Fall Cohort | Begins October 2026psychobiology™ Practitioner Training
WHERE THE MEASURABLE AND THE MEANINGFUL BELONG TOGETHER.Psychobiology™ is a practitioner training that integrates psychology with human physiology — demystifying and teaching you to read psychological patterns and biological processes as two registers of a single living system, and to work across both with rigour and in evidence, in clinical practice.
Curriculum50+ Modules of content, including:
01 — FOUNDATIONS
The Two-Register Framework: physiology and psyche as two registers of one living system, neither causing the other — and why this changes how you'll assess a client from session one
The Practitioner Formation Model: formation vs. information transfer: why this training builds you as an instrument, not just your knowledge base
Working with Patterns: patterns as raw material to transmute rather than symptoms to eliminate, and why this stance changes client outcomes
Where you'll be positioned to work once this section is complete: reading a client's presentation as one process, not two separate problems to refer out and understanding Psychobiology — what it is and where it comes from
02 — THE FUNDAMENTALS
Light and circadian rhythm — what circadian entrainment actually is, and how to recognize when a client's mood or anxiety symptoms trace back there
Sleep as more than rest — The relationship between sleep architecture and emotional regulation
Breath as container — a direct lever on the nervous system state, hormonal health, posture and function
Food and nutrition — how shapes mood and stress capacity at a foundational level
Movement as physiological regulation — how movement patterns show up as psychological material in session
Substrate through the 5 levers — the underlying capacity a body needs before any deeper intervention can hold, rather than as adjacent self-care or lifestyle advice
Circadian disruption as a clinical variable in trauma — recognizing when PTSD/CPTSD symptoms are partly a phase problem
By the end of this section: concrete, low-barrier interventions you can bring into practice immediately, before any advanced material (the fastest path from training to use with real clients)
03 — THE BODY & PHYSIOLOGY
Stress physiology grounded in the Selye lineage — how chronic stress actually reorganizes the body, not just the nervous system
Stress vs Eustress — the distinction between stress that builds capacity and stress that depletes it, and how to tell which one a client is in
Core biochemical systems: histamine and mast-cell activity, methylation pathways, GABA/glutamate balance, and how each shows up in a client's psychological presentation
HTMA (hair tissue mineral analysis) as a diagnostic tool — how to read mineral and metabolic data symbolically and as part of a client's story, not as an isolated lab report
Working with HTMA— moving a client toward repletion through the fundamentals, not through supplement protocols
Substrate Before Signal: a core part of Psychobiology™ and a practical framework for asking why a body can't regulate before jumping to what to eliminate or suppress
04 — THE INTERPRETIVE PRACTICE
How to hold physiological and psychological data in the same frame during a session — practical technique, not just theory
The practitioner's own physiology and shadow material as part of the clinical picture: how to notice when your own nervous system or unresolved material is shaping what you're seeing in a client
Working with Interpretive Terrains — reading the physiological and psychological material available in a session and in your own practice
Field Sensing — How to tell productive resonance apart from unconscious collusion, with concrete diagnostic questions you'll use in real time
Boundaries — how to recognize the edge of your scope, and refer out responsibly
Case Based Interpretation: Working through how physiological and psychological threads actually braid together in real client presentations
05 — THE PSYCHOBIOLOGICAL PROCESS IN FORMALITY
The full 10 step Psychobiological Process broken down step by step
Case study presentations of the 10 step process in real time
From intake through integration: building a full session arc using the Psychobiological Process
Co-regulation as a whole-system exchange (physiological, psychological, somatic, relational) — not simply "nervous system to nervous system"
Certification Track — option to certify in Psychobiology™ and be listed as a global accredited practitioner
Psychobiology is a year long practitioner training that integrates psychology with human physiology.
Whole person care becomes possible when physiology, psychology, meaning and are no longer treated as separate domains but understood as expressions of one single living system. Our work begins here.

Item description
-
Most continuing education adds to what you know. This course does that, but also develops what you can perceive, tolerate, differentiate, and respond to directly in the room — the capacities that determine what becomes possible in a case, not just what you're trained to look for. The framework gives you rigour for complexity and ambiguity; the development work is what lets you actually use it.
-
Materials release in semester phases across the year rather than all at once, so the pace is set by the program. Within that structure students are welcome to work at any pace they find suitable.
-
We recommend setting aside 30-45 minutes of study time per week for going through the formal curriculum.
-
Live support for this cohort runs for four months, January through April 2027.
Calls will be bi-weekly in PST time. All calls will be recorded.
-
There is an optional certification track you may apply for upon completion of your training.

Yes. The Fellowship provides partial scholarships in every cohort. The Psychobiology Fellowship exists to extend opportunity to committed practitioners who would otherwise have a barrier to entry into this work.
In Fall 2026 we have 5 partial and 2 full scholarships available. Applications open September 15th and close October 1st.
Please email hello@psychobiology for an application.
