Rethinking Challenging Behaviors in Kids and Teens with the Nervous System in Mind


In this presentation, Dr. Bryson uses an interpersonal neurobiology lens to help us rethink diagnoses, assumptions, behavioral interventions, and outdated science when it comes to big, challenging behaviors.  

Touching on the science of attachment, stress regulation, states of nervous system arousal, neuroplasticity, development, and the changing brain, Tina will present in a way that’s clear, interesting, and immediately practical.  

The goal of this presentation is to help us better understand what children’s behaviors are communicating, and how as a therapist you can respond to those behaviors in effective ways that build the brain, with relationship and regulation in mind, in order to set them up for successful change. This talk will largely focus on a clinical application of her book No-Drama Discipline (co-authored with Dan Siegel), combined with her clinical and educational experiences.  

At the end of the presentation, clinicians will have a new framework for understanding and evolving their own work, along with several specific strategies they can learn to help kids move from reactivity to resilience.
