Triple Trouble: Exploring the Neurobiology of Childhood Trauma
Do you understand that early adversity shapes the developing brain, but want to know more about exactly how?
Do you sometimes feel helpless dealing with kids who are so defensive they won’t let you help them?
Have you experienced “blocked care” with clients and want better ways of dealing with it?
Even the most experienced therapist can be overwhelmed by dealing with children who have experienced trauma. Emerging insights into how trauma marks the child’s developing brain offer fresh hope in treating the effects of trauma. International expert Dr. Jonathan Baylin will guide you through information from neuroscience 2.0 towards new therapeutic approaches to help traumatized children recover their sense of safety, self worth, and hope.

Reintegrating the Traumatized Self: Insights from the Frontiers of Neuroscience
Early life adversity and trauma have a significant effect on the developing brain. For the past 25 years, Dr. Jonathan Baylin has been studying the neuroscience of developmental trauma while continuing his clinical work with traumatized children and their families. In this webinar he will present his current model for understanding the multiple impacts of early life adversity on a child’s development and his integrative approach to treatment and recovery.
Triple Trouble
What Dr. Baylin calls “triple trouble” is the effect on the child of damage to core brain networks. “Triple trouble” refers to a child’s loss of a sense of safety, fragmentation of sense of self, and suppression of a sense of hope for the future.
Dr. Baylin will explain how each of these arises from traumatic damage to developmental processes. He will then shift focus to exploring ways to approach treatment by combining interventions that promote recovery and healing in the child’s brain. These include relational processes like social buffering, neuromodulation processes such as low energy neurofeedback, and memory reconsolidation processes that can help to strengthen the “self” system in the brain. Integration of these processes can foster the recovery of a sense of safety, self worth, and hope in children with histories of developmental trauma.
Facilitator
Jonathan Baylin Ph.D. received his doctorate in clinical psychology from Peabody College of Vanderbilt University in 1981. He has been working in the mental health field for 50 years. For the past 25 of these he has immersed himself in the study of neurobiology and in teaching practitioners and educators about the brain. Dr. Baylin regularly collaborates with Daniel Hughes, the developer of Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy, and together they have co-authored Brain-based Parenting: How Neuroscience Can Foster Healthier Relationships with Kids (now preparing a new edition) and The Neurobiology of Attachment-focused Therapy. Dr. Baylin has presented at many international conferences and conducted many workshops for mental health professionals on “Putting the Brain in Therapy.”
