About Cape Cod Institute Founded in 1980 by Gilbert Levin, Ph.D., the Cape Cod Institute is known worldwide for the excellence of the CE courses and seminars it offers for educators, mental health, behavioral, leadership, and management professionals, as well as members of other professions who apply behavior science in their practices. The Institute’s intensive CE courses, on a broad spectrum of topics in leadership and psychology, ranging from trauma to mindfulness, from anxiety to diversity, are taught by thought leaders in these fields and are attended by practitioners from throughout the world. The Cape Cod Institute was the first in its field to offer interactive education and in-person learning with master teachers, at a pace, and in a setting that fosters learning. In-person classes take place in the morning hours of a five-day week, leaving the remainder of the time free for study and leisure, and for networking with colleagues in a setting of striking natural beauty. MAK Continuing Education (MAK), LLC is excited to be restoring the program, following its closure in 2020, for years to come with the support of former faculty, friends of the Institute, and the Nauset Regional School System. MAK’s mission is to offer continuing education courses of the highest quality, taught by leading contributors to knowledge and practice in a learning context that fosters in-depth and lively interaction between learners and faculty.

with Disappointment, Difficulty, even Disaster
15-Hour In-Person Course
Monday - Friday: 9:00AM-12:30PM EDT/30-Min Break Daily at 10:30 am
Dealing effectively with challenges and crises is the core of resilience and
well-being. Helping clients develop flexible and adaptive strategies for coping
with everyday disappointments, existential dread, and extraordinary disasters is
the heart of the therapeutic process. Helping clients harness the brain’s processes
of change to rewire coping strategies that are defensive, dysfunctional, and
blocking of growth, and to encode new more flexible patterns of response, is
the focus of this workshop.

Course Agenda
Monday:
Basics of Neuroscience of Resilience
• Capacities of resilience innate in the brain; focus on response flexibility in
center of executive functioning
• Impact of attachment conditioning, including early developmental trauma,
on brain development and resilience
• Mechanisms of brain change to create new neural pathways, rewire old
traumatic memories, and access the “mental play space” of imagination and
visualization to connect the dots in new ways
• Executive functions of the pre-frontal cortex – the brain’s CEO of resilience
• Lifestyle choices that promote neurogenesis, accelerate brain change, and
prevent-reduce-reverse cognitive decline
Tuesday:
Somatic Intelligence
• Body-based tools to regulate the nervous system’s automatic survival respons-
es, and return the body-brain to the safety net of its natural physiological
equilibrium, its range of resilience.
• Application of polyvagal theory to generate a neuroception of safety, and
prime the brain’s plasticity-receptivity to learning

Friday:
Reflective Intelligence
• Practices of mindfulness – knowing what you’re experiencing while you’re experiencing it - that strengthen the brain’s

15-Hour Live-Online Course
Monday - Friday: 12:30PM-4:00PM EDT/30-Min Break Daily at 2:30 pm
Expressive arts therapy integrates the arts—movement, music/sound, drawing,
storytelling, improvisation, dramatic enactment, play, and creative writing
– within the practice of psychotherapy and counseling. It is a multi-modal
approach to trauma treatment that goes beyond what language and traditional
talk therapy can capture to access implicit, sensory-based experiences of trauma.
Although expressive arts can tap actual implicit and explicit memories of trauma,
recall through the arts also call forth and release pleasant and enlivening
memories. This takes us beyond the “window of tolerance” to expanding a “circle

15-Hour In-Person Course
Monday - Friday: 9:00AM-12:30PM EDT/30-Min Break Daily at 10:30 am
Early emotional learning contributes significantly to our sense of self and to
how we form attachments. Until recently, these early memories were thought
to be immutable. Current research and literature in the field of Memory Recon-
solidation (the reorganization of an existing memory), however, proposes that
the way an emotionally-laden memory is held in the brain can be reworked (or
reconsolidated). Since these emotionally informed learnings inform procedural,

Internal Family Systems Workshop
15 Hour In-Person & Live Online Course
Monday - Friday: 9:00AM-12:30PM EDT/30-Min Break Daily at 10:30 am
The Internal Family Systems Model is a method of therapy which fosters transfor-
mation, gently, quickly, and effectively. It views multiplicity of mind as our natural
state and our “parts” as sub personalities that may be healed and transformed
by bringing the Self into its rightful role as leader of the internal system. The
Self, a core of valuable leadership qualities, is our true nature–compassionate
and loving. Although IFS has been most widely used as a treatment for trauma,
it is a flexible model that provides abundant opportunities for application. IFS

through Attachment, Regulation and Competency
15 Hour In-Person & Live Online Course
Monday - Friday: 9:00AM-12:30PM EDT/30-Min Break Daily at 10:30 am
Chronic exposure to traumatic stress in childhood has been recognized as one
of the most prominent health risks of our time, with estimates that as many as
one in three children in the United States will be exposed to a potentially trau-
matic experience in their childhood. Although not every mental health provider
self-identifies as a “specialist” in treating traumatic stress, it is critical that every
provider working with children and families gain expertise in understanding
and intervening with this population. Childhood trauma exposure may impact
a wide range of developmental, relational, and regulatory capacities, and as a

Most people who seek psychiatric care have histories of trauma, chaos, or

how experience shapes the brain and the formation of the self. This evolving
science has had profound implications for our understanding of what constitutes
effective intervention. Sadly, most of the knowledge about how trauma affects
