Neuroscience, Psychotherapy, and Attachment-Informed EMDR (ai-EMDR): An Online Exploration - What do journalism, neuroscience and psychotherapy have in common? Date: 15 November 2025 Time: 8:00 – 10:00 am AEST Having lived all three, Mark Brayne suggests that attachment-informed EMDR offers a game-changing answer. On November 15th you’re invited to join BBC Foreign Correspondent-turnedEMDR therapist Mark Brayne for a two-hour webinar exploring the living interface between brain science and psychotherapy — and how attachment-informed EMDR (aiEMDR) might open new doors in the work of emotional healing. EMDR is well established as a treatment for trauma. But what happens when we view it through the lens of applied neuroscience and attachment theory? How do past survival strategies, the nervous system’s ways of managing safety, and, speaking with Carl Jung, mankind’s collective unconscious — those cross-cultural patterns in dreams and symbol — show up in the therapy room, and how might they be reshaped in the present moment? Mark brings both stories and slides, but rather than a formal lecture, the session will be a space of live exploration, using examples that emerge in dialogue and considering how symbolic processes, embodied memory, and relational presence can shift the nervous system’s deepest patterns. If you’re curious about where neuroscience and psychotherapy truly meet in practice — and what this could mean for both research and clinical work — join us for what promises to be a warm, thoughtful, and possibly game-changing conversation.

Your autonomic nervous system is a network of nerves throughout your body that control unconscious processes. These are things that happen without you thinking about them, such as breathing and your heart beating. But what happens when it becomes dysregulated and how can you take charge of it?
