She is a communication pathologist and cognitive neuroscientist with a Masters's and Ph.D. in Communication Pathology and a BSc in Logopaedics, specializing in cognitive and metacognitive neuropsychology. Since the early 1980s she has researched the mind-brain connection, the nature of mental health, and the formation of memory. She was one of the first in her field to study how the brain can change (neuroplasticity) with directed mind input. Today, Dr. Caroline shares with us how much your mind controls your body, and how to free ourselves from perfectionism. Questions I asked: Can you tell us about you and how you got the idea for your book? How can we reorganize our thoughts to improve our mental mess?
