The impact of digital dependency – reduced capacities of attention, concentration and memory, has become a pressing mental health concern that therapists are just beginning to address. In the digital world we are all overwhelmed by the overload of information, constant interruptions, pop ups, having to remember multiple passwords and various components of computer programs that are constantly updated which require that we need to remember them all over again. This results in shorter attention span and memory problems which is frustrating and sometimes embarrassing.
The more we understand about how the brain functions, the more techniques we have to improve and increase our memory.

You’ll learn (and remember!) how memories are formed, the difference between implicit and explicit memory, how the senses are linked to memory, and how to tweak your diet and exercise routines to strengthen memory. We’ll explore and rehearse a variety of cognitive exercises and techniques (including visualization, use of novelty, and “chunking”) to keep memories from fading, organize them in your mind, and maintain easy access to both the memories of a lifetime and the details of everyday life.
In order to join us in this new seminar, you will be required to log in at a certain time but, don’t worry: we will send you a reminder.
And, if you ‘forget” (!), don’t worry: we will send a replay so that you can watch later at a time convenient to you!
