This presentation explores the intricate relationship between Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) and neurobiology, highlighting how chronic trauma impacts the brain's structure and function. Additionally, it delves into the surprising connection between these neurobiological changes and the placebo effect, examining how the brain's response to expectation and belief can influence both healing and harm in survivors of IPV. By understanding these connections, we can gain deeper insights into potential therapeutic approaches and interventions that harness the brain's resilience in the face of trauma.
OBJECTIVES:
After the presentation the audience will be able to:
1) Recognize the patterns of IPV for survivors and perpetrator's
2) Identify how neurobiology and the placebo effect contributes to the success and failure of leaving these relationships
3) Recall the key principles to defining the placebo effect and its relationship to trauma
4) Demonstrate how individuals involved in IPV may begin to shift the paradigm of their circumstances through clinical psychological intervention
