    “I researched it before I came here. Because of the program Dr. Skolnick was running…The reason why I came to this facility was because of the work I think it would help our patients with….[then] I heard from the patients great things. The reviews that I heard from then personally really encouraged me that this is something that is definitely needed in our healthcare system… Yes, you’re the reason that I came.”

    Key, Universal Facts

    Your Patients Will Learn
    In Our Curriculum

    Everyone struggles with life crises and emotional issues

    They are not alone. There is no difference between them, staff, and other people.

    Human brains are prewired to create suffering

    Stress and suffering do not come from life events.
    “Tunnel Vision” in the brain warps the human mind and causes unhappiness, stress, anxiety, and frustration.

    Human brains have an astonishing built-in feature

    It allows self-awareness that leads to wisdom, spontaneity, joy, and profound fulfillment—no matter what is happening. We call that “Perspective.”

    We can learn to maneuver our brain into Perspective

    Through recognizing Tunnel Vision as it appears Through a series of skills called BrainShifting (which begin with mindfulness) Through strategies within 6-spheres of wellness that shift the brain naturally

    Crises, hardships, and adversity can be an advantage

    They make BrainShifting easier. They shift the brain into Perspective automatically
