General information

The 21st century is marked by complexity and rapid change leading to more highly stressful lives.

Recent research using brain scans shows when people are stressed, the part of the brain responsible for the “FIGHT OR FLIGHT” response -- the amygdala -- goes into a primitive survival mode (Siegel, D. 2010).

In this high-alert state, instead of being able to cope with more activity, the brain actually starts shutting down. Productivity, creativity, innovation, emotional intelligence when dealing with others and flexibility of thinking all decrease (Baldwin M et al, 2010; Arnsten, 2009).

Are you battling depression? Having difficulty with a relationship? Or are you feeling stuck and not getting to where you want to be? Is your child struggling with ADD, ADHD, or performance anxiety. Is the stress of every day life beginning to affect your close relationships or taking away from your ability to be the parent, partner, or person you want to be?
