We draw from the latest science, including mind-body medicine,
neuroscience, mindfulness, to equip those facing mental/emotional
distress with the latest insight on what it takes to move towards
sustainable, vibrant mental health.
What does the latest science on brain
changeability mean for those facing
serious mental and emotional distress?
In what ways can this discovery help
instill hope for people in
meaningful recovery?
How can family and friends support
someone who is distressed in a way that
is truly helpful?
Is sustainable recovery from serious
mental or emotional disorder even
possible? If so, what does that entail?
Are there consequences for trying
to fight against what hurts or trying to
push away what is painful?
What would it mean to make room
for what hurts, stopping long enough to
learn how to work with painful emotions
more skillfully?
How can we work with repetitive,
negative thoughts in a way that helps
decrease their power over us?
In what ways might we begin to “get
at the roots” of mental & emotional
problems by taking risk factors seriously
in our approach to mental distress?
