Psychic Numbing vs Moral Disengagement: When the brain protects but the mind looks away
When the world feels heavy, the brain adapts. Learn the critical difference between psychic numbing and moral disengagement and why understanding these psychological responses may be essential to staying connected to our humanity.
After having spent 10 years teaching both big kids and little kids (elementary school and university), I began my neuroscience research journey to understand how the brain works and how to make it work better. I recognize that not everyone is as geeky as I am, but I believe most of us want to optimize brain function for as long as we can. Beyond my work, I live in Naples, Florida and enjoy anything in the sunshine.
