Presented by Dorothy Mandel, Ph.D.
Course: In this 1 1/2 hour presentation, Dr. Mandel will use empirical evidence, current theory and research to define the neurobiology of nurture and to present related concepts and strategies that can assist clients to relieve stress and regulate emotions. Her presentation will include (1) a discussion of the physiological underpinnings and origins of stress and resilience, (2) basic scientific understandings of the relationship between heartbeats, hormones, and emotions, (3) strategies to reduce stress and increase resilience, (4) scientifically supported theoretical links between the neurobiology of nurture and epigenetics, (4) physiological evidence of one heart affecting another at a distance, and (5) biophotons and the quantum biology of the heart.
