Describe the importance of cultivating nonjudgmental presence as a foundation of safety.*

Describe the three branches of the autonomic nervous system, according to Stephen Porges.*

Explain the meaning of neuroception and how it differs from perception.*

List four features each of the right and left hemispheres of the brain, according to Iain McGilchrist.*

Describe the brainstem’s role in regulating the rhythms of the embodied brain.*

List the seven social-emotional circuits of the midbrain identified by Jaak Panksepp.*

Discuss the midbrain circuits that come online when we experience disconnection from others.*

List three ways that experiential methods such as sand tray and non-dominant hand drawing can help our clients heal implicit memory and early traumatic experiences.*

Describe how implicit memories are formed.*

Discuss the components of implicit memory and how we can identify them in our clients.*

List the two essential components of disconfirming experiences.*

Describe the impact of traumatic experiences on the development of the various aspects of memory.*

Describe the neurobiological correlates of avoidant attachment.*

Describe the neurobiological correlates of ambivalent attachment.*

Discuss the neurobiological correlates of disorganized attachment.*

Discuss the role of rupture and repair in the establishment of secure attachment.*

Describe the kind of in utero experiences that can generate the foundation for pockets of disorganization.*

Discuss the kinds of autonomic nervous system activation we might experience when our clients drop into pockets of disorganization.*

Describe the neurobiology of our presence in ventral vagal parasympathetic providing the foundation for organizing disorganized attachment.*

Discuss how we can determine if we are within the joined window of tolerance when experiences of disorganization arise in our clients.*

Describe the kinds of disconfirming experiences that will help our clients with ambivalent attachment move toward earned secure attachment.*

Describe the kinds of disconfirming experiences that will help our clients with avoidant attachment move toward earned secure attachment.*

Describe three characteristics of earned secure attachment.*

Discuss the ways that our own attachment status may impact our work with our clients.*

Describe the role of mirror neurons and resonance circuitry in the development of the inner community.*

Describe the neurobiology of the layering in the inner community.*

Describe the adaptive nature of protectors both at the time of their development and now.*

Demonstrate how to approach and befriend protectors.*

Discuss the development of particular protectors in response to embedded traumatic experiences, including both interpersonal and genetic factors.*

List three kinds of protectors that may develop for each of the three insecure attachment patterns.*

Demonstrate how to talk with clients about inner community.*

Demonstrate skill in speaking with clients about internalized others.*

Describe the processes through which inner community members can experience implicit healing.*

Discuss the value of practicing the gradual development of radical inclusion of all parts and how this fosters safety in our clients.*

Demonstrate skill in supporting clients in the practices of sand tray and non-dominant hand drawing with regard to inner community members.*

Describe the relationship of attachment experiences to the development of inner community.*

Demonstrate the ability to articulate for clients the way that both members of unresolved inner pairs can heal.*

Discuss, with reference to a particular client, how your inner community members can be activated.*

Describe one experience of offering disconfirming experiences to both members of an inner dyad.*

Describe the relationship between changes in implicit memory and explicit story.*

Describe how metaphors reveal which hemisphere of our brain is dominant.*

Describe possible changes in the belly brain, heart brain, autonomic nervous system, brainstem, and midbrain as a result of gradually emerging narrative change.*

Describe the changes you are seeing over time in this regard with one client.*

List the aspects of the embodied brain that we have studied.*

Describe the neurobiological and interpersonal characteristics of the four attachment patterns.*

Discuss the neurobiology of the formation of embedded traumas, and the process of changing implicit memory through disconfirming experiences.*

Describe the neurobiology of the development of the inner community, and process for healing both members of a dyad.*

Discuss how this year’s learning is becoming a narrative that supports nonjudgmental awareness and increased compassion for our clients.*
