• Through discussion and experiential activities, we’ll match healing experiences to disturbances in the brain’s core motivational systems (Avoid harm, Approach reward, Attach to “us”). Educational Objectives: Teach clients how to pair positive and negative experiences to soothe and replace the negative ones. Match key positive experiences to disturbances in the brain’s core motivational systems.
