The Way of Wisdom: Flourishing in a Troubled World: 6-Hr. CE Workshop

Description:

It is no secret that in the West, rates of mental health complaints have geometrically increased in the last ten years. Clinicians can often feel overwhelmed with the volume of work before them, and the urgency with which patients’ need to be met. It is to this need of clinician and patient alike that the field of interpersonal neurobiology, understood in the context of anthropology, speaks with compassion and efficacy as we seek to be those who offer hope and healing to those who come through our doors. This workshop will explore the significance of anthropology and the fundamental elements of interpersonal neurobiology as they intersect with spiritual practices that will enhance the attendees’ capacity to provide care for their patients.

Onsite workshop materials, continental breakfast, catered lunch, and snacks provided.

ABOUT THE PRESENTER

CURT THOMPSON, MD

Psychiatrist, Speaker, and Author

Psychiatrist Curt Thompson, MD brings together a dialect of interpersonal neurobiology (IPNB) and a Christian anthropology to educate and encourage others as they seek to fulfill their intrinsic desire to feel known, valued and connected. Curt understands that deep, authentic relationships are essential to experiencing a healthier, more purposeful life — but the only way to realize this is to begin telling our stories more truly.

His unique insights about how the brain affects and processes relationships help people discover a fresh perspective and practical applications to foster healthy and vibrant lives, allowing them to get unstuck and move toward the next beautiful thing they’re being called to make.

Through his workshops, speaking engagements, books, organizational consulting, private clinical practice and other platforms, Thompson helps people process their longings, grief, identity, purpose, perspective of God and perspective of humanity, inviting them to engage more authentically with their own stories and their relationships. Only then can they feel truly known and connected and live into the meaningful reality they desire to create.
