His other books include Brain2Brain, The Brain Bible, as well as Rewire Your Brain, and Brain-Based Therapy with Adults and Brain-Based Therapy with Children and Adolescents. He is currently the Chief Academic Officer for the Institute of Behavioral Health, a division of the Institute of Brain Potential. Dr. Arden previously served as Director of Training in Mental Health for Kaiser Permanente in the Northern California region. He oversees the training programs in 24 medical centers where over 130 postdoctoral residents and interns are trained each year. He has presented workshops on brain-based therapy in over 30 countries and in all US States.
The seminar will examine how outcomes are enhanced by using brain-based therapy approaches with people who have been plagued by auto-stress disorders. Just as people with autoimmune disorders suffer from attacks on their bodies by their own immune system, people with anxiety suffer attacks by the stress system on their mind/brain/body. Their anxiety becomes an auto-stress disorder wherein their own stress system no longer protects them from danger but alerts them to danger when there is none. Clients with anxiety disorders are confused by the symptoms, as well as by different therapists they encounter who ascribe to the various brand-name therapies.
