Biochemistry can have a powerful effect on mood and behavior. This workshop looks at the biochemical links with many behaviors, i.e. ADD, violence, depression, suicide, OCD, and panic attacks. Day One The Value of Understanding Biochemistry Why negative behaviors are automatic to the brain Strategies to balance brain chemistry without medication How diverse behaviors can be similar in their effect on the brain The Physiological Reward Center Why a behavior can be unwanted from a psychological perspective but sought out physiologically. How physiological rewards predict compliance with treatment options, exercise regimens, nutritional programs, etc. Harnessing the Source of Power in Our Brain State-of-the-art methods for increasing control over the brain Why brain chemicals affect our thoughts and behavior How a shortage of brain chemicals affects our performance Harmful consequences of too many neurotransmitters. How understanding our unique neurochemical make-up can lead to more self confidence and increased performance Using brain chemistry to enhance balance in our lives A Biochemical Model of Behavior The impact of biochemistry on our behavior How this rapidly changing field holds the key to making lasting changes How thoughts can change brain chemistry and how brain chemistry can actually change thoughts Day Two The Central Nervous System How the central nervous system can change brain chemistry How consistent healthy behavior can have a powerful impact on brain chemistry How diet, activity, behavior and spiritual beliefs affect brain chemistry Depression and Anxiety The most common mood disorders How to prevent or treat them safely and without drugs How thinking affects moods and behavior Protocols that correct these disorders ADHD Over-diagnosed and under-exercised children Simple and effective methods for managing the bright and inquisitive indigo and crystal children Optimizing Brain Chemistry The role of food, supplements and attitude in optimizing brain chemistry and behavior Light, electrotherapy, and sound as adjuncts in therapy"
