Adoption Isn't Love Enough?

Dr. Jan Bedell • 13 February 2022

In this Brain Coach Tip, you will learn what happens to the brain when there is trauma. All children that are adopted have gone through the trauma of abandonment and rejection at the very least (even if they were adopted at birth) and often much more trauma than that.


The good news is that the brain pathways that were damaged can be rebuilt with specific stimulation. God can do miracles and often does, but typically to regain overall health after trauma, love just isn’t enough.


Dr. Jan Bedell will share with you an important issue for anyone, especially for children who've endured trauma in their early life. She teaches how to turn these negative experiences into new positive dynamics by utilizing brain training activities through the NeuroDevelopmental Approach to Life.
