CLINICAL RELAXATION THERAPY COURSE (Module 6): RESEARCH PNI & MOOD DISORDERS- Art & Science of DDB and GI

---

Leading PNI research identifies communications between autonomic nervous system, hormones and immune function. The role of inflammation in chronic conditions is increasingly understood, as are their clinical implications. Relaxation techniques that reduce effects of stress can influence cognitive, emotional and immune responses. Clinical applications of relaxation techniques such as DDB and GI are important, evidence-based treatment options for health professionals to learn.

Learning objectives

1. understand more PNI research in chronic conditions and relaxation therapy
2. gain more experience and proficiency in practicing DDB and GI
3. gain more experience and proficiency in teaching DDB and GI
4. develop greater clinical skills in DDB and GI

Session Outline

This session will:

• review principles to practice DDB and GI
• review principles to teach DDB and GI
• offer experience for greater clinical skills in GI
