🔴 August Webinar - Dr Mary Bowles – Doctor of Psychology.

Topic: Love, Lies & Limbic Systems: What Neuroscience Actually Says About Our Relationships.

In this webinar, participants will examine widely held relationship assumptions through the lens of contemporary neuroscience — including emotion science, attachment and bonding research, parental brain plasticity, predictive processing, epigenetics, and social perception. Each section pairs a familiar cultural script with the neuroscience that complicates or contradicts it, then translates the science into practical implications for how we relate to partners, children, and ourselves.
