The Human Mind: Why We Think, Feel and Behave the Way We Do

SESSION Abstract: The Human Mind: Why We Think, Feel and Behave the Way We Do


"Why do we react differently under pressure, struggle to change habits, or sometimes say and do things we later regret? This practical and accessible session explores how the brain, body, and nervous system shape our thoughts, emotions, behaviours, and relationships. Drawing on neuroscience, psychology, and real-world experience, Jo Dowley unpacks how the brain’s primary role is to keep us safe, how much of our behaviour is driven by prediction rather than conscious choice, and how stress changes the way we think, feel, and connect with others. Through relatable examples and interactive reflection, participants will explore how the brain and nervous system remain changeable throughout life - and how small, repeated actions can create meaningful and lasting change
