The 13 Millisecond Problem; The Neuroscience of Implicit Bias & the Stories We Tell Ourselves

Description

DESCRIPTION Looking around our world, it is hard to miss how polarized we all are and the fallout of the prevailing “Us and them” worldview. But why is it like this? Why do we fight each other even to the point of causing harm to ourselves? This session will take you step-by-step through the neurobiology of our defense network tying it to our real-world experiences. Understanding the biology of our nature can help reduce shame, increase ownership, and improve our ability to tell ourselves – and each other – more accurate stories so we can find our way back to each other. OBJECTIVES 1) Explain the neurobiological mechanism of implicit bias in “user-friendly” terms 2) Recognize and address specific mental patterns that contribute to distorted ethical perspectives BIO Hannah Smith, MA, LMHC, CGP (She/Her), is the founder of Potential Finders Network, LLC and is a book author and blog writer, consultant, aspiring activist, international board-certified group psychotherapist (CGP), and national educator from the Seattle area.
