Description
Description:
This keynote explores how understanding individual brain types can transform treatment for mood, anxiety, and relationship challenges. Participants learn how neuroimaging reveals distinct patterns linked to impulsivity, rigidity, and emotional reactivity, and how tailored interventions—from exercise and nutrition to supplements and psychotherapy—can restore balance. The session offers a practical, brain-based approach to improving mental health, relationships, and overall well-being.
In this fun presentation Dr. Amen will discuss different areas of the brain involved in relationships, what they do, what happens when things go wrong and how to improve them. You are a better marital therapist when you understand the brain.
Educational Objectives:
- List 5 functions of the prefrontal cortex as it relates to relationships.
- List three ways brain injuries can negatively impact relationships.
