Learning & Memory

Clifton Mitchell, PhD

Most people know more about how to program their DVR than their own mind! In this Learning & Memory Course Dr. Mitchell's presentation will teach you how to program the first computer you ever owned--your mind. This entertaining, educational presentation teaches the primary principles governing how your mind-computer works and provides the essential tools for effective mind-management. Understanding these principles will radically intensify the impact of your counseling communications upon clients and increase your therapeutic effectiveness. In addition, these principles provide you with the mental tools necessary for molding yourself into the person you want to be and for reaching your personally desired goals. This is an intermediate course intended for practicing clinicians.

Much of the change is attributed to the right hemisphere and its link to consciousness.

This is an intermediate course intended for practicing clinicians.

Learning Objectives

1. Describe the function of the ego from an Eastern philosophical perspective.
2. Describe the development of the more spiritually based right hemisphere.
