Week 1 - Creating the Foundations

In our first session, we explored how the brain works, why we can get stuck in unhelpful patterns of thinking, and how we can begin creating positive change. We also reflected on where we are now and where we'd like to be, before finishing with a relaxing hypnosis session.

Week 1 - PowerPoint Slides

I've also included the PowerPoint slides from the session, so you can revisit the key ideas whenever you like, or use them as a little refresher after watching the replay.

The Brain Doodles

I've also included the doodles from the session. They may not be gallery-worthy, but hopefully they'll help bring back the explanations and key ideas!
