Why do some clients experience sudden ‘brain fog,' mood crashes, or sleep disruptions that don't seem to respond to traditional talk therapy?
In this counselor education presentation, we go beyond the surface to examine the HPG-Axis (Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Gonadal axis)—the biological engine behind hormone production and its direct impact on the brain.
In this session, we cover:
How gonadal hormones (like estrogen and testosterone) act as ‘neuromodulators' for serotonin and dopamine.
The biological reason behind ‘hormonal brain fog' and cognitive fatigue.
How the HPG-axis influences circadian rhythms and sleep-wake cycles.
Practical screening tools for counselors to identify when a client's mood may be biologically driven.
This presentation is designed for professional counselors, social workers, and therapists seeking evidence-based training in psychophysiology.
