Rhythms of Recovery: Trauma Nature and the Body
Presented by Leslie Korn, PhD on 06-07-2013 at 9 a.m. Pacific to 10:30 a.m. Pacific (1:30 p.m. Eastern)
This presentation provides an overview of the psychobiological rhythms affected by traumatic exposure including circadian rhythm and ultradian rhythms, both of which affect depression, anxiety, and sleeping disorders associated with PTSD. This presentation will also explore an overview of the state of non-pharmaceutical treatment methods that complement psychotherapies including nutritional and botanical therapies, bodywork therapies, and animal-assisted therapies. This overview bridges the art and science of natural medicine and functional medicine for the practitioner and provides a basis for advising people with PTSD, further study, and collaboration with other professionals.
This web conference is beginning instructional level and designed to help clinicians:
- Identify circadian rhythm effects on depression and sleep;
- Identify ultradian rhythm effects on stress;
- Explore therapeutic interventions that balance circadian and ultradian rhythm;
- Discuss at least four Complementary Alternative Medicine approaches for implementation or referral purposes.
