How Therapy Can Change Your Life - Dr Louis Cozolino The Weekend University
-
- Society & Culture
Dr Lou Cozolino - a clinical psychologist, author, and professor based in Beverly Hills, California. He received his Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from UCLA and an M.T.S. from Harvard University. He has been a Professor at Pepperdine since 1986 and lectures around the world on psychotherapy, neuroscience, trauma, and attachment. The work that I do for The Weekend University means I get to explore a wide range of topics, teachers, and practitioners who are at the forefront of the field of psychology. Every so often, I feel like I’ve “struck gold” after discovering someone and I would certainly put Dr Cozolino’s work into this category.
In this interview, you’ll learn:
— Dr Cozolino’s experience of being taught by Carl Rogers and what he learned from him
— The 4 common factors that underlie all effective forms of psychotherapy
— The importance of focusing on principles rather than techniques when educating yourself as a therapist
— Why human beings need psychotherapy
— The vital ‘half second’ and how this impacts every aspect of our experience
— The impact of early experiences on our development
— Core shame and why we experience it
— Neuroplasticity and why therapists should think of themselves as applied neuroscientists
— 3 books that Lou recommends every therapist should read
And more.
