New fields in neuroscience are sprouting up empirically, testing real world applications of neuroplasticity and neurogenesis. Researchers at University of Pennsylvania and Duke University promote studying brain wellness by embracing cognitive, emotional, behavioral, and spiritual applications of neuroplasticity. There are common slogans used in brain wellness, such as “use it or lose it,” “train it and regain it,” or “adventure prevents dementia.”
In a three–page paper, answer the following:
· Provide specific examples in your own life that would demonstrate brain wellness across the four categories of cognitive, emotional, behavioral, and spiritual strategies.
· Define neuroplasticity and neurogenesis in your paper.
· Compare and contrast two timeframes in your own life: How did you think of neuroplasticity as applied to you when you were younger? Contrast this to your current concepts of neuroplasticity and aging.
· What does epigenetic theory (review week one if you need to) and neuroscience teach us in regards to how we live our lives?
DIVERSITY CHALLENGES AND REFLECTIONS
Couples and family counseling often involves understanding and integrating diverse influences on the system’s presenting issues, as well as ongoing wellness and development of the system. Counselors must be aware not only of these influences, but also the manner in which they may impact the system members—differing degrees, perceptions, and meaning. In addition, the intersection of multiple diversity issues can create another layer of challenges for couples and families.
Familiarizing yourself with multicultural standards of practice is a first step in developing cultural competencies, as is exploring your own thoughts and beliefs regarding diversity. For this Assignment, you consider a point in your life when your family was touched by diversity, discuss how it affected your family, and how such an issue might be handled in a counseling session.
In your Journal, identify a time where diversity touched your family. Based on this time, answer the following questions:
· What impact did this time have on your family?
· Hypothetically, if you addressed the issue in a family counseling session, what do you think the counselor should know and explore with your family to fully address the issue?
· How will you be sensitive to the impact diversity has on families and couples in your own professional practice?
