Learning, Behavior Change & Recovery

Learning New Behaviors Happens only in the Context of Meaningful Relationships

Through our lives, we model our behaviors after individuals who influence us through love or affection, or people who dominate us and we see them as powerful.  The older we are, the better we can distinguish between desireable or undesirable role models.  Research about brain plasticity provides a better understanding of the brain's ability to continue and adapt, modify and heal itself.  Modifications can happen after traumatic brain injuries, loss of a set of skills (such as blindness), or as a survival mechanism to adapt to new conditions.

We Fall into despair when behaviors we learned or adopted don't lead us to desired outcome.   Research about brain plasticity provides a better understanding of the brain's ability to continue and adapt, modify and heal itself.  Modifications can happen after traumatic brain injuries, loss of a set of skills (such as blindness), or as a survival mechanism to adapt to new conditions.

Unleashing the self-healing capabilities of our brain, is done through conversations, and repeated practice of desired behavior

Intimate, meaningful conversations allow for respectful exploration, curiosity, neutrality, openness to possibilities, and optimism that repeated practice will lead to improved performance.
