of the ACE StudyLouis John Cozolino, PhDLance Dodes, MDLisa Ferentz, LCSW-C, DAPAJim Hopper, PhDGabor Maté, MDLane Pederson, PsyD, LP, DBTCMary Lou Schack, PhDFusing research and theory about attachment and complex developmental trauma, these experts provide invaluable insight that simply must inform our therapy, including:The therapeutic alliance, along with all its inherent challenges with boundaries and clinical enactmentsThe use of contemplative practices for changing the brainTeaching skills for self-regulationEvidence-based modalities for both stabilization and processing traumatic materialThese experts help illustrate how your clients do not get over or grow out of childhood trauma. These painful experiences, when left unrecognized or untreated, continue to impact us throughout our lifetime; however, with this new insight you can finally say to your client: Your behavior absolutely makes sense and here’s what neuroscience and the ACE Study tells us about the association between your experiences as a child and your struggles as an adult.

The Pyramid of Potential approach starts the remediation with building blocks of mind and body health from the nutrition and psychology disciplines. This is followed by neurodevelopment (primitive reflex integration) and sensory-motor development from occupational therapy, physical therapy and vision therapy disciplines. Finally, cognitive skills training, such as memory, attention, and processing speed, come from education.This program combines lecture and notes with discussion and hands-on exercises to facilitate every learning style.DetailsobjectivesOutlineAuthorCE CreditsAudienceOutlineIntroductionDyslexia, Dysgraphia and Dyscalculia definitionsCommon causes, similar approachesThe Pyramid of Potential – brain developmentMind and Body HealthNutritional needs for healthy brain functionRole of exercise and sleepStress: physical and emotionalBrain Development and the Primitive ReflexesHow to test and integrate the reflexes – video and practiceMoro and DyscalculiaPalmar – DysgraphiaTonic Labyrinthine – Dyslexia, Dyscalculia, and DysgraphiaSpinal Galant – DyslexiaAsymmetrical Tonic Neck Reflex – Dyslexia and DysgraphiaSymmetrical Tonic Neck Reflex – Dyslexia, Dyscalculia, and DysgraphiaSensory Development – Auditory Processing DisorderDiagnosisListening therapyListening devicesSensory Development – VisionScreening for tracking and convergenceSimple eye exercisesIrlen Syndrome – colored overlaysVision therapyCognitive DevelopmentSkills: Phonemic awareness, memory, processing speed, attention, logic and moreHands-on activitiesPrograms or create your own programCreate a sample plan of intervention for LD studentsReviewBrainstorm: 10+ strategies for improving test scoresDownloading:Donors-ImmediateOthers: As per elib rulesThnx to all who made this happenThnx to NeilStrauss for donating 1 video
