How Interpersonal Neurobiology (IPNB) and Mindfulness Inform Best Practices for Health Professionals

Mari Alexander is a psychotherapist, LMFT, Physcian's Assistant in Primary Care, and intercultural trainer. She uses IPNB in every day in her practice and personal life. 

She says the study of IPNB rebuked many of the things she learned in medical school, including the antiquated idea that brain is fully formed at 25. She says the study of IPNB represents the coming together of ideas she's studied for years - ideas of presence, empathy and resonance - and learning how neuroplasticity allows for improved behaviors and buffers against triggers.

PCC IHP's IPNB 6-month program is the only one offered in the Portland-metro region. Learn more about Mari Alexander's professional and personal revelations that came from studying Interpersonal Neurobiology and Mindfulness:

Interpersonal Neurobiology (IPNB) is a theory and practical working model which explores human development, attachment and functioning as being a product of the relationship between the body, mind and relationships. Also called relational neuroscience, IPNB describes how the brain and mind are shaped, or developed, and how they function based on the interplay of genes and neurophysiology in the context of relationships.
