Understanding Ourselves
Exploring Why We Think, Feel, and Behave the Way We Do
This course designed specifically for young people provides a comprehensive look into the human brain and its profound influence on our daily lives.
Participants will delve into the brain's triune system, understanding how the Reptilian, Limbic, and Prefrontal Cortex work together to regulate basic functions, emotions, and rational thinking. The course will also explore the impact of upbringing, experiences, and traumas on shaping our beliefs, thoughts, and behaviors.
Through interactive sessions and discussions, participants will gain insights into core beliefs, negative thinking patterns, and common behavioural responses such as fight, flight, and freeze. This knowledge will empower them to manage their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors effectively, fostering resilience and personal growth.
