Doing Brain-Wise Therapy

 

 


 

Whether we are therapists, teachers, or healthcare providers, we will be able to support those who look to us for guidance and care with greater clarity and compassion when we are well-grounded in an understanding of the brain and mind - and when we have nurtured our own mental health.  This latter part turns out to be particularly important because of the way we continually shape each other's brains.  By developing mindful awareness of our own inner world, we will foster not only our own well-being but become excellent facilitators of healing connection.

Having experienced the effectiveness of integrating brain wisdom with the helping arts, we provide three ways you can develop deep knowledge about the brain and mind as well as foster your own mental well-being.

  • Learn about the brain, mind, and relationships deeply through extended study.  As this knowledge internalized, you will find that it begins to shape how you see all human beings.  We will develop a custom-tailored individual or group program to facilitate this learning.
  • Apply all that you learn to your own life.  This helps the new knowledge live in your right hemisphere as well as your left, gradually making your learning a whole-brained way of experiencing life.  Through individual and group consultations, we will help you foster this knowledge while you deepen your connection with your patients or students.
  • Experience brain-wise therapy from the inside out in your own counseling.  Bonnie offers therapy for clinicians, educators, and healthcare providers because the more coherent our own minds, the more we are able to help others heal in all aspects of their lives.

 

 

"And once we have the condition of peace and joy in us, we can afford to be in any situation. Even in the situation of hell, we will be able to contribute our peace and serenity. The most important thing is for each of us to have some freedom in our heart, some stability in our heart, some peace in our heart. Only then will we be able to relieve the suffering around us."
