Brain and Behavior
How our brain influences our physical and emotional health

Your brain is a remarkable organ that adapts based on what it has been exposed to, working tirelessly to protect you and maintain your health and safety. The experiences you encounter—whether positive or negative—shapes the foundation for your decision-making and reactions. This influence is especially significant during key developmental stages, such as before birth, childhood, and adolescence. By recognizing the impact of these early exposures, you can gain insights into your choices and responses to various situations, including challenging relationships. With this understanding, you have the power to change how your brain reacts, allowing you greater control over your decisions and responses. This self-awareness empowers you to change the way your brain responds, giving you greater control over your choices and reactions. Ultimately, this process can enhance both your physical and emotional well-being, paving the way for a healthier future.
