Join us for an exploration of a groundbreaking, synthesized model of mental health that moves beyond traditional diagnostic frameworks like the DSM. This workshop delves into the latest insights from neuroscience, systems theory, and psychotherapy research to present a dynamic, integrated understanding of the human mind and body.

Key topics include:

  • Why the field is moving away from DSM-based classifications

  • The Systems-Complexity approach and feedback loops within and between physiological systems

  • The central role of biological energy in mental function

  • How psychotherapy research is reshaping clinical understanding

  • Epigenetics and its impact on mental health through the immune system

  • Mapping the mental operating networks and understanding allostasis vs. allostatic load

  • How memory dysregulation contributes to mental health challenges

  • Navigating the neurodynamics of PTSD

  • The crucial role of lifestyle in sustaining psychological resilience


This webinar introduces the week long seminar in Canmore in mid July.  It presents the sea change occurring in the treatment of trauma, anxiety, and depression.  It synthesizes the substantial literature on metabolism, psychoneuroimmunology and epigenetics. We combine these discoveries with the neuroscience of psychotherapeutic approaches to offer an integrated vision of psychotherapy.
