Mind, Brain and Relationships in the Cultivation of Well-Being

- Develop a coherent narrative and the sensemaking process of self-reflection
- Outline how to identify unresolved trauma or loss within the narrative process

“I am learning more throughout this course than I did in grad school. And, so far, the first Q and A has been incredibly valuable. It feels as if I am in a classroom with the opportunity to engage the professor (which is lacking these days) …I often refer to [Dr. Siegel’s] work and recommend [his] books to my clients. … Since starting the program – after having read most of [Dr. Siegel’s] books – everything is clicking.”
