We know due to advancements in neuroscience that facilitating change involves helping clients to move into different neurobiological states.
As therapists, we want our therapeutic interventions to impact the functioning of the brain in a positive way.
Richard Hill is a psychotherapist who began his career as a professional actor for 25 years, but returned to university at 45 to do a BA in linguistics and went on to complete three Masters degrees with a focus on neurobiology and neuroscience.
Richard is interested in how to apply developments in neuroscience into therapeutic practice and what techniques practitioners can utilise to help clients change.
In this podcast Richard shares:
- what is the Curiosity Approach
- how the Curiosity Approach can help with people affectively disordered
- how therapists turn their curiosity on and off
- what is his Winner/Loser World Theory
- how therapists can apply these concepts to therapeutic practice
- examples of techniques that practitioners can utilise
