Behind the scenes
The neuroscience of experiential psychotherapy

Welcome to the first virtual annual conference, hosted by the Flemish Organisation of Client-centered Experiential Psychotherapy and Counseling.
 

Why does this topic matter? 

The fact that experiential psychotherapy works, is something we witness everyday with our clients. But how? And what specifically makes it effective? 

Which specific pathways are involved with emotional processing? What takes place in our bodily system when we focus, for example? What is so “magical” about the experiential encounter? 

A combination of national and international speakers take us behind the scenes. On this first online edition of Junidag they will lean on findings in neuroscientific research and will combine this with the clinical practice in an effort to try and find some answers to the questions posed above. 

English subtitles will be available for the two speakers that present in Dutch. You will have the opportunity to interact in English with all speakers.
