Resilient Lebanese Minds: The Neuroscience, Psychology and Biology of Trauma.
by CEREC Comms Department
In this thought-provoking episode, we explore how trauma reshapes the brain and why understanding its biological and psychological roots is essential for healing. We examine key differences between male and female brain responses, address common misconceptions, and consider the powerful role spirituality plays in building resilience. The episode also reflects on popular sayings passed down through generations and how they shape our understanding of resilience. Through the lens of neuroscience, psychology, and biology, we explore what it truly means to be resilient—particularly what defines a resilient Lebanese.
Our latest podcast episode with Professor Maha Hoteit takes a closer look at trans fats— what it is, why it’s harmful, and the urgent need for stronger policies to protect public health.
