I'll talk about initial steps for restructuring brain and mind. I’ll introduce the central role of another brain part — the cingulate gyrus - a bridge between brain and mind, biology and consciousness. This C-shaped structure wrapped around your brain's center is where a lot of the magic of being happens. When functioning properly the cingulate is a traffic director for information exchange, the vehicle for empathic connection with others, and an emotional exchange center.

The cingulate integrates emotional and cognitive information in ways that create experience. Brain scans also show it can get stuck.

Depression and anxiety often involve hyperactive rumination circuits in the cingulate. The brain mind clinical tools change brain structure and reshape biology by soothing the cingulate and bypassing the conflicted mind.
