With Linda Graham
Whether they are everyday disappointments or extraordinary disasters. Although resilience is inherent in us, unfavorable patterns develop in the course of our lives, which become lodged in the neural circuitry of our brain and make us susceptible to stress, fears and worries. New scientific findings now show that what once seemed hard-wired can be rewired.
Whether it’s dealing with minor irritations or dealing with real catastrophes, this 3-part November webinar series takes you step-by-step through a process of strengthening the tools and skills you need to recover from stress and trauma and learn and grow from every kind of adversity.
The series draws on the evidence-based tools of psychotherapy, informed by modern neuroscience and practices of mindfulness and self-compassion to show you how you can learn new coping strategies and move into thriving and flourishing.
