“We have become addicted to stress. We think stress is normal. The stress chemicals in our body are killing us; that’s the root cause of our addictions, our emotional/behavioral health problems, and even cancer, diabetes, and heart disease. It’s all about stress.”  –  Dr. Laurel Mellin

Dr. Laurel Mellin is the founder of Emotional Brain Training (EBT), a neuroscience-based solution to stress.

She is a health psychologist and Associate Clinical Professor of Family and Community Medicine and Pediatrics, School of Medicine, University of California, San Francisco.

Dr. Mellin is a New York Times bestselling author, researcher, speaker, and clinical trainer.

EBT is the only method that maps the emotional brain; the seat of health, happiness, spirituality, relationships, and productivity in a structured way that empowers people to self-direct their own emotional health and well-being.

EBT trains individuals in the brain-based emotional tools to get from stress to joy and to rewire circuits that cause overeating, anxiety, depression, and other stress-related problems. The mission of EBT is to empower people to use the tools to emotionally connect with themselves and others to move forward in life — rewiring the brain’s emotional set point.

As the set point moves up, the reward centers of the brain switch from being dependent on artificial rewards that ramp up stress to relying on the natural, sustainable rewards of a purposeful life: sanctuary, authenticity, vibrancy, integrity, intimacy, spirituality, and freedom.
