How we position people in our relational systems within the brain determines the way we respond to them. Understanding this will inform the way we adapt DDP interventions for the unique child and family we are working with. Within this masterclass we will explore the concept of Location and Re-location of people in our brains as a brain-informed model of shifting from an ""un PACEful"" state of mind towards another person into a ""PACEful, compassionate"" state of mind. Jon will explain what this means in terms of brain networks and ""interstate travel"" and will discuss several ways for therapists and parents and other adults to practice making this core shift in how we hold one another in our brains and minds Dan will deepen our understanding of PACE (an attitude of playfulness, acceptance, curiosity and empathy) in relation to the contextual aspects of DDP interventions. With this way of being, PACE invites the marginalized experiences of the children and families we support in our therapy sessions into our experience. We create a place where we can influence each other intersubjectively as we get a deeper understanding of the other. The context the other brings to the interventions is an important part of informing the way that DDP interventions will be adapted for the child and family’s unique needs. Kim will reflect on some of the specific ways DDP interventions can be adapted for and learn from different cultures.
