The Neuro Change Method
The Neuro Change Method is a new evidence-based brain and mind change process from The Neuro Change Institute® to help clients transform their lives.
What Does It Mean To Be Evidence-Based?
Being evidence-based means making decisions and formulating practices supported by rigorous, empirical evidence from well-designed research studies or reliable sources. This approach involves using scientific research, data, and proven outcomes to guide actions rather than relying solely on anecdotal evidence, personal experience, or beliefs.

The Science of Mental Health
Module One:
What is Mental Health?
We start the session by checking our intuitive understanding of mental health against the research literature. You get a strong sense of the warning signs of poor mental health, and what good mental health looks like.
Module Two:
Support Your Brain Health To Support Your Mental Health
Mental and physical health are so closely intertwined that it is hard to separate them. The most foundational element of good mental health is good brain health. This module investigates why you need a healthy brain, and how you can go about supporting brain health.
Module Three:
Psychological Well-Being
In addition to your brain health, mental health is influenced by your psychological well-being. Psychological well-being has three elements: hedonic well-being, eudaimonic well-being, and resilience.
Module Four:
The Science Of Emotional Regulation
Good mental health is strongly correlated with good emotional regulation. Emotional regulation is a key component of hedonic well-being. By regulating your emotional responses, you can:
- Increase your levels of positive affect
- Decrease any harmful effects of challenging emotions
- Improve your mood
- Experience more affection and connection in your everyday life
- Feel more satisfied with your life
- Feel more interested in and engaged with the projects in your life
Module Five:
Change Your Stress Mindset By Rethinking What You Know About Stress
Using the same functional model that Module 4 uses for emotions, we try to express the value of stress. By understanding the physiology of your stress response, you can:
- Change your stress mindset
- Improve your stress response growth index
- Choose the stress response that is most appropriate for the situation
Module Six:
Finding Meaning In Life
Meaning and purpose have a big influence on your eudaimonic well-being. By examining your purpose and values, you can:
- Feel that your life has meaning
- Increase your sense of competence, control, or autonomy
- Increase your self-acceptance and personal expressiveness
- Rethink stress in your life
Module Seven:
Maintaining Good Mental Healthy By Building Resilience
Resilience is the ability to withstand adversity and bounce back from difficult life events. It promotes a process of positive adaptation in the face of challenging circumstances while maintaining mental health. It is about being able to reach into your inner reserves and reach out to others for support. By building resilience, you can maintain a good level of hedonic well-being. Being resilient also helps you to live into your values and purpose.
Module Eight:
How Do I Know if My Mental Health Is Improving?
The activities we have used in this session give you a clear indication of where your mental health is right now. After learning more about emotional regulation, stress mindsets, meaning in life, and cultivating resilience, your mental health will hopefully continue to improve, even after this session is done. This module considers some of the ways you can measure whether your mental health is indeed improving over time.
