• This is because partners are moving toward and away from one another in accordance of their internal working models, their anticipatory neurobiological systems, and their moment-to-moment experience of safety and or threat.
• These systems are extremely fast-acting and operate below ordinary cognition or knowing.
• In the absence of knowing, partners must confabulate in order to explain their behaviors and the consequences of behaviors.
• Attendees will learn how to work with this phenomena of “not knowing” from a psychobiological perspective and will learn so-called “bottom-up” interventions for bypassing ordinary cognitive mechanism that can distract and misdirect the therapy.
