We will examine the research and clinical underpinnings of a science of health and vitality, focusing on people with medical evidence for unexpected recovery from medical illnesses that are traditionally considered incurable. The role of psychology as it relates to a science of health and vitality will be discussed, as well as issues related to the democratization of medicine and psychology. At the end, we will explore the strengths and limitations of a biopsychosocial methodology using biomedical markers.
Have your clients ever wondered “what just happened?" when a conversation with a loved one deteriorated? This workshop will demystify these types of interactions, allowing you to help them identify triggers and use energy psychology methods to re-program the brain.
Change Your Genes, Change Your Life: Creating Optimal Health with the New Science of Epigenetics (1.5 CE hrs)**
Our DNA is not our destiny! In fact, with rare exception, our health is almost completely reliant upon lifestyle choices, including what we eat, how we handle stress, the strength of our relationships, and the toxicity of our environment. Through epigenetics, we now know that it is how our individual genes respond to these factors that creates a unique internal biochemistry that literally turns genes on or
off. Assessing and managing this biochemical environment has opened the door to “personalized medicine” and will become the standard reference for guiding specific lifestyle changes that will optimize our health and longevity.
This session will introduce cranial electrotherapy stimulation (CES) as a primary anxiolytic, antidepressive and insomnia treatment, as well as a treatment for centrally mediated aspects of pain through treatment of the brain.
There is no CE for this presentation. This presentation is being offered Alpha Stim that is the sponsor of this Live Stream

The Western world is experiencing increasing strife around social differences. Diversity and inclusion education suffers from a limited understanding of how to heal stress and trauma. Energy psychology suffers from narrow demographics and cultural assumptions.
A real conversation about diversity issues often brings up unregulated affect for each party. We need to acknowledge these issues before having the conversation. Integrating energy psychology with a “Name it to tame it” strategy can open the door to hard conversations that are generative and productive. This session will begin a conversation on how to heal the traumas we all have around these issues.
