Throughout your career, training is an essential part of your job which gives you the ability to react without having to "think" about what you are doing. Brain science is the reason WHY some reactions are different, and it occurs unconsciously. Why do you remember colors, smells, sounds, tastes, or textures but cannot remember how many times you fired your weapon or the exact timeline of certain events? Why does unintentional recall happen when we hear a certain noise? Why does our "thinking brain" shut down, as do many bodily functions, when we are stressed? Why do we sometimes lose the ability to put words to situations and react only with our "senses"? During this session, we will look at what actually happens in your brain and how it impacts you, your career, and your family and how you can create a plan to offset stressors and mitigate stress.
