Heal Painful Patterns

It is never too late to heal painful patterns with new understanding. Listen in on a Wired to Connect audio conversation between Daniel Goleman, bestselling author of Emotional Intelligence, and Daniel Siegel, clinical professor of psychiatry at UCLA.

• Understand how our parents' behavior impacts our mental, neural, and social development.
• Learn how self-reflection and awareness transform our relationships with our children, spouses, and selves.
• Discover how emotional habits can change at any age.

In this insightful exploration, Daniel Siegel and Daniel Goleman explain how our relationships shape our emotional habits - and the brain itself.
