In this session, Julie and Ginger invite Dr. Jon Baylin into the studio.   Dr. Baylin received his doctorate in clinical psychology from Peabody College of Vanderbilt University in 1981 and he has been working in the mental health field for 35 years.   He has immersed himself in the study of neuroscience and in teaching mental health practitioners about the brain. Dr. Baylin delivers keynote addresses nationally and internationally. He collaborates with Dr. Daniel Hughes and their first book, Brain Based Parenting, was released in 2012. In 2016, their second book, The Neurobiology of Attachment-Focused Therapy was released.
Today, Julie, Ginger and Dr. Baylin are talking about the “Power of the Pause”.  Dr. Baylin says a child’s brain, especially one that has experience childhood trauma, is all about getting a very quick reaction to things, but sometimes that fast reaction is not the best. By teaching the children the power of the pause, we can help them gain self-control and feel empowerment.  The pause helps all of us move beyond only using our amygdala and using the higher
portion of our brain.   Dr. Baylin says, “We can upshift our brains by pausing.”
Listen in to learn more about this concept and how it truly is based in relationship.
