Neurobiology and Treatment Considerations in Bipolar Disorder Bipolar
Disorder is associated with considerable morbidity, which necessitates a
creative approach in order to address a very unique set of challenges.
Functional recovery can often lag behind symptomatic and syndromal
recovery. Recurrent Bipolar episodes may lead to progressive
deterioration in functioning and the number of episodes may affect
subsequent treatment response and prognosis. While mood stabilizers seem
to “nudge” the “symphony” of genes linked to bipolar disorder in a
direction that aligns more with the normal expression pattern; a
holistic approach including mindfulness meditation, comprehensive
nutrition and supplementation, along with state of the art
neuromodulation therapies, is necessary for patients to experience a
robust wellness. Objectives: Participants will understand: 1. Neurophysiology as it relates to Bipolar Disorder 2. Bipolar disorder and its associated challenges with regard to treatment management 3. The elegance and sophistication of Neuromodulation Technology and Mindfulness-based interventions. 4. How to design treatment regimens that facilitate not only symptom management but build resilience in thriving vital patients.

Emotional Transformation Therapy: The Blending of Art and Science Lolita M. Domingue, M.S., LMFT
ETT
was developed by Steven R. Vazquez, Ph.D. over the course of over 20
years of research on the visual ecology of the client. ETT intervenes
using light and color to reduce the length of time which traditional
methods demand. The presenter will show how the interpersonal
relationship between client and therapist is integrally intertwined with
attachment theory and will discuss accurate attunement with adult
attachment presentations to create an effective therapeutic alignment to
set the stage for accurate attunement with ETT. A discussion
of the triadic relationship between client, light, and the therapist as
co-therapist with the light can significantly reduce or eliminate
distress associated with relational problems, poor self-esteem, trauma
and its resulting symptoms, addiction issues, anxiety, depression, and
more. This work adds a dimension of depth and emotional access for
clients that could only have been dreamed of in the past.
Learning Objectives:
- to lay the foundation of Emotional Transformation Therapy
- to outline the history of the development of the methodology and interventions associated with the therapy
- to
teach the tenets of the therapy and how this neural intervention
provides regulation of dysfunctional attachment styles using light and
color
- to introduce the 4 ETT tools
- to provide case examples of the outcomes which can be expected
- to provide an experiential demonstration of the methods of ETT using one of the ETT tools
Participants:
- gained knowledge of the development of ETT and its tenets.
- gained an understanding of the latest research in attachment theory and its implications for brain and relational functioning.
- were able to define how ETT uses light and color and visual brain stimulation to reduce distress with effective brief therapy.
- understood
how one’s relationship with light affects attachment patterns and how a
shift in one’s relationship to the light can result in improved emotion
regulation.
