Dr Dan Siegel is currently a clinical professor of psychiatry at the UCLA School of Medicine where he is on the faculty of the Center for Culture, Brain and Development and the Co-director of the Mindful Awareness Research Center. He is also the Executive Director of the Mindsight Institute, an educational organisation that focuses on how the development of Mindsight in individuals, families and communities can be enhanced by examining the interface of human relationships and basic biological processes. Dr. Siegel has published extensively.

OVERVIEW:
This seminar is a unique opportunity to hear first hand from one of the world’s leading authorities on trauma, attachment disruption and neurobiology. It will focus on understanding and interpreting up to date neuroscience research about the impact of stress and trauma on bodily based processes. The seminar will provide practical applications about ways to harness the power of neuroplasticity to transform the connections in the brain toward integration.
