Talk Description
Dr. Baylin will be presenting his “Triple Trouble” brain-based model of developmental trauma describing the effect on the child of damage to core brain networks. “Triple trouble” refers to a child’s loss of a sense of safety, fragmentation of sense of self, and suppression of a sense of hope for the future.
In this keynote, Dr. Baylin will explain how each of these arises from traumatic damage to developmental processes. He will then shift focus to exploring ways to approach treatment by combining interventions that promote recovery and healing in the child’s brain. These include relational processes like social buffering, neuromodulation processes such as low energy neurofeedback, and memory reconsolidation processes that can help to strengthen the “self” system in the brain. Integration of these processes can foster the recovery of a sense of safety, self worth, and hope in children with histories of developmental trauma.
