CC12 Keynote 07 – Taking in the Good: The Mindful Internalization of Resource Experiences for Love and Intimacy – Rick Hanson, PhD
Original Program Date :
Length: 59:50
Description:
To compensate for the brain’s innate negativity bias – making it like Velcro for negative experiences but Teflon for positive ones, which sensitizes couples to hurts and conflicts and undermines psychotherapy – we’ll explore a vital method in self-directed neuroplasticity: identifying key positive experiences and then registering them deeply in implicit memory.
Educational Objectives:
- Describe how the brain evolved a negativity bias.
- Teach clients the three steps of deliberately internalizing positive experiences.
