Insight International is pleased to present an upcoming professional development opportunity: Introduction to Insight Focused Neurotherapy (IFnT).
This highly anticipated two-day course invites psychologists, counsellors, and helping practitioners to elevate their therapeutic practice through a pioneering, integrative approach grounded in contemporary neuroscience and psychological research.
Developed by Pauline Skeates, IFnT brings together systems theory, neuroscience, complexity theory, neuropsychoimmunology, somatic therapy, and quantum-informed psychology, alongside established frameworks such as Attachment Theory, Polyvagal Theory, Developmental Psychology, and Coherence Theory.
Designed as a stand-alone introduction, this course moves beyond traditional talk therapy to explore how meaningful and sustainable change emerges through insight-led, brain-based processes. Participants will gain both a conceptual understanding of IFnT and practical tools to enhance their clinical work and personal development.
Across the two days, you will explore:
- The neuroscience of brain and behaviour
- Mindfulness, awareness, focused attention, and intention
- Polyvagal Theory, the vagus nerve, and attachment dynamics
- Nervous system regulation and somatic experiencing
- Epigenetics and complex adaptive systems
- Clean Language and pathways to change
- Reducing fear responses and softening defensive patterns
- Practical application and integration of the IFnT model
The course is delivered through a dynamic blend of seminar-style teaching, experiential exercises, group interaction, and live demonstrations, supporting both learning and integration.
