b'Deep discussion on how the current political, international and climate crises could be viewed as a chance to transform human connection rather than be seen from a place of doom. Dr. Siegel called for us all to become pervasive leaders \\u2013 a great inspiration.\\nLook for a new interview with Dr. Siegel coming soon on his new book, Aware.\\xa0We will publish that very early into our next season which will be launched soon!\\nInterview with Dr Dan Siegel,\\xa0the father of Interpersonal Neurobiology (IPNB).\\xa0 Get a peak\\xa0into\\xa0his thoughts on building hope in our fear-based culture today, human kind across history and using this science to make changes individually and as a society.\\nSue Marriott LCSW and Patty Olwell LPC speak with Dr. Dan Siegel about the most recent finding in his new book, Mind: A Journey to the Heart of Being Human (A New York Times Best Seller).\\nDan Siegel discussed how the current political, international and climate crises could be viewed as a chance to transform human connection rather than from place of doom. He called for us all to become pervasive leaders \\u2014\\nPervasive Leadership characteristics\\xa0:\\n\\n* Change your mental model of I and Thou.\\n* Act locally; think holistically.\\n* Enact empathetic stewardship\\n\\nHuman history over time \\u2013 Sapians \\u2013 (see resource list). Homosapians have been killing their brothers and kin since the beginning of recorded time, so any current cultural unkindness is part of our hardwiring. We can rise above it, but first recognize it as human.\\nInterpersonal neurobiology \\u2013 coined by Dan Siegel in 1999 is a way of living and viewing the world with a set of principles that lead toward integration.\\nIntegration \\u2013 combining distinct specialized functions that link and connect the specializations together, creating harmony. This is a view that can be utilized within one person and across couples, families, organizations and nations.\\nIn-group/Out-group discussion and Mindsight\\nWhen a person is seen as the same, we have a natural resonance and empathy. \\xa0 If we feel safe we can extend that to those that appear Other. If we feel threat \\u2013 even if we don\\u2019t know we are feeling it (nanoseconds of a threatening photo flashed, outside of our awareness) we respond strongly by turning off our empathy for the Out-group and turning up our response to the In-group. This is the explanation for what is happening here in the United States and Britain and many places around the world where genocides are occurring. Terror is driving this IN/OUT hostile behavior.\\nWith practice this can be changed.\\nSay to yourself: My nervous system is making me treat the other person as an Out group member with more hostility, but that goes against my larger values of treating all human beings, all living beings with deep respect, as I would my In-group.\\nWe can rise above it. Rise above our brains initial proclivity towards bias and our mind to actively change how our brain ultimately carries out behavior \\u2013 to be able to see the others mind and treat them as an in-group. Compassionately, fairly.\\nOur leaders, people who run our country, organizations, educational institutions, clinicians, and people in positions to raise children\\u2026 all have brains and minds that can overcome this biologic bias. We should see them as humans with limitations. Uninformed. They need safety to let down.\\nFACES\\n\\n* Flexible\\n* Adaptive\\n* Coherent\\n* Energetic\\n* Stable\\n\\nMWE = me in a body + we in connection to others and the planet\\nEudaimonia \\u2013 Greek term that means life filled by meaning and connection and equanimity not from producing and consuming junk\\n\\xa0\\nJoin our email list at\\xa0www.therapistuncensored.com\\xa0to access our private online community supporting the dissemination of the relational sciences to support healthy ...'
