Recognizing and Addressing the Emotional Roots of Behaviour Problems: A Working Model for an Array of Troubling Symptoms

PRESENTED BY Gordon Neufeld, Ph.D.

Are there really 298 different disorders plus countless other syndromes of problem behaviour? Could it be that we have been missing something more fundamental about how the brain works and thus what can go wrong? Could there possibly be a common denominator across the spectrum of troubled experience and behaviour? Dr. Neufeld insists that there now are enough puzzle pieces to reveal not only the emotional roots of our troubled experience and problem behavior, but even the particular emotions giving us the most trouble in today’s society. Using the lens of development, he also helps us understand how these problems first develop in childhood and what they look like at their beginnings. In distilling these dynamics to their essence, he also opens the doors to reversing these problems in both childhood and adulthood.   

  • Understand the emotional roots of anxiety, aggression, suicide, restlessness, boredom, bullying, impulsiveness, self-harm, immaturity, addiction and more
  • Make sense of the nature and purpose of emotion
  • Understand what emotions require to be fully functional
  • Discover the importance of differentiating between emotion and feeling
  • Be able to read the first signs of emotional trouble
  • Gain confidence in addressing a wide spectrum of emotionally-rooted problems
