Bouncing Back: Rewiring the Brain for Resilience and Well-Being

Presented by Linda Graham, LMFT

Dealing effectively with the challenges and crises of life is the core of our resilience and well-being. Helping our patients develop flexible and adaptive strategies for coping with everyday disappointments and extraordinary disasters is the heart of the therapeutic process.

Modern neuroscience is discovering how the brain encodes its strategies for coping. In this presentation, clinicians will learn which tools and techniques of brain change best help patients reverse the impact of stress and trauma, deepen the self-compassion, empathy and resonant relationships that then connect them to the resources and the perseverance that develops resilience, and shift perspectives through mindful awareness and reflection to discern options and make wise choices.

Linda Graham, LMFT is an experienced psychotherapist and meditation teacher who integrates modern neuroscience, mindfulness practices and relational psychology in her nationwide trainings and workshops. She is the author of Bouncing Back: Rewiring Your Brain for Maximum Resilience and Well-Being and posts monthly e-newsletters on Healing and Awakening into Aliveness and Wholeness, which are archived at www.lindagraham-mft.net. She maintains a full-time private practice in Corte Madera, CA.
