Personal transformation through psychotherapy
Ever wish you could change who you are? To an extent, says psychotherapist Daniel Siegel, you can. In his new book "Mindsight: The New Science of Personal Transformation" Siegel details his technique for helping people deal with traumatic memories, undesirable or counterproductive behavior, and irrational fears. Siegel attempts to unite the theories of brain science and psychotherapy to argue that you can literally change the wiring of your own brain.
