Enhance your professional ability to help clients obtain better mental wellness: Adaptability,
Resiliency, and Tenacity through practical, useable, and teachable interventions.
THE INTERDEPENDENT DANCE BETWEEN THE
KNOWLEDGE OF MIND-BASED PRINCIPLES AND
THE UTILIZATION OF MIND-BASED INTERVENTIONS
You, as a professional, can help clients/patients access and benefit from many inborn abilities governed by biological and neurological innate functions. Knowledge of these interwoven connections is the beginning and many seminars have addressed thisteaching. But what do you do with thisknowledge? You need interventions, a variety of them, based on the truths psychology and neuro-science have uncover and verified.

Course Overview
This is a seminar that looks at the metamorphosis that occurs on life’s journey as seen through the lenses of neuropsychology. It offers an exploration of mind-based guidelines and interventions helpful for change. The human mind. Anything that affects one cell, or molecule, or thought, affects all the others for the good or for the ill—an exogenous and endogenous existence. There have been too many seminars on understanding the findings and affects of neuro-science -- those repetitive, ongoing, self-reinforcing loops humans get stuck in repeating.. Optimal achievability of mental health often requires interventions based on these findings, not just an understanding of them.
Neuropsychology meets Psychotherapy—Transforming Toxic Lives
One of the brain’s fascinating aspects is the mind: its ability to perceive, process, store, and recall information. Yet, still, the brain, the mind, mystifies, and delights. Where do bright ideas, deepest emotions, and grandest dreams arise? And, when do they become toxic? What’s in a thought? Every thought has a corresponding electrochemical reaction—chemicals course through your body in feedback loops. The task of neuropsychology is to explain human feelings, thoughts, and behavior in terms of the activities of the brain. And, the mind is what the brain does. The brain is not a flawless piece of machinery. Mental well-being, to a person’s optimal achievability, is a vital dimension of one’s journey in life. Necessity demands an understanding of what thought actually is, from both a neurological and biological perspective. How does a thought grow in the brain? And how are thoughts changed? What psychological skills and interventions can help compensate for and overcome maladaptive and toxic thinking? Revolutionary neuropsychology skills follow brain-based guidelines providing clinicians with useable skills to help clients/patients transform toxic lives. Understand these patterns and gain useful skills that will help clinician’s interventions with clients/patients be more effective. Life is a journey!
