About the Course
How does our psychological wellbeing affect our physical health? How are the body and mind connected? More importantly can we improve our health with positive thoughts? This CPD shows how our psychological, neural (brain) and immune processes interact to shape our health and behaviour.
Where the medical system looks to find the link between pathogen and disease, many of us are looking to understand better how our mood, our psychological health and well-being impact on our physical health. The study of psychoneuroimmunology (PNI) evaluates the link between our psychological health and our physical health through the impact of each on our immune system and as such, allows us to approach physical health from a different perspective. Thereby, finding solutions in psychological therapies where the biomedical model of health finds itself challenged.
This module will help you to understand:
- What we mean by psychoneuroimmunology (PNI)
- The pathways of PNI in immune system regulation
- The importance of the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal Axis in health and ill-health
- How SFH is perfectly situated to improve both our psychological health and our physical well-being
We will see how sleep is important for us via the PNI pathway, and look at how PNI can help us understand how stress influences skin conditions and the development of mental disorders. We will finish with a review of how our work as SFHs provides us with an exceptional grounding for developing psychoneuroimmunology-based health interventions.
The importance of understanding Psychoneuroimmunology is why this CPD is also an integral part of the Advanced Hypnotherapy Diploma course (AHD).
