Your feeling brain

Wednesday, March 28 10:36 AM

I just picked up a copy of "The Emotional Life of your Brain", and am looking forward to reading it and keeping you informed on the discoveries within.

I have also been attending a certificate program at NYU in Child and Family Therapy, and am thrilled to be hearing about recent discoveries in neuroscience informing how we can deliver more effective treatment. It is nice to see the science support what we as therapists have known anecdotally for decades: that relationships heal, that communication and connection can change our ways of thinking & feeling. That it is never too late for a new beginning.

Until I have more time to write about all this, here is a link to a great opinion piece about how relationships shape the brain.
