Self Directed Neuroplasticity Healing From Trauma

Self directed neuroplasticity is like any training I've ever done where learning through repetition under controlled stress was the tool used to create change, whether it was in the ARMY, law enforcement, or the railroad, it's all (methodically organized) Self directed neuroplasticity. 

Along with strengthening the pathways of our desired default through stress, deliberately stopping the old negative actions takes advantage of the phenomenon, atrophy.  We hear the word atrophy, and can automatically apply a negative outlook to it; muscular atrophy, psychic atrophy, etc. In this regard however, we are using it to our advantage. 

If we know atrophy occurrs in the human body, the thing we can do is decide what we let atrophy, and what we consciously grow and strengthen out of atrophy. Bad habits in the human condition are something we can let atrophy, while good habits are something we can exercise Self directed neuropasticity with. 

The key to using Self directed neuroplasticy to heal is practicing and reinforcing default measures to wake the higher functioning parts of the brain up when stress knocks it unconscious, so when stress knocks it unconscious we're already using muscle memory to wake it back up as quickly and efficently as humanly possible.

Since healing from psychological trauma is a precise subject, it's important we find people who understand what they are talking about. I we don't waste my time, my energy, or exacerbate the mental turmoil I'd already been dealing with.  

If you are dealing with psychological trauma, talking to a family counselor may or may not help, and actually could be re-traumatizing. I have experienced being re-traumatized by mental health professionals numerous times, and I have also received life changing help from the right therapists, so I understand the importance of the therapist not only understanding what they are talking about book-wise, but hearing  

I want to be able to have the confidence they understand why I feel the way I feel without me having to explain it, and they can help me see stuck points my survival brain created for me to bypass.

When you find the person's style that you resonate with best, you'll know better what you're looking for, and remember every therapist you talk to is a person just like you. They have life problems they are working out just like anyone else. 

Just because I am building this webite, It may not be me you gain the best understanding from, and it doesn't have to be. I am not for everybody, I don't know everything, and this is okay. I'm not from the clinical world, and you may want to learn from someone there. 

What's important is you find the answers you've been looking for, so you feel a greater sense of peace and settlement in your system than you had before finding them; and that you're able to do this in the present moment.
