Podcasts
We’ve got emotions and behaviors backward. Common misconceptions about emotions and behaviors impact everything from how we parent, to how a judge sentences youth in their courtroom. Illuminating the neural origins of emotion and behavior can bring relief to parents, youth, and direct care staff. This podcast is intended to do just that. Think “Car Talk” meets neuroscience.
