Sebern Fisher
|
Sebern Fisher is a psychodynamic psychotherapist with a primary interest in the importance of secure attachment throughout the life span. She incorporated neurofeedback into her clinical practice in 1997.
Emerging theory in all schools of psychotherapy is focused on the importance of affect regulation. After more than ten years of work with neurofeedback, Sebern has come to believe that the single most important contribution of neurofeedback is regulation of affect, and further that the most important affect to regulate is fear. In pursuit of this, she discovered the site FPO2, “the gateway to the amygdala”, in 1999, and uses it specifically to quiet fear and reactivity.
Sebern was the Clinical Director of a residential treatment center for severely disturbed adolescents for twelve years, where she implemented the first milieu DBT program in the US. She has a private practice in Northampton, Massachusetts, working primarily with PTSD, personality disorders and attachment. She has published on neurofeedback in the Psychotherapy Networker and in the International Journal of Consultation and Behavior Therapy and has a chapter in the 2nd edition of An Introduction to Quantitative EEG and Neurofeedback. She speaks nationally and internationally on psychotherapy, attachment and neurofeedback and on trauma and recovery, and on integrating psychotherapy and neurofeedback.
