Mindsight: Changing the Brain, Changing Relationships

What Is Mindsight? Mindsight is the ability to perceive the inner workings of the mind in our selves and others. This vital human capacity is the mechanism underlying social and emotional intelligence and, thus, plays a significant part in promoting wellbeing. Most importantly, it is not something one must be born with. Mindsight is largely a learnable skill.

Based on the emerging field of interpersonal neurobiology, a Mindsight approach defines a core aspect of the mind as a regulatory process that is both embodied and relational. Regulation is composed of monitoring and, consequently, modifying functions: In other words, when we can see the inner world clearly, we can shape how it functions effectively.
