Connecting the Cell and the Self: How Biography Becomes Biology and How to Heal
Dr. Paul Epstein
October 28 - 30, 2016 | NUHS Campus - Lombard, IL
Disease tells a story, not just of our cells and our diagnosis (biology), but of our self and our life (Biography) as well. This course provides an exploration of the relationship between our biology and our biography and offers a methodology for integrating this knowledge into clinical practice. Biography is often the ‘untreated symptom’ in our treatment plan. It is also often the ‘missing piece’ in a patient’s healing puzzle. This course provides a theoretical framework to guide patient care, and practical Mind-Body Therapeutic Techniques and Therapies to address each component of a patient’s healing process.
-
Present a theoretical framework for practice that emphasizes the connection and relationship between the Cell (Biology) and the Self (Biography) in clinical care.
-
Define and explain the relationship between Stress and Illness.
-
Facilitate exploration of the connection between childhood trauma and chronic adult disease.
-
Provide detailed instruction in the following Mind-Body Therapies: (Mindfulness in Medicine; Clinical Guided Imagery; Narrative Medicine; Contemplative Medicine; Biographical Exploration; Internal Family Systems Theory/Therapy; Cultivating Healing Presence in the Therapeutic Relationship; Creating Professional Resilience and Preventing Burnout)
