Have you ever had a moment when something from your past suddenly clicks, and you feel a sense of relief? Iโve carried words from my childhood for years, words that hurt deeply. But when I finally realized those words didnโt belong to me, it was like my brain took a sigh of relief. They were just old recordings that my mind held onto to protect me. As adults, we have the power to let go of those old tapes and begin to heal. This isnโt just about my work as a neuroscientist or psychologistโitโs something deeply personal. If youโre holding onto old tapes, itโs okay to release them. Thank your brain for keeping you safe, and take that next step toward healing. What old tapes are you ready to let go of today?

To make our brain show up how we want, we need to understand the power of neuroplasticityโthe 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.

Trauma has a lasting impact on our mind and body by creating a matrix of cues that can trigger memories of the traumatic event. Over time, this can lead to heightened anxiety, hypervigilance, and avoidance behaviors as the brain seeks to protect us from perceived threats. These responses can disrupt daily life, but advances in neuroscience can reframe and reduce their influence.

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 doesnโt always mean trauma; itโs a reflection of how deeply our history shapes us. By understanding these responses, we can uncover opportunities for healing and creating positive change in how we experience the world.

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.

What shapes the foundation of self-love? From the moment we're born, our connections with caregiversโespecially mothersโplay a profound role in shaping how we see ourselves. When care is absent, neglectful, or harmful, the impact ripples through the mind and body long before we can understand or process it. This often leads to deeply rooted questions like Am I unlovable? Am I broken? These feelings can grow and affect relationships and how the world is experienced. The good news is that healing is always possible. By embracing self-love and compassion, we can rewrite the internal narrative and create space for supportive, loving relationships with ourselves and others.

Have you ever wondered why thoughts of SI (suicidal ideation) can sometimes feel like a normal part of the human experience? ๐ค Itโs actually the brain's way of offering an escape when things feel overwhelming. While these thoughts can be incredibly distressing, they are often misunderstood in mental health training. Too many professionals are taught to be fearful and react by separating or isolating those who express these feelings. This approach can cause more harm than good. We have an opportunity to rethink this narrative. Instead of pushing away these difficult conversations, we can lean in, acknowledge that this is a human experience, and use it as a stepping stone for healing.

Ever feel like your brain is working overtime just to keep you safe? ๐ง When we're growing up, our brain is hyper-focused on survival, especially when we're facing threats. That means a lot of our resources are directed toward managing those stresses, instead of developing things like emotional awareness or intellectual growth. But hereโs the good news: healing is possible. By working with the brainโs neurobiology, through tools like EMDR and other deep healing methods, we can actually normalize emotional and cognitive functions. Our brain's job is to keep us safe, but once it knows we're safe, it can return to its full potential. ๐ฑ Follow me @dr.katetruitt for daily content about mental health, psychology, and neuroscience. ๐ก ๐๐ณ ๐๐ผ๐'๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐น๐ผ๐ผ๐ธ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ฑ๐ถ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐ฎ๐น ๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ฎ๐น ๐ต๐ฒ๐ฎ๐น๐๐ต ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ๐ฐ๐ฒ๐: Grab a copy of my book, ๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐น๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ถ๐ป ๐ฌ๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ๐.

Do old behaviors keep showing up in your life? Our brain learns what feels safe in childhood, and some of those patterns may no longer help us as adults. Safety isnโt just about trauma โ itโs about what weโve learned over time to protect ourselves. These old patterns, tied to our emotions, can still affect us today, even if they no longer serve us. When we recognize these patterns, we can change them. What would it look like to trust yourself again? ๐ฑ Start paying attention to these habits and get curious about where they come from.

Do you ever find yourself stuck in negative thought loops that wonโt 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 donโt define who you are now.

When something feels off in our mind or body, itโs easy to focus on whatโs not right and get stuck in anxiety or worry. But what if we shifted our focus just a few moments earlier, before that discomfort started? These signals are often the result of our system trying to protect us. The key to understanding these signals lies in paying attention to the subtle changes, rather than just the symptoms. By becoming curious about what led to that shift, we can better understand what our mind and body need. This curiosity can open the door to real change and healing.

Imagine your brain as a beautiful symphony orchestra, each part playing in perfect harmony. ๐ถ Sometimes, life's stresses can disrupt this balance, making some parts overpower others. Neurofeedback gently guides your brain back to its natural rhythm, like a warm embrace that encourages inner peace. It's like helping your brain rediscover its own sense of calm and well-being. This non-invasive technique measures brainwave activity and provides feedback, allowing your brain to self-regulate.

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. Through methods like neurofeedback, HeartMath, havening, and EMDR, we can actively delink from these outdated behaviors and embrace new ways of being.

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.

What shapes the way we see the world and connect with others? Our brains rely on frameworksโpatterns weโve learned over timeโto 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. What framework is guiding your choices today? ๐ญ Follow me @dr.katetruitt for daily content about mental health, psychology, and neuroscience. ๐ก ๐๐ณ ๐๐ผ๐'๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐น๐ผ๐ผ๐ธ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ฑ๐ถ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐ฎ๐น ๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ฎ๐น ๐ต๐ฒ๐ฎ๐น๐๐ต ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ๐ฐ๐ฒ๐: Grab a copy of my book, ๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐น๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ถ๐ป ๐ฌ๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ๐.

Early attachments play a crucial role in shaping who we are and how we navigate the world. Our parents guide us in understanding how to feel safe, loved, and successful. These early relationships influence our behaviors, whether we mirror our parents or act in ways that seem safest. The experiences we internalize from our family system help form our core values. Fortunately, thanks to the brain's neuroplasticity, we can reprogram these patterns and heal, even after complex childhood experiences.

Defensiveness when giving or receiving feedback is a common experience, particularly with loved ones. This reaction often stems from past moments that trigger feelings of being unlovable or not good enough. Our brains operate in patterns, and feedback from close individuals can remind us of old, unresolved experiences, causing defensiveness. Using "I" statements instead of "you" statements and asking for permission before giving feedback can help create a safe space for open communication.

Do you sometimes feel like your brain is on high alert in seemingly 'normal' situations? As a psychologist specializing in trauma, I've learned that our brains rewire after trauma, making us hypervigilant to certain stimuli. This can manifest in unexpected ways, such as sudden jumps or heightened anxiety in specific environments. But the good news is, with tools like CPR for the amygdala, we can help our brains heal and navigate these challenges.

Ever notice your mind and body shutting down when things feel too overwhelming? Blacking out or dissociating may be the systemโs way of protecting itself during trauma. These responses show that the brain is struggling to manage the intensity, but with the right tools, healing is possible. Itโs important to balance healing with building new, healthy pathways in the brain through neuroscience and self-compassion. With a trauma-informed therapist, you can strengthen your resilience and start creating a new way forward. If blackouts are happening, treat yourself with patience and loveโhealing takes time.

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.
