Many people take a few deep breaths when they’ve feeling overcome by stress, and the adage, “just breathe” appears on everything from billboards to t-shirts.

Blog postNew research pairing virtual navigation with brain scans finds that stress makes people less able to make efficient and effective plans. Remembering past events is key to keeping us safe in the present. For example, recalling the pain of touching a hot stove often prevents us from doing it again.

Blog postA new study from Yale University shows where people’s experience of intense emotion occurs in the brain, paving the way for new strategies to treat chronic stress. Stress, anxiety and fear can have a debilitating impact on our lives, particularly as our society struggles to cope with a global pandemic and social unrest. This effect occurs, in part, because intense emotions activate the brain’s fear network, releasing hormones called glutocorticoids that trigger the fight, flight and freeze re10 months ago Read more

A growing body of research finds that mindful people tend to be happier and feel less stressed. We’re not entirely sure why this happens. One possible explanation is that mindful individuals have an easier time taking life’s challenges in stride, and are more flexible in the ways they deal with difficulties. This, in turn, may improve their health and we11 months ago Read more

Mindful Relationships
Nov 9, 2016
$21.97
Human existence depends on relationships. Our brains rely on interconnected neural networks to function. Our minds relentlessly encode complex matrices of meaning to make sense of the world. And our physical and psychological development is contingent on the social bonds we share with others.
Mindful Relationships: The Seven Skills for Success integrates the science of mind, body and brain to reveal how stress undermines these relationships, and what we can do about it.
Chronic stress threatens our wellbeing and relationship success by creating systemic dysregulation of the mind, body and brain.
This dysregulation leaves us relying on primal defense strategies like aggression and withdrawal, and inhibits key cognitive-behavioral capacities essential to relationship success such as accurate appraisal, effective coping, and coherent communication.
The inspirational and accessible book introduces the BREATHE model – an evidence-rich approach that synthesizes the science of mind, body and brain to alleviate stress, increase self-awareness, self-regulation, and emotional intelligence, and cultivate resilient social bonds.
These Seven Skills are essential tools for creating and maintaining a healthy, harmonious, and successful relationship with yourself and others.
Filled with sound science, engaging stories and experiential exercises, this book is bound to change the way that you relate to your life and those in it.
