Gentle Reminder:
Everything offered through The Great Discovery (TGD)—whether it’s a workshop, conversation, or shared resource—is meant to support your personal growth and self-discovery. While I bring the wisdom of nearly 30 years as a licensed psychologist, these offerings are not clinical services and are not a substitute for therapy or medical care.
If you’re struggling with your mental health or facing a crisis, please reach out to a licensed mental health professional in your area. You deserve support that meets your unique needs—TGD is here to walk alongside you, not to replace that care.
In this lesson, Dr. Akhu introduces a simple model of the brain to help you understand what happens during moments of stress. This practical, visual approach makes brain science accessible, memorable, and easier to grasp.
No prior knowledge is needed. This course is designed for beginners and anyone curious about how the brain responds to stress. Just bring an open mind and a willingness to learn.
