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.”

Not a problem! We will record each live Q&A for viewing by course participants at any other time convenient to their schedule.
The course itself contains 36 total hours of video content and each segment will be rolled out in its corresponding month during this 6-month course (weekly for the 6-week version). Ultimately, this is a self-paced program and you will be able to learn at your convenience. In other words, there are no limits on how or when you digest the information. Even if you are interested in CEUs, you can take exams as your schedule allows.
The only dedicated times we have scheduled are for the live Q & A sessions and even those are recorded and archived for future viewing.
You will be able to take in the course content whenever convenient in your schedule. Also the Q & A sessions will be offered live monthly, and recorded, so you will be able to listen at your convenience. Finally, our global, online community will be available to you anytime for discussion with other students.
The course is a self-paced program that does not require live attendance. The only times that we have scheduled are for the live Q & A sessions and we have done our best to accommodate our students from around the globe. Our current course has participants from over 20 countries. Also, we will record each session so you can view it at your convenience.
In addition, we would encourage you to keep in contact with other students and our team here at the Mindsight Institute via the online learning community. This will be a great resource for you and will offer you the opportunity to exchange ideas with other students, and even submit questions for Dr. Siegel if you cannot make any of the live Q & As.
You can pay for the course upfront with either Paypal or Credit Card or enroll in our monthly payment plan. The monthly payment plan is only available for credit cards.
During these challenging times, we decided to not only reduce the overall cost of the course, but also to provide a longer payment plan that results in a lower monthly cost.

The online community will be a gathering place for additional learning and sharing and will be made up of your peers who are also registered for the class. This will also be the location where all notices, reminders, and more information will be shared from the Mindsight Institute and Dr. Siegel. Once you enroll in the course, you will get an email invitation with all of the instructions to join the online learning community.
We have found that planning ahead for 6-months can be difficult for some schedules, so we wanted to offer something that could provide more options.
The only differences would be in the timing of delivery for the course content and the schedule of the live Q & A Sessions (weekly for the 6-week version / monthly for the 6-month version). The content of the course is the same and you will also be a part of an online learning community.
Each segment will be distributed weekly. The first segment will become available to you by August 22, 2022 and then each subsequent segment will be delivered on the following Monday of the next week.
