b'IN THIS EPISODE:\\nThe Neuroscience Of Psychotherapy: An Interview With Louis Cozolino\\nYou may also be interest to hear an updated interview with Lou Cozolino Neurofluency\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\nShow Notes\\nPatty Olwell and Louis Cozolino have a wide-ranging discussion of interpersonal neurobiology and how it explains why good therapy works. They also use this lens to talk about why good teachers are effective. Finally, they touch on Cozolino\\u2019s current work around executive function and it\\u2019s importance in being a good manager.\\nWhy Psychotherapy Works\\nCozolino discusses how\\xa0he views psychotherapy as a learning context where the therapist is trying to stimulate learning and change in the client. Neuroscience focuses on brain plasticity and what stimulates learning and change in the brain. As he studied both these interests he was struck by the realization that \\u201cpsychotherapy had been guided by the invisible hand of neroplastic principles from the beginning\\u201d.These are just two different lenses to look at the same process.\\nCommon Factors\\nHe outlined four common factors that are necessary to foster neuroplasticity and effective therapy.\\n\\n* Establishing a safe relationship \\u2013 learning and change can only take place in safety.\\n* Mild to moderate stress \\u2013 some stress fosters plasticity but beyond a certain threshold the brain systems that control change and learning shut down.\\n* Activation of thinking and feeling \\u2013 you can\\u2019t think your way through therapy nor can you feel your way through therapy. He posits that integrating neural systems that are dedicated to the left side (biased toward cognition) and right side (biased toward emotion) of the brain is underlying the effectiveness of psychotherapy.\\n* Creating a new adaptive personal story \\u2013 effective therapy creates a story that includes an explaination of what went wrong and an explanation of what you have to do to correct it and move toward health. Cozolino\\xa0says the stories contain a memory for the future.\\n\\n\\n\\xa0\\nRESOURCES:\\nAdditional resources for this episode:\\n\\n* Louis Cozolino:The Neuroscience of Psychotherapy: Healing the Social Brain (Third Edition)\\xa0(Norton Series on Interpersonal Neurobiology)\\xa02017\\nLouis Cozolino: The Neuroscience of Human Relationships: Attachment and the Developing Social Brain (Second Edition) (Norton Series on Interpersonal Neurobiology)\\xa02014\\nLouis Cozolino:\\xa0Attachment-Based Teaching: Creating a Tribal Classroom (The Norton Series on the Social Neuroscience of Education)\\xa02014\\nLouis Cozolino: Why Therapy Works: Using Our Minds to Change Our Brains (Norton Series on Interpersonal Neurobiology)\\xa02015\\nLouis Cozolino:\\xa0The Social Neuroscience of Education: Optimizing Attachment and Learning in the Classroom (The Norton Series on the Social Neuroscience of Education)\\xa02013\\nThese and other resources have been collected for you on our Resources page!\\n\\n\\xa0\\n\\nTweet'
