Trauma and Inner Healing
Trauma
Everyone has experienced some form of trauma in their lives. Trauma causes structural changes in the brain involving a hyperactive amygdala (fear center) and a smaller hippocampus (memory center.) The result is a prolonged "fight-or-flight" state in the prefrontal cortex, the part involved in decision-making, problem solving and reasoning. This brain disruption and hyper stress response affects our neuroception and skews our perception.
Untreated trauma causes long-term fatigue, sleep disturbances, pain and cognitive issues. Untreated trauma often leads to substance abuse, self-harm and highly dysfunctional relationship patterns. It impacts physical, mental and cognitive health, often contributing to chronic conditions like PTSD, depression, anxiety, cardiovascular disease and autoimmune disorders. The "trauma in our lives is not DNA" and therefore -- healing is possible!
All 3 parts of the brain are designed to work together creating neuroplasticity. This is the goal.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a form of psychological treatment that has been demonstrated to be effective for a range of problems including depression, anxiety disorders, alcohol and drug use problems, eating disorders and severe mental illness. Numerous studies suggest that CBT leads to significant improvement in functioning and quality of life. CBT has been demonstrated to be as effective, if not more effective than other forms of psychological therapy or psychiatric medications.
IASIS Neurofeedback Therapy
Painful experiences and trauma build up in the brain. IASIS Micro Current Neurofeedback (MCN) is an emerging treatment designed to help the brain ‘reboot’ itself, using brainwave feedback and microcurrent stimulation to help create new brain wave patterns and performance. Improving brain function positively impacts the nervous system to support a thriving life. This allows for the delicate release of unhealthy and dysfunctional brain patterns—leaving healthy ones to flourish and grow.
