askapsychologist hashtag performance

#AskAPsychologist invites users to engage in discussions about mental health, providing insights, advice, and support. It fosters community, encourages questions, empowers individuals, promotes awareness, and destigmatizes seeking psychological help.

To make our brain show up how we want, we need to understand the power of neuroplasticity–the brain's power to change and heal itself. When we become aware that the negative experiences can shape our brain's responses to social situations, we can actively work to rewire our thought patterns. Using strategies like the Creating Possibilities Protocol (CPR) from my book "Healing in Your Hands," we can guide our brain toward more positive and empowering pathways, allowing us to gain confidence and navigate social interactions with ease.

Did you know that trauma doesn’t just live in our thoughts? It’s actually encoded in the deep parts of our brain that handle emotions and survival. This means that traditional talk therapy might not always be the quickest way to heal. By working from the "bottom up"—engaging with the sensory parts of the brain—we can create real change, without risking re-traumatization. Techniques like EMDR, and others help us shift these deep-rooted patterns, leading to lasting change without having to relive the past.

CPR for the amygdala, or Creating Personal Resilience, is a technique designed to calm the mind and body during times of stress and anxiety. It involves the use of havening touch, which includes soothing motions such as palm on palm, hugging, and fingertips across the brow or under the cheeks. These motions help to decrease cortisol levels, lower blood pressure, and increase oxytocin, the feel-good hormone. Additionally, incorporating breath counting into the practice helps distract the amygdala from fear and anxiety, promoting a state of calm and connection.

Ever feel like the past is long gone, yet its effects still show up in your life? Our brain has a way of protecting us by locking away difficult memories. But even if we don’t remember, the body often holds onto that stress, affecting how we feel and show up in the world. The great news is that we have the power to heal. By creating safety within, we can help the brain release tension and move toward growth. Take a moment today to ask yourself: How can you create a sense of safety for yourself right now?

To truly feel our emotions, we need to slow down and pay attention to them. Start by naming what you're feeling, which helps calm the strong reactions that come with intense emotions. By doing this, we can better understand why we're feeling a certain way and what we might do about it. Asking questions like "What is this emotion telling me?" helps us find helpful actions. When we show gratitude for all our feelings, even the tough ones, we can learn to work with them instead of against them.

Why does happiness sometimes feel... unsettling? 🤔 It turns out that feeling happy can actually trigger anxiety for some. This might happen if past experiences have taught the brain to link joy with pain or loss. In moments of happiness, your nervous system might start expecting something bad to follow, which can create a rush of anxiety. Understanding this pattern is key to breaking it. When those old feelings pop up, take a step back and ask, Why is this happening right now? Try giving your brain a moment of pause—maybe with a quick CPR for the Amygdala exercise. It’s a simple but effective way to rewire your brain and make space for joy in the present. It’s all about leaning into healing and curiosity, even when it feels uncomfortable.

Do you ever find yourself stuck in negative thought loops that won’t let go? Your brain, specifically your Amygdala, has learned to hold onto these thoughts as a way to keep you safe. From things people said to how they spoke about themselves, these "sticky cognitions" shape your view of yourself, even if they no longer serve you. The good news? You can change the story. These thought patterns were survival strategies, but they don’t define who you are now. It's time to teach your brain what truly matters—how to feel safe, lovable, and successful in a way that works for you. Take a moment to reflect: What thought can you start to release today?

Do you ever feel like your reactions happen before you can even think? An increased startle response is one way the brain adapts to early experiences, often as a way to stay alert. This doesn’t always mean trauma; it’s a reflection of how deeply our history shapes us.

When something feels off in our mind or body, it’s easy to focus on what’s not right and get stuck in anxiety or worry.

When we try to relax, it can sometimes make us feel more anxious, especially if we've been through trauma. This happens because our brain's guard, the amygdala, stays on high alert after difficult experiences. So, when we tell ourselves to calm down, it can actually make us feel even more worked up. By acknowledging the role of the amygdala and its heightened state of vigilance, we can develop strategies to ease our anxiety more effectively. Empowering us to explore alternative relaxation methods that align with our brain's natural responses to stress.

No matter how deeply ingrained our survival skills may be, we can still unlearn them. These patterns, developed in response to childhood experiences, were initially crucial for our survival. However, recognizing that not all learned survival skills remain beneficial in our present circumstances empowers us to initiate change.

Abandonment trauma often arises from unmet childhood needs, but it can also develop later in life due to significant losses in friendships or romantic relationships. Living with abandonment trauma is challenging and can lead us to push people away, even when we want connection. In relationships, this trauma can resurface, complicating things. To heal, self-compassion and vulnerability are essential for helping us move forward and live the life we've always wanted to live.

Big events like accidents or violence can trigger a strong "fight-or-flight" response in the brain, leading to lasting trauma memories. These memories are often associated with high levels of brain activity. Even smaller events, like bullying or repeated criticism, can be traumatic if your brain perceives them as inescapable threats. This means that what one person finds traumatic might not be for another.

In this clip, Rebecca Turner, LMFT, BCN, shares how our brains respond to actual danger. When a child's cry signals something that isn’t truly dangerous—like needing to turn off the TV—it can create complex emotional responses in us. In these situations, Amy, the amygdala, may misinterpret non-threatening moments as threats, highlighting the important role we play as parents. To support our children, we should help them recognize the difference between real dangers and minor frustrations. When we intentionally apply this understanding, we can guide our kids through emotional challenges.

What shapes the way we see the world and connect with others? Our brains rely on frameworks—patterns we’ve learned over time—to process experiences and relationships. These frameworks influence how we perceive safety, love, and success. When past experiences have taught us to be wary, those lessons can impact how we trust, connect, and thrive. The exciting part? Our brains are designed to adapt. By embracing self-compassion and exploring new ways of thinking, we can reshape these patterns to create healthier relationships and a more fulfilling life.

The experience of feeling like "my brain was trying to hurt me" is a common struggle we face, especially in intense emotional situations. There’s often a noticeable sensation that our brains are working against us. The science behind this feeling lies in neurobiology. Our brains' primary job is to keep us alive while also helping us avoid pain. However, these functions can become confused, leading to distressing thoughts and feelings. Understanding these dynamics is important for dealing with our emotional challenges.

Learning to set boundaries and distinguish between your needs and wants, amidst pressures and expectations, is a challenging but essential part of healing. Needs, such as water, food, shelter, and basic utilities, are fundamental biological drives. However, wants are frequently misconstrued as needs, particularly due to complex childhood experiences. When faced with a compulsion to act, ask yourself: "Is my survival at stake if I don't do this?" If the answer is no, then it's an opportunity to know what you really want and make choices aligned with your authentic self.
