Iranian Future Leaders
in partnership with Personal Growth Institute Present
The Neuroscience
of Overcoming
Destructive Habits & Emotions
Come & join us for a day of
discussion about The Answer Model, an exciting new
model of human behavior that is also a powerful method
of healing, psychotherapy,
and personal growth.
Presenters:
John Montgomery, Ph.D. Neuroscientist, Counselor
Todd Ritchey, Addiction and Behavioral Counselor
Foojan Zeine, Psy.D., Psychotherapist
John and Todd will discuss The
Answer Model, which suggests that the brain receives
unconscious biochemical rewards from destructive habits
– such as chronic procrastination, worry, and self-sabotage;
and from negative emotional states – such as chronic
anger, hurt, regret, and self-pity. Neuroscientists
have found that stress hormones released during these
states have effects in the brain that are almost identical
to the effects of addictive drugs like cocaine or methamphetamine.
The Answer Model proposes that nearly all of us develop
literal biochemical addictions to various distressing
emotional and behavioral patterns. The model also presents
a powerful curative method that involves no medication,
but instead shows people how they can overcome their
core “emotional” addictions by deriving biochemical
payoffs in healthy, rather than self-destructive ways.
Foojan will discuss how our cultural heritage influences
whether we engage in healthy or destructive patterns.
John and Todd will also be available to sign
their new book, The Answer Model: A new path to healing.
