Keeping the Brain in Mind: Practical Neuroscience for Coaches, Therapists, and Hypnosis Practitioners

Melissa Tiers is gifted in her ability to explain complex neuroscience simply. She describes theories of how the mind and brain work together to create, maintain and resolve problems more clearly than anyone. She describes the basic processes that neuroscience is discovering in a remarkably simple, clear and delightful conversational manner. It is amazing how much information she can distill on these pages to explain what is going on with our mind and brain. Using this information she presents more effective strategies and faster techniques for getting the mind to rewire the brain to help people change life long patterns. She offers practical step by step advice on just how to do this in sessions.She is an incredible teacher and this book is an example of the depth of her knowledge and the clarity of her explanations. It is written in a wonderful manner to also give you the feeling of her energy, humor and dedication to helping people change and helping helpers help their clients more effectively. (that is a lot of help for one book and it is all in there to help you be even better)I recommend this book to anyone in a profession that focuses on working with people to give them the tools to change their lives. Actually it can be useful for anyone curious about how their brain processes information, how memory works, and how the mind can use the brain to help people get unstuck and move forward.Larry Drell, MDMedical DirectorAnxiety and Depression Therapy ServicesWashington, DCwww.drdrell.com

I found "Keeping the brain in mind" a fascinating and highly educational book. Even though the subject of neuroscience can be a dry one, the authors Shawn Carson and Melissa Tiers created a rather fascinating read instead. It kept my interest till the end.The book is not only great for anyone in the hypnosis/coaching/therapy field but is also a great tool to use for self-development. It is full of metaphors, techniques, and explanations of the way our mind works and this has been extremely helpful in my coaching/hypnosis practice. The book has given me a much deeper insight on my own behavioral tendencies which has helped me create a better approach to the changes I desire for myself.D. Edwards, CH, LMT

This book helps one understand a little bit about unconscious processes and how to leverage that understanding into positive and lasting change. I highly recommend the book to anyone curious about how the mind works. The writing is straightforward and easy to understand, which is a big plus. A worthwhile read.

When I went to nursing school you learn that the brain was important ...and very little you can change...there was no words as neuroplasticity..mirror neurons..memory reconsiidation. Here comes along Shawn Carson to tell you that these words exist, even when spell check says not so..Shawn and his co-writer, Melissa Tiers.. not only took theses words and the latest research..defined it for you and then tell you how to use it as a coach..therapist..and in hypnosis. This book is great if you want to be the best at what you do. A must book. You must read.

I had the chance to take a workshop with Melissa Tiers and it has revolutionized my work as a hypnotherapist. This book reiterates what Melissa teaches and takes a potentially complicated subject and makes it very approachable. I would highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to understand how to create lasting change within the brain through the process of neuroplasticity.

This is one of the clearest, most comprehensive books on current brain research around. The information about what is happening chemically and neurologically is so useful and affirming for me as a psychotherapist and reassuring to the people I work with as it explains what is happening in their minds.Every person will be able to find help and support in these pages for understanding what leads us to the choices we make. It is a guide to emotional freedom for people in and out of the helping professions. .

Elegant how Melissa and her colleagues weave practical coaching methods together with complex neuroscientific concepts. Practitioners and clients have practical clinical application and proof to support belief, made simple to understand by the writers unique styles. As the authors emphasize, those who need to grasp the reasons why the methods work, (namely all of us), now can be empowered by mind/brain/body evidence from the same irrefutable methods (fMRI) which traditional psychotherapeutic, phmarmacologic research science employs. Doubters can suspend their disbelief now. Thank you for connecting the empirical proof with what some of us knew to work only by intuition, trust, and experience until now!

Super! AS a hypnosis practitioner and New Thought minister I think this book is great It's well organized and presents a good history of the evolution of thought, research, and results working with the brain. There are reasonably simple exercise that can be taught to clients that are effective. I am delighted to have the booi..

This is super-current and extremeley readable, especially considering the depth and nature of content. The authors explain very clearly and constantly relate the theory back to practical applications. As an NLP Trainer and mBIT coach, this book chimes fully with the research brought together by Grant Soosalu and Marvin Oka in the field of mBraining (www.mBraining.com) and I highly recommend reading both books to gain a holistic picture of all of our neurological potential. Great resource, highly recommended.

Love this book. Very useful and although some of the details are so new to me the way they are explained and positioned in how to apply to coaching is very helpful

After seeing Melissa at an hypnosis convention I was intrigued by her methods. I tried them and they worked. This book explains why they work. The book is well written, easy to to follow. More importantly self-directed neuron plasticity is a reality and works.

There's a lot to learn in this book. The ideas are presented clearly and the examples given between the change-worker and client throughout the book are really helpful. Worth a read for anyone who wants to help others through coaching or counselling.

Fascinating and instantly accessible. Evidencing NLP with Neuroscience. Great material for Coaches and Change-makers.
