6. Compassion or Empathy? Compassion builds on Empathy
Empathy without Compassion may lead to Burnout
Over-identification (Linkage without Differentiation) leads to Burnout
Compassion is a teachable skill
Compassion, Empathy, and Kindness are interdependent but somewhat distinct processes

16. A Convergence of Findings:
All Regulation Derives from Neural Integration
Inter-Personal Attunement AND Intra-Personal Attunement Harness Similar Neural Mechanisms that Promote Neural Integration and Mental Coherence
Interpersonal Integration Cultivates Internal Neural Integration

20. Mind Your Brain, Inc., (c) 2015

21. Major Mindsight Principles
Mind viewed as a self-organizing emergent property or process that REGULATES energy and information flow
The mind is both EMBODIED and RELATIONAL
Regulation entails MONITORING and MODIFYING
Harmony emerges from integration—the linkage of differentiated elements of a system
Chaos and/or Rigidity result from impaired integration

22. The PART we play as Clinicians: Focus on Inner Experience: Presence Attunement Resonance and Trust

23. Presence and the Social Brain
What does it mean to be “present”?
Pre-Sense…
Why is presence one of the most important aspects of our interpersonal relationships?
How does presence increase telomerase, improve epigenetic regulation, and enhance immune function?
What are the connections among presence, attunement, resonance and trust (PART)?

26. Presence and the Open Plane
Transforming Stress
Thriving with Uncertainty
Openness to Possibility
Cultivating Connection
Integration and Harmony
Mind Your Brain, Inc., (c) 2015

27. Implications of the Plane of Possibility
Mental experience arises from an energy probability distribution curve
Mental representations and activities as Peaks
Mental processes of Mood, Intention and Modes as Plateaus
Awareness arises from the Open Plane where certainty is near zero and possibility is infinite
