Developing a Resilient Mind

Whether as an educator, parent, or mental health professional, one of the most fundamental and impactful questions we can ask is how can we help to cultivate healthy minds? Dr. Siegel begins to answer this question by first defining the mind as both embodied and relational, through the lens of Interpersonal Neurobiology. By looking at the science, we can discover the ways in which experience and relationships shape the structure and function of our brains, as well as the integral elements for development and healing.
In this experiential lecture, you will delve into this cutting-edge brain science, explore the proven outcomes of reflective practices, and engage in the Wheel of Awareness exercise for integrating consciousness. By understanding the essential components of mindsight – the ability to see the mind of self and others – you will learn and be able to teach the skills necessary to rewire the brain towards greater resilience at any age.

1. Describe the embodied and relational dimensions of the mind
