The Heart of CIRS Podcast Exclusive Content showcases leaders, visionaries and wellness professionals outside the CIRS community who hold skills and information which may be of benefit for CIRS folks and their recovery.
This first exclusive conversation is with my colleague and past Internal Family Systems guide, Justine Dawson. She is an amazing woman and coach interested in desire, intimacy and connection with a strong dharma meditation background. I wanted to do an episode touching into how CIRS folks can lean into pleasure and desire again as they begin to heal as these areas of life certainly get put on the back burner for awhile. How can we improve intimacy and our relationships, romantic and non, with CIRS? I hope you’ll enjoy this topic and conversation.

The Heart of CIRS Podcast Exclusive Content showcases leaders, visionaries and wellness professionals outside the CIRS community who hold skills and information which may be of benefit for CIRS folks and their recovery.
Dr. Henry Mahncke is the CEO of Posit Science of BrainHQ. BrainHQ is the online brain training program I have used since 4 months into my CIRS diagnosis through fun, online games. Henry joined Posit Science at its inception in 2003 as Vice President of Research & Outcomes, where he led the first large-scale clinical trials of a publicly available cognitive training program. He became CEO of Posit Science in 2011. Previously, he served as consultant at McKinsey focused on health care and video games, and then as a science and technology advisor to the British government. Dr. Mahncke earned his PhD in Neuroscience at the University of California, San Francisco, where he studied brain plasticity with Dr. Michael Merzenich.
I hope you’ll enjoy this conversation around brain health and the games of BrainHQ. Maybe this will be a fun add to your own brain health recovery. Check out the free games and subscriptions: https://www.brainhq.com/
