You Can’t Teach a Flooded Brain: The Neuroscience of Why Mind Matters Comes First
Participants often arrive carrying trauma, chronic stress, or the ordinary anxiety of a hard week. Their brains are often running in survival mode, which makes it biologically difficult to absorb new relational skills. And what happens when you, the facilitator, walk into the room carrying the same load?
This webinar explores the intersection of neuroscience and relationship education, and why foundational mental well-being tools must come first. We’ll dig into the science behind the Dibble program, Mind Matters. Understanding your participants’ and your own capacity to self-regulate increases everyone’s capacity to connect.
