What a Therapist Says About The Myth of Self-Regulation

Many therapists aim for the goal of “self-regulation” in their clients—the ability to be emotionally self-reliant without the continued support of others. But according to trauma expert Dr. Bonnie Badenoch, our neurobiology is deeply wired for human connection and co-regulation.

So, what to make of this paradox? Is the goal of “self-regulation” simply wrong?

Not necessarily. We just need to look beyond our usual tools and techniques to a new way of seeing the problem. In her free video learning session, “The Myth of Self-Regulation,” Bonnie explains.

Discover what every therapist (and human) needs to know about themselves in this free video teaching with Bonnie Badenoch – The Myth of Self-Regulation.

Join her to explore:

• How our left-brain-dominant world focuses on tasks and facts, to the neglect of our right-brain focus on human connection and care
• What relational neuroscience reveals about our deep biological need for relationships
• Why our goal of giving clients tools and techniques for emotional self-reliance when isolated often fails
• How to help others build an “inner community” to soothe and strengthen them
• Supporting insights from research in resonance circuitry and mirror neurons, attachment theory, the polyvagal model, and more
