Description:
While happiness is often underlying most everyone's goals and desires, a practical understanding of achieving happiness and healing is often missing. By providing a scientific understanding of what engages healing within the brain, it becomes possible to utilize the tools of hope and belief to help achieve recovery.
In this course by Dr. Ralph Carson, learn about the neuroscience of hope and eating disorders, brain healing, and emotional balance, along with concrete tools to help those recovering from disordered eating.
This is an introductory program for all mental health professionals.
Learning Objectives:
Describe the physiology underlying stress and the balancing response in the brain.
Identify the relationship between hope, belief, gratitude, forgiveness and healing.
