Podcasts about changes itself

It's new years resolution season - that time of year where we're swearing off alcohol, trying to drink less coffee or working on other health resolutions. How are habits formed in the body and how does breaking a habit affect your body? How can you support your body through habit changes and how closely linked are your brain and body anyway? In this episode of the Ancient Health Podcast, Doctor Chris Motley explores the intricate relationship between habits, emotions, and organ health through the lens of Eastern medicine. Learn how habits are formed in the brain and organs, the impact of emotions on physiological functions, and pick up strategies for changing habits gradually. Doctor Motley skillfully combines Easter Medicine with western science's latest research on neuroplasticity.  #TraditionalChineseMedicine #habits #health Want more of The Ancient Health Podcast?

Emotions can significantly affect physiological functions. Neuroplasticity allows the brain to adapt to new habits. Gradual change is more effective than going cold turkey. Understanding the emotional connections to habits is crucial. Herbs and supplements can aid in breaking habits. Detoxification can help release trapped emotions. Creating new habits involves reinforcing positive behaviors. Small changes can lead to significant habit transformations. EFT tapping can be a useful tool for emotional release.

In this episode, our guest is Al Wadleigh, a Feldenkrais practitioner and the co-host of the Feldenkrais for Life podcast. We talk about how to rewire our nervous system through Feldenkrais, increasing our learning, memory, health, and potential. Returning us to that childlike state of exploration, curiosity, aliveness, and possibility, Feldenkrais is like a playful portal into adult neuroplasticity and change. Waking us up from our habits and removing our rigid societal masks and algorithms, it can likewise unlock self-awareness, self-image, spontaneity, lightness, ease, authenticity, freedom, and growth.We delve into this via various interconnected angles, including: novelty, making mistakes/errors, correcting, contradictory movements, speed of movement, pausing, relaxation, zooming in and out, focus and unfocus, attention, the eyes, neck, lips, mouth, creativity, the imagination, the voice, the skeleton, effort, finding links and connections, technology (e.g. smartphones, the Internet), and other exercise and movement-based practices. The episode wraps up by putting all this into action through a short powerful Feldenkrais lesson using the eyes and imagination.  **CONNECT & LEARN MORE**podcast: feldenkraisforlife.com website: achievingexcellence.com audio lessons & more: achievingexcellence.com/all-productsRESOURCESBOOKS - The Brain that Changes Itself  by Norman Doidge - The Brain's Way of Healing by Norman DoidgeLESSONS - Alexander Yanai lessons - Al Wadleigh lessonsPEOPLE- Donna Ray- Moshé Feldenkrais- Norman DoidgeVOCABULARY - Functional Integration- homunuculus- Weber-Fechner LawListen to Feldenkrais for Life, Al Wadleigh and Donna Ray's podcast, on Spotify, Apple, or your favorite podcast app. Connect with Al on his website: achievingexcellence.com.or send me a text message here

In the second installment of a two-part conversation, Aaron is joined by Dr. Norman Doidge, a psychiatrist and psychoanalyst who served on the faculty at Columbia University's Center for Psychoanalytic Training and Research and the University of Toronto's Department of Psychiatry. Dr. Doidge is the author of the New York Times bestselling book, The Brain that Changes Itself, and The Brain's Way of Healing. Aaron and Norman turn their conversation to mainstream medicine, which in Dr. Doidge's view, has neglected the human soul through the deification of science. They also discuss the corruption of the scientific method by industry and government overreach.

This is a conversation with Feldenkrais practioner and dance coach, Paul Pui Wo Lee. We talk about Feldenkrais and how it can be a kind of gateway into new possibilities -  new ways to dance, make art, love, connect, think, feel, sense, move, and be. I reflect on my first Feldenkrais experience (episode 40) and how it changed my self-image, confidence, thinking, perception, and even my voice. Feldenkrais is not just about movement. It is about discovering new possibilities for how live as a human being in this world, both alone and with others. It is about re-learning how to move, think, sense, and feel in more free and natural ways. It is an unlocking of old habits and patterns and unleashing of new possibilities for action, art, and identity. It is a tool for resurrecting the homo sapien, restoring human dignity, re-opening in your body and brain a world of endless options and possibilities, a feeling of "I can." Some of the topics we discuss include: dance, art, learning, memory, culture, society, self-image, falling, and making mistakes. -  Paul's website:  www.paulsfeldenkraisprojects.com - Instagram: @paul_moves - 13 free bonus lessons with Paul (on YouTube): The Wisdom of the Feet - Feldenkrais Lessons with Paul Pui Wo LeeRESOURCESBOOKSBody and Mature Behavior: A Study of Anxiety, Sex, Gravitation, and Learning by Moshé FeldenkraisThe Brain that Changes Itself by Norman DoidgeThe Brain's Way of Healing by Norman DoidgePEOPLEMarie KaaeMoshé FeldenkraisNastya MadstateNorman DoidgeRuPaulTo learn more about Feldenkrais, you can visit the Movement and Creativity Library or google "Feldenkrais" and find a provider near you.

Jenn speaks to Muriel (Mumu) Morwitzer-Bächtold an enthusiastic and passionate Movement coach and international educator for art of motion Academy and Anatomy Trains Australia/New Zeeland. She trained to become a professional dancer, however Mumu had to retire early due to injuries. Mumu pulled out all her learnt Pilates tools to rehabilitate herself. Meeting Karin Gurtner, co-founder of art of motion Academy, assisted her in understanding and approach her rehabilitation more individually and holistically. A special life changing moment was when Karin developed Slings Myofascial Training and how to (re)train innate fascial qualities, this opened a whole new understanding of the body's self-healing capacity and how to train and regain “somatic trust” and “movement courage” again. We delve into her life experiences, specifically the passing of her father and what showing up on the mat and creating a resource-oriented training program taught her, especially on how to recover from emotional and physical adversity! We wrap up the conversation by talking about movement for kids and teenager and how developing somatic trust and kinaesthetic intelligence is so important in the world we live in today. (Recorded on June 10, 2022)About Muriel:Muriel Morwitzer, known to most as Mumu, is the Senior Educator and Managing Director of art of motion academy® Australia, a renowned training organization for Contemporary Pilates & Slings Myofascial Training based in Switzerland and Australia, which was founded by Karin Gurtner.Growing up in the Swiss Alps Mumu enjoyed skiing, snowboarding, hiking, dancing and white water kayaking. Mumu trained in Ballet, Contemporary Dance, Pilates, Choreography and Anatomy for Dancers at the Laban Centre in London. It was here that she discovered her love for Pilates, developed a passion for educating others and honed a focus on preventing injuries in movement-linked professions.However at times she felt as though her training was lacking something. She now knows that to be the deeper and more contemporary science-based understanding of the body's interconnectedness, as well as the experience lead embodiment of that knowledge that art of motion and Anatomy Trains has given her.art of motion's holistic and contemporary approach to functional exercise and exercise sequencing applied to Pilates and Slings Myofascial Training was refreshing for Mumu, and an inspiring turning point. When she was asked to study under Karin and join the art of motion lecturing team in 2009 she felt very privileged and honoured.Being a part of the art of motion team kept Mumu in touch with Karin's findings, one of them being Tom Myers' Anatomy Trains concept; it will be forever a memorable moment! Being introduced to Tom's concept and application broadened her personal ‘body reading' horizon and understanding of whole body interconnectedness dramatically, as well as how to apply it to functional movement. The more she delved into Anatomy Trains, Mumu could see the missing pieces of her ‘puzzle' coming together and so her approach and her clients results changed for the better and are to this day very rewarding!Mumu has greatly enjoyed her journey so far and knows there is more to learn for evermore, which is inspiring and exciting to her!Travelling is in her nature. You can find her teaching and lecturing internationally in Switzerland, Europe, Singapore, Bali, and Australia-wide!Episode Resources:IGFBVimeoBrene Brown PodcastElizabeth Gilbert Podcast Jack Kornfield PodcastGil HedleyCarla StecoTara BrachThe Body Keeps the ScoreThe Brain that Changes Itself

Welcome back to the Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, EPISODE #132 with Barbara Arrowsmith Young, an incredible woman from my hometown, Toronto, Canada, who is otherwise known as “The Woman Who Changed Her Brain”[i] Watch this interview on YouTube here. In this episode, you will learn: ✔︎The heroic story of Barbara Arrowsmith-Young that Dr. Norman Doidge, the author of The Brain That Changes Itself says is “truly heroic, on par with the achievements of Helen Keller.” ✔︎ What specific learning challenges Barbara noticed by 1st grade, and how she struggled through school during the time of the “fixed” brain, before the concept of neuroplasticity. ✔︎ How her parents prepared her for the legacy she would create years after she graduated from OISE’s Faculty of Education in Toronto. ✔︎ How a Russian neuropsychologist Alexander Luria and psychologist Mark Rosenzweig would help her to find the solution she was looking for to overcome her learning challenges and change her brain. ✔︎ What is the Arrowsmith School and Program that serves schools in educational institutions in worldwide? ✔︎ How you can connect with the Arrowsmith School to learn more about their programs to change student’s brains. Welcome back, I'm Andrea Samadi, a former educator who has been fascinated with understanding the science behind high performance strategies in schools, sports, and the workplace for the past 20 years. If you have been listening to our podcast, you will know that we’ve uncovered that if we want to improve our social and emotional skills, and experience success in our work and personal lives, it all begins with an understanding of our brain. I first learned about Barbara Arrowsmith Young when researching for Brian Fact Friday and EPISODE #129 as she was a case study in Dr. Norman Doidge’s book, The Brain That Changes Itself[ii] Dr. Doidge is a Canadian scientist, medical doctor, and psychiatrist who was one of the researchers who put Neuroplasticity on the map and he dedicated a whole chapter in his book to Barbara’s story called “Building Herself a Better Brain” which is exactly what she did. You can read Barbara’s book, The Woman Who Changed Her Brain,[iii]  that’s now in its third edition, here.   I’ve heard Dr. Daniel Amen say over and over again that “you are not stuck with the brain that you have. You can be empowered to change it for the better[iv]” and Barbara Arrowsmith Young did just that, and more. Her story just below me away. Literally. It was the first time I cried while researching someone, as her story of struggling as a young girl hit a chord for me. The whole reason I do the work I’m doing now, is to help educators or those in the workplace to use the understanding of their brain to improve productivity (whether that’s in the classroom, or the workplace) and when someone is struggling in this area, like many people who have dedicated their life to the field of teaching and learning, most would want to know “why is this person struggling and what can we do to help them past this?” You can watch Barbara Arrowsmith Young’s  TEDx Talk, or read her story in Dr. Doidge’s book, to dive deeper into her story, that began when she was told she had a mental defect with her brain when she was younger, would never learn like other children, and would just have to learn to live with these limitations. For those of us who have children who need a little extra help, or who have worked with children with learning disabilities, we know that many times, even though other areas of the brain are highly functioning, and can even appear to make up for those areas of the brain that are not as strong, not addressing the areas of weakness, fixing or correcting them, can cause years of frustration for the child and will show up eventually when the brain becomes tired of working hard to compensate for the weaker areas.  This even showed up in my results with my brain scan at Amen Clinics with the X test, or the Connor’s Continuous Performance Test Score where we had to hit a key on the keyboard of a computer every time an X appeared, and not hit it when we didn’t see the x. Dr. Creado who did my test evaluation mentioned that “he has noticed that people who have weaker executive functions in their brain can develop life hacks to help them to focus and concentrate when they need to. But the problem is, that with time, and not working on brain health, or function, it will just become more difficult to keep up with these life hacks. Eventually, the brain will not be able to keep up with the hack which is why it’s so important to look and see what’s happening in your brain. You won’t know any of this, without looking.”[v]    Her work, begun in 1978, has been recognized as one of the first examples of the practical application of neuroplasticity which, simply put, is the ability of the brain to change and rewire itself over one’s lifetime. As the Director of Arrowsmith School and Arrowsmith Program, she continues to develop and refine programs for students with learning difficulties.     Her vision is that all students struggling with learning will have the opportunity to benefit from cognitive programs utilizing the principles of neuroplasticity, programs that change the brain’s capacity to learn and open to these learners a world of possibilities.     The genesis of the Arrowsmith Program’s cognitive exercises lies in Barbara Arrowsmith-Young's journey of discovery and innovation to overcome her severe learning disabilities. Her inspirational book ‘The Woman who Changed Her Brain’ has become an international bestseller and a third edition updated with new research was published in December 2019.    Barbara is the recipient of the 2019 Leaders and Legends Innovation Award from the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education at the University of Toronto for her outstanding contributions to education in Ontario.   About the Arrowsmith Program   The Arrowsmith Program has been recognized by Sharp Brains as the Most Innovative Special Education Program of its kind, identifying and strengthening the weak cognitive functions that underlie specific learning difficulties.    The Arrowsmith Program is offered in over 90 educational organizations in 13 countries.  Ongoing research with neuroscientists, neuropsychologists and psychologists is demonstrating that the program not only changes the brain, cognitive functioning, and academic achievement but also leads to social-emotional well-being.   ‘Barbara’s story is truly heroic, on par with the achievements of Helen Keller.’  Norman Doidge M.D. author of the New York Times Bestseller The Brain that Changes Itself.    Barbara Arrowsmith-Young is the founder of the Arrowsmith Program, an assessment process and a suite of cognitive exercises designed to stimulate and strengthen weak areas of cognitive functioning that underlie a range of learning difficulties, which has been delivered for 40+ years throughout the world.  Sadly, Barbara grew up at the time when most medical experts believed our brains were fixed, so she had to defy the odds, and find solutions to overcome her learning challenges on her own. She did and created the Arrowsmith School is Toronto where she now teaches other children many of the strategies that she used herself to strengthen her brain. Let’s meet this extraordinary woman, from my hometown, Barbara Arrowsmith Young. Welcome Barbara, I’m so grateful to have found you. It started when I read Dr. Doidge’s book The Brain That Changes Itself and chapter 2 of his book was dedicated to your story. My eyes saw Toronto (where I grew up and went to school) and Peterborough where you were raised, where I still send some Christmas cards to friends and family that way, and now I wanted to know your story. Then I saw your TEDx and the connection grew stronger with my background in teaching (I saw we both attended OISE’s Faculty of Education for our teacher training), and I had an interest in earning additional training in strategies for students with Learning Disabilities. Your story brought tears to my eyes as my focus on for the past 9 years has been to create content to help students/teachers in the classroom to instill a positive mindset for these young learners, and I saw how things were so different before there was such an emphasis on these skills.  Thanks so much for being here today. Q1: Barbara, can you share what you were told about your brain, and learning when you were in 1st grade, (mental block) and the challenges you had growing up at a time when doctors believed that our brains were fixed? Q2: What specifically did you have a difficult time with and what did this do to your ability to learn at school (thinking of those students in the classroom today with a learning challenge)? Q3: Things reached their lowest point for you in grade 8 where you just couldn’t see how you could go on with learning being this difficult, but your father, an inventor, helped you to adopt the mindset you would need to soldier on. When I heard what he told you, it made me feel more connected to you. I had a mousepad given to me from a friend back in Toronto as a gift when I was moving to the US, with the exact same saying on it. What did he teach you and how did this help you to move forward? Q4: This is where my mind started to blow up a bit when I watched your TEDx. A bit because I can’t imagine researching before the internet. How did you come across the work of neuropsychologist Alexander Luria and psychologist Mark Rosenzweig[vi] and what did you learn from them? Q5: The final missing piece for anyone who has gone through life with a learning challenge like you, or like me as a parent, watching my youngest child, wondering why can one of my kids sail through school, without any effort, and the other, needs constant support and guidance? Or a teacher out there, wondering what else could we do to help that one student putting in extra effort, without any results. Can you share what are the Assessments[vii] you use at Arrowsmith to identify a learning challenge, and what can they do for a student to help them past this challenge? Q6: This podcast is going into our 6th season, and 3rd year and has a reach of over 148 countries around the world. Our top countries are the USA, Australia next and Canada and the UK not far behind. I saw your participating sites link[viii] on your website, and wonder how schools could become a participating site to access your assessments and curriculum? Q7: What programs can you tell our audience about at Arrowsmith Schools? I saw a powerful video about your Summer Intensive program in Toronto that drew students from around the world (USA, Australia, the UK and beyond). Do you have anything like this coming up? Q8: What’s your vision for Arrowsmith Schools, and on the horizon for you that we should all be aware of? For people who want to learn more about your school, assessments and programs, I have put all of the links in the show notes, in addition to your website. https://arrowsmithschool.org/ Where else can people follow you and your school? Thank you Barbara for taking the time to speak with me. It’s a true honor to meet someone who has made such an incredible impact on the world, that began with an understanding of your brain.  I will continue to follow work and wish you much success!

Dr. Doug Pucci graduated from New York Chiropractic College, Long Island, NY, in 1987. His inspiration to be hands-on with patients and chart his own course as a clinician led him to open in private practice in 1990, in Oradell, NJ, where he still devotes himself to caring for patients using holistic, drug-free treatments. In his thirty years, he has become acutely aware of the limitations our current medical system has in treating chronic diseases using “conventional” methodology. In response to this, Dr. Doug Pucci began studying functional disciplines of medicine and neuro-endocrine-immunology together with testing technologies and nutraceutical supplements that are known to reverse disease. The root of his treatment philosophy is about asking relevant questions and discovering why systems are imbalanced. In addition to clinical observation and proper testing, Dr. Pucci also strives to educate patients by spending sufficient time with them explaining the results of their tests, while also supporting them in a broader lifestyle context. On today’s podcast Nicolette and Dr. Pucci discuss Covid, the health care system, chronic diseases, testing, sleep and more. Dr. Pucci is skilled at making the science relevant and relatable when he describes the nature of disease and the ways to reverse disease. When he works with his patients, he takes into consideration the entire body: the brain, central nervous system, spine, organs and glands, immune and endocrine systems and the nutritional chemistry for total healing. You’ll also better understand the role of inflammation in the body, the connection between the gut and the brain, and how 80% of your immune system is actually in your gut ultimately driving your immune system. Dr. Pucci also has a mini course that will take you deeper into the science of healing so that you, too, can achieve optimal health.

Erwähnte Assessments und Fragebögen für den Befund: - Parkinson Disease Questionnaire (ein Bsp. von Google hier) - UPDRS - Mini Best Test - Freezing Gait Questionnaire - Krafttests mit dem Kraftdynamometer - Fatigue Impact Scale → Befund nach ICF Erwähnte Quellen: - Jeffrey Kleim und Theresa Jones: Principles of experience-dependent neural plasticity (.. ein Blogpost zu dem Thema) - „The Brain that Changes Itself“ (auf Deutsch: Neustart im Kopf) von Norman Doidge (hier eine Review auf physiostudents.de) - Soft-wired von Michael Merzenich - Neuro Reha von Thieme An einer Stelle erwähnt Philip "Nils Bohr", gemeint ist aber Nils Boettcher, als Referent zu Motivational Interviewing. Philip arbeitet im Therapie Zentrum Heidelberg (www.therapiezentrum-hd.de) und der Leiter dort ist Jochen Zerbisch, einer der Gründer von Physiomeetsscience. Unter PMR kann man dort auch an Weiterbildungen teilnehmen.

The subject of reincarnation arouses a lot of curiosity and debate.  Those who ‘believe' in reincarnation seek to understand the mechanisms behind it, and those who don't, look for ‘proof' before they consider it a possibility.  In this episode, Thom explains the Vedic worldview on reincarnation, putting forward a case to satisfy both the believers and the ‘scienticians.'He explains that the process of reincarnation doesn't just happen between lifetimes, but that it happens countless times within each lifetime. He challenges the notion that reincarnation must be proven and measurable, while at the same time offering sufficient proof to even make the most hard-nosed skeptics think deeper on the subject.He explores the process of enlightenment and describes the impact of ‘punya,' your cosmic credit rating, on the choices available to you when the time comes to reincarnate.Importantly, he also reminds us that the belief of Vedic wisdom is an optional philosophy when it comes to one's practice of Vedic Meditation.  Vedic Meditation can be practiced with great effect regardless of one's philosophical or even religious beliefs.No matter what your current beliefs are, this is one episode you'll want to listen to again, and again, and again... :-)Episode Highlights: [00:46 ] Belief in Reincarnation is Optional[02:11] Reincarnation is For the Ignorant[04:25] What is Reincarnation?[06:16] Heaven on Earth[08:34] Maya Koshas and the In-Between State [10:38] Immeasurable Love and The Scienticians[12:27] Unheard Of!

Quantum Quote: “When we talk about people who are concerned about the environment and look at the macro scale of what's happening in the world, it can really make you a little bit crazy. The only way to really deal with that is to start within, make your own small impact, and know that you've done your part.” Today, we explore how one family made the transition in their single-family home in a suburb just outside of New York City.  Sung Pak is an American immigrant success story. Sung is a renowned functional neural mechanic specialist, better known as a brain trainer. He trains the brain to create movement efficiency and control pain, helping people with neurological illnesses like Parkinson's improve their lives and training athletes to achieve peak performance.  Sung's resiliency philosophy extends to his family's efforts to have an impact on climate change by starting at home. Sung shares his family story about why they move to solar electricity and geothermal heating and cooling and how they saved money doing it.    Sign up for the AWESome EarthKind™ Clean Energy Master Class to discover 3 simple actions you can take to start saving money and make the world a better place - without having to learn complex technology   Supernova 1: Even a family living on a small property in a New York City Suburb can get solar and geothermal to dramatically reduce their environmental impact and save money. Supernova 2: Question authority. Ask around. Do your own research and due diligence. Check references. Get multiple bids & compare companies. Supernova 3: The human brain can rewire and repair itself more than we ever imagined. People can train their brain to create movement efficiency and control pain. Those with neurological illnesses like Parkinson's can improve their lives, and athletes can achieve achieve peak performance.  Supernova 4: Sung's aha moment is “…the fact that yes, we made the right decision. The only way to really do it to start within. We are doing everything we can to minimize the impact. I feel like my wife and I have done it, we're still doing it, and we're setting an example for our children”   Supernova 5:  When the screw doesn't loosen - tighten it, and it will come loose.

Kristin Linklater has been helping people to transform their voice into an instrument of passion, power and performance for many, many years. I am honoured that she is a guest on the show and that she is sharing such value for anyone that wants to reach their full potential as a public speaker. She has had a long and distinguished career as a teacher and actor in Europe and America. She has worked with some of the most prestigious theatre companies and dramatic institutions in the world and has written one of the seminal books on voice technique based on hearing ‘the person, not the voice.' Kristin has published several articles on voice and has lectured and given workshops in the U.S., the UK, Europe, Russia, Taiwan and China. Since 1965 she has trained over 200 teachers in her methods; they teach in a majority of the actor-training programs in the U.S., and in Australia, England, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Finland, Spain and Russia. Today, Kristin is still teaching her method in courses at the Kristin Linklater Voice Centre in the Orkney Islands.   I hope you enjoy the show.  What we talk about: The mysterious origin of modern voice technique. The connection between mind, body and voice. The difference between a ‘free' voice and an ‘inhibited' one. The ‘vertical' experience of the voice and why speakers should be using this in their talks. Why we ‘unlearn' how to use our voice to its full potential. How our jaw protects us from ‘feeling' unwanted emotion.  Examples of bad voice habits and how they impact the quality of our performance? How trying to control our voice reduces our vocal stamina. Why public speakers must ‘feel' the words and not hide behind a presentational tone. The link between our limiting beliefs and our voice. Why the stories we're silently holding onto are sabotaging our voice and our message.  The step on stage ‘mantra' for conquering the primal fear that stops you from speaking or affects your performance.  Tips for speakers to help improve the quality of their voice. Kristin's process for putting her own keynote talks together. How Kristin uses stories to create aha moments.  Who really wrote the plays of Shakespeare!

In this episode, we continue our exploration of the application of the Brainspotting modality. Our guest, Dr. Melanie Young, discusses brain injuries, symptoms, and interventions. We are left with a sense of hope that, through collaborative efforts provided by what we refer to as “allied providers”, people who have experienced brain injuries can successfully heal. Brainspotting is a modality discovered by Dr. David Grand. Please visit www.brainspotting.com to learn more. Here are the six mantras from this episode: Mantra #1: Head injuries are often invisible (unable to be seen on the scans). Mantra #2: (If symptoms persist or get worse), don’t wait too long to see out further information, such as neuropsychology testing. Mantra #3: People who have experienced brain injury need extra support (at home, at school, at work). Mantra #4: Watch for problematic symptoms such as withdrawal, apathy, low mood, irritability, etc. Mantra #5: Neuroplasticity offers hope to anyone who has suffered from a brain injury (see Dr. Norman Doige’s The Brain that Changes Itself). Mantra #6: Brainspotting (and other modalities offered by “allied practitioners” does not promise “miracles” but it does offer a new better normal for the person who has experienced a brain injury. More about Dr. Melanie Young Dr. Melanie Young is a psychotherapist in private practice is based in Boulder, Colorado. She enjoys working with teens, adults, seniors, and couples. Dr. Young uses an integrative approach to working with the brain, body, and spirit. She often utilizes Brainspotting (BSP) to assist with processing and releasing these memories, as well as to decrease other problematic symptoms. She is a national Brainspotting trainer and provides individual and group consultation for psychotherapists. Melanie believes that each person has the capacity to heal themselves with the support of the therapeutic relationship. “Together, we can find strategies to help you strengthen your internal resources and increase your resilience. I respect all forms of diversity and approach each client with compassion, curiosity, and openness.” Melanie’s website: https://melanieyoungpsyd.com/

It’s ironic that the brain is such an extraordinary mechanism and yet often it’s the brain, or more so the way we think with the brain, that holds many people back from reaching their potential. The brain often produces thoughts about itself that aren’t true, including the thought that it isn’t so smart or that it doesn’t have the capacity to change – “I am the way that I am and have to accept and adapt to the world the way it is.” Or it might make judgements that don’t serve us - "I'm not good enough," or "I lack confidence." Episode Highlights: The Variable IQ A burden in business A brain that has difficulty trusting others to get the job done can become insistent that, “I have to do it myself otherwise it won’t get done properly.” Be The Change You Want To See In Your World There is hope Useful Links:  Mind Matters Website  Catherine on LinkedIn  Rex on LinkedIn  Mind Matters Facebook  Mind Matters Twitter The Brain that Changes Itself by Norman Doidge M.D. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Brain plasticity has been in the news the past few years. Years ago we thought the brain was hardwired and incurable. Now, we know that the brain can be malleable and new brain cells can be created. Books like, “The Brain that Changes Itself”, by Dr. Norman Doidge and “Save Your Brain:The 5 Things You Must Do to Keep Your Mind Young and Sharp” , by Dr. Paul Nussbaum, have presented evidence to show how the brain can change after damage and how to enhance thinking skills. There are also websites that have information or mind games that are purported to help increase or maintain cognitive functioning. Although I do not endorse any of these sites, or can prove without a shadow of a doubt that these mental games will help, they are interesting. For a good resource site go to www.sharpbrains.com. For computer internet brain training programs check out: www.lumosity.com, www.cognifit.com, and www.positscience.com

Psychiatrist, psychoanalyst, and best-selling author, Dr. Norman Doidge, discusses the findings in his latest book, The Brain that Changes Itself, an examination of brain neuroplasticity.
