In it we will explore new conceptualizations of emotion and how it differs from feeling. We will also explore how memory, mirror neurons, attachment and genetics play significant roles in our interactions with others. We will also explore the science of priming and how secure base priming can possibly be utilized as an intervention with domestic violence clients.
