As we get into the nitty gritty of the resilient brain, Clare does a phenomenal job of explaining how our brain is created to keep us safe, but that can work against us! She explains:

• How feelings are created.
• How to manage the part of the brain that creates the flight/freeze mode.
• How to change your results by changing the response time between an event and a thought.
