Video recordings are available for this conference. The full conference is available for download or streaming. Each conference session is also available separately for download or streaming.

These videos are not professionally filmed or edited and are therefore priced very reasonably. The quality of the recordings is good enough to view and hear the speakers and their presentations but projected slides are often not clear enough to see. Clinical video portions are omitted for confidentiality. We as humans have a remarkable and ancient stress response that successfully guides our behavior in reaction to clear and present danger. However, to respond effectively to the ongoing temptations and the emotional threats that emerge out of the complexities of modern social life—such as chronic stress in family systems—requires self regulated behavior to override these instinctive and automatic reactions. Emotional and physical health, as well as educational, occupational and relationship success depend on self-regulation in daily life, and when planning for the future.
Family systems, psychology and physiology govern behavior in ways that can lead to failures of self regulation and the undermining of our aspirations. Understanding the interdependent systems that produce our automatic reactions to acute and chronic stress clarifies what it takes to be in charge of oneself. This knowledge guides clinical practice when the stress of events and chronic patterns calls for the individual and the group to “function up.” Program & ScheduleMorning
