NEW Flashcards for the Brain Health Program --Executive Function

We've completed our first cohort of the Professional Certificate in Brain Health -- 9 Skills . If you're interested in joining us, next semester's program on the 9 Levels begins on February 6th, 2025, click here to learn more. Feel free to reach out to me on my contact form if you have questions.

After I created 75 slides for students to use for learning and coaching purposes, I decided to turn them into drumroll......FLASHCARDS!!!

I'll go ahead and upload the FRONT and BACK of the flashcards below so it is clearer what each flashcard covered.

2D QUESTION -- FRONT SIDE of the flashcard (vs. 3D wizard brain skills)

2D DESCRIPTION -- BACK side of the flashcard:

The intention of the card deck is to hep students deepen their understanding of the course material. The card deck starts with the glossary from my 110-page workbook, which names 25 terms:

(All of these terms are covered in more detail in the flashcards.) The workbook also includes 8 Techniques, which we practiced during the peer practice sessions in the program.

In the first class we started with some fundamentals, including the definition of mind used in interpersonal neurobiology.

Here is the back of the mind flashcard so you can see the kinds of prompts that come in the form of questions:

Besides "mind," other core terms were mindsight

FRONT SIDE:

Mindsight BACK SIDE:

Throughout the program, I use "lizard brain" and "wizard brain" as memorable teaching metaphors. They aren't meant to represent literal anatomical divisions of the brain, but rather to make complex patterns and capacities easier to recognize and remember.

Next, we moved to other core concepts like Diesel Fuel FRONT SIDE:

Adding a final  link to explain more about Kind Voice.

Once the set of 53 flashcards have been proofed then I'll upload them for sale in the workshops page.

We learned so much neuroscience and shared tons of kindness and fun during our 12 live meetings, I can't express the extent of my gratitude to this first graduating cohort of 13 people. And MANY of us will continue to next semester's program.

New here and interested? There are no prerequisites to attend. This 9 Levels Brain Health Program covers completely new subjects and starts on Feb 6th, 2025, meeting Thursdays 7 to 9pm EST for 3 months for a total of 12 meetings. Some people are attending at the introductory price of $83 per group more as a support group of kindness than learning graduate level neuroscience content and that's perfect! No matter if you want to learn and become a brain health coach, you're a therapist and want to learn more on memory and attachment, or you are a lay person who wants to lead a happier life and help your friends -- you all can get benefit from the teaching format which involves a lot of interaction in the form of breakout rooms and live demonstrations.

The 9 Levels is different content compared to this one that just finished on the 9 Wizard Brain Skills.

:FUN FACT: In this interpersonal neurobiology model, the 9 Skills and 9 Levels represent a destination of greater integration as we navigate the "River of Life":
