Afternoon Session:
Hardwiring Happiness with Positive Neuroplasticity
WORKSHOP OVERVIEW
Positive Neuroplasticity teaches ways to make the most of beneficial experiences, to promote happiness, self-worth, resilience, and motivation. All of us have fleeting positive experiences throughout our days, but they come and go seemingly without lasting impact. Using evidence-based strategies, this course is designed to teach participants how to convert these passing positive states into lasting neural traits that can be used intentionally and repeatedly.
Participants learn the basics of positive neuroplasticity and skills to improve their ability to meet their needs to feel safer, more satisfied, and more connected. Often, we experience conditions that create stress, hurt, and challenges in our lives. While we cannot always change those conditions, we can build inner resources to rise to these challenges more effectively and even to experience a greater level of wholeness and joy. The program is based around Dr. Rick Hanson’s HEAL process, an acronym for: have a positive experience; enrich the experience; absorb the experience; and link the experience to negative material. It teaches practical skills that can be used to increase calm, strength, confidence, and joy, as it links mindfulness and gratitude practices with current learnings from psychology and neurology.
Course Level: Beginner
Target Audience: Social Workers, Licensed Professional Counselors, Psychologists, Addictions Counselors, other mental health professionals

-
Demonstrate HEAL, a four-part positive neuroplasticity intervention
