We all know that stress contributes to disease and worse health outcomes; so why can’t we take advantage of this phenomenon and use our thoughts and emotions to help ourselves more?
In this workshop, you’ll learn how the field of neuroimmunology has identified biological and chemical pathways connecting emotional experiences into physical manifestations including certain autoimmune disorders.
You’ll also learn interventions designed from these findings, to help individuals take advantage of their mind/body connection for achieving their health goals.
You will have the opportunity to create your own “Thought Boss” ideation for using this phenomena to help you achieve your goals. You’ll leave with a completed new worksheet or applying this technique to your daily life.
