Futurehealth Workshop by Richard Soutar Our neurophysiological organization is such that we routinize our responses to all situations and once the routines are established to act reflexively or automatically to the fast majority of future situations unless they are novel. As a consequence we tend to become prisoners of our own habitual patterns. If those patterns are not well matched to our environment we may misinterpret what we perceive and respond inaccurately. The result can be unproductive conflict or neglect resulting in lack of access to social resources. This workshop focuses on methods of identifying key domains of routinization that pertain to social interaction that are counterproductive. Methods of transforming these patterns utilizing neurofeedback, self-awareness training, visualization and insight will be explored.
This workshop will present a comprehensive psycho-social theory concerning human behavior that integrates a large number of major psychological and sociological theories. The main postulates underlying this theory revolve around the concepts of routinization of information in the CNS, the automatic nature of human behavior, the unanticipated social consequences of automatic behavior, the requirement of social accuracy for an organism to thrive, and the drive for maturation through social interaction that all humans share. The theory hypothesizes that we are automatic in our behavior and consequently are generally limited in growth options and development by past conditioning that directs that automatic behavior. Through self-awareness training we can become aware of our automatic responses and develop a conscious plan and method to alter it. If our alterations increase our social accuracy, then we can acquire the social resources we need to thrive. Once we thrive we begin to develop in social maturity through insights emerging from efficient interactions toward our perceived goals. This transformative process leads toward transcendence. Attendees will be provided with means to objectively measures dimensions of behavior and transform them through methods of self-awareness training (Neurofeedback), emotional intelligence training, visualization training, concentration training, and deep states training.
