Rewiring the Brain

About This Course:

Have you ever observed how some individuals appear to handle stress, depression, anxiety, or trauma with greater resilience? Have you pondered why you or others sometimes feel trapped in cycles of negative thoughts and emotions? Are you aware of the connection between mental health and physical well-being?

These phenomena find explanation in the realms of neuroimmunology and neuropsychology. Formerly attributed to inherent traits, we now understand these differences as products of individual neurological makeup. The exciting revelation is that the brain isn't fixed; it's malleable. By understanding and actively engaging with this plasticity, you can not only transform your thought processes but also reshape the very structures of your brain. These changes yield improvements not just in emotional and mental health but also directly impact physical well-being.

This course is not a journey of self-help, motivation, or spirituality. Rather, it offers a rigorous exploration grounded in scientific research and evidence-based practices. Delve into the workings of the brain, how they influence various facets of life, and the actionable medical theories for effecting change. Regardless of your background or educational journey, you'll find value in this course.

Pathways of depression, anxiety, grief, and stress

Mission focused mindset and delayed responses

Resilience and mental “toughness”

Instructor:

J.R.

Simulcast Option:

This is a new option. We are equipping the classroom to broadcast this class live. You will be able to see the instructor, see the slides, and see the others in the classroom. You will also be able to hear the instructor and hear as others ask questions in the classroom. You will also be able to ask question live and those in the classroom will also hear your questions. Our goal with this system is to make you feel like you are "in the room" with others.

Equipment Required: You can view on your phone, tablet, or computer. You will want to have stable WiFi and a microphone to ask questions (phones/tablets have built in mics that will work fine).

Please note: This will NOT be recorded. This simulcast is live which will mean you need to actually participate while the class is being offered live.

If you live close enough to attend in person, please do so. This is NOT meant to be a replacement for attending in person if you are able. This is an option for those who live too far to travel, or who have other reasons they might not be able to leave home/work.

There is a price increase to help offset the cost of the equipment and the live broadcast technician.
